How often do you guys replace your gear?

[Nick23 0]

Kinda stemmin from the hockey much you spend on hockey per year...

Helmet - Every 3 years, only changed cause i won an intake from mission

Neck guard - never, had my last one since i started

Shoulder Pads - 2 years, usually wrecked by then

Elbow pads - change with the shoulder pads

Gloves - Once a year

Shorts - get new shorts every few years

Cup - Hate changing my box, every 3-4 years once it is torn apart

Leg pads - 2-3 years

Skates - every year, just dont last

Sticks - Everyones most changed piece of equipment i guess. Probably 3 sticks and 4 blades a year.

Average per year - about $900 a year

I'm at the point where I haven't replaced anything except sticks in three years now. Gloves will be first to go, although I'm trying to swing a free pair however I can. I need a new helmet pretty badly, but I just haven't gotten around to getting one.

I don't have spectific time lengths mainly when it breaks down/breaks or I see something worth buying.

The only pieces of equipment I find myself replacing on a semi-frequent basis are my sticks and gloves. Gloves probably every 1.5 seasons or so, and sticks whenever they break/crack, probably once or twice a season. Everything else just seems to last season upon season, so I don't replace anything until it completely breaks or the integrity of the protection of the gear is somehow lowered.

I play rec. hockey only so I'm not tough on my equipment. I'm pretty happy with most of my protective gear so I haven't changed most of it in 4-5 years, and it's still in good shape too. I'm pretty fussy with skates, gloves, and helmets though, so those get changed whenever something better comes out. Still, I managed to get at least 2-3 years out of those things. I've used my Synthesis shaft for 2-3 seasons and I change blades probably every 4-5 mo.

I go on a "not broken don't fix it" type of attitude on my equipment, so a lot of my stuff is older. Today my dumbass messed up my Oakley visor so I gotta get a new one. :(
