Looking for some old fashion style shoulder pads

[Docter Pepper 0]

All i play anymore is rec hockey. It's no check, but usually mid-way through the games it starts to pick up a bit. I haven't worn shoulder pads in over a year, so i don't want to go back to my fullsize shouler pads for rec hockey. I saw some Eastion Classics online and was wondering what else was out there. Do any of you have any experiences with the current "old school" shoulder pads?

best non-check would probbaly be Sherwood 5030s Very nice and light

[DamnLocust 0]

SherWood 5030 "traditional". They have a whole line of "old school" equipment.

I'm looking to pick up a pair for myself, as I haven't worn any shouldies for the past 2 seasons, but it's nice to have a bit of protection there. Just a matter of me not being lazy and going to my LHS.

edit: beat me to it.

I also remember seeing some Bauer ones on Hockeygiant last spring, but i can't find them now. Our annual Allumni high school game is next month and that will be full check

maybe you mean something like the bauer 400 series? they're low end pads, but minimalistic.

That's what I've been wearing for a while now and they work just fine.

I don't think thats what it was. I remember they had hard plactic shells and i think they were white and blue. Also, they were going for about $60 at the time. I thought something like HDP was in the title of it

Pics of the 400 series for reference

It was probably the Bauer SBDII Shoulder pads. There's some on eBay.

i bet you're thinking of the pro-stock ones hockey giant had for $40. bauer SBDII - and IIRC they only came in large...

like these:

I think DR makes a line of gear called "Legend" that caters to old school gear.

Yeah, those are the ones. Anyone know any sites currently selling them?

Check out the Itech SP50, as minimal as they come.

It's called the D & R 1650.

Not many size left.

The model year before them was much better. The 1600 was a very good pad but some of the changes they made to the 1650 made them much less popular.

cant go wrong with them.

So is there any sort of consensus on what pair offer the maximum protection out of this group? The Bauer ones look the strongest to me, but i have not had experience with any of these types of shoulder pads. Still interested in a link for the Bauer SBDII's for sale too

The easton Classic SP has more protection for the chest, back and upper arms than the Bauer's or Sher-wood's.. I have the Sher-wood 5030's myself. They are very light anf comfy, but it hurts to take a slapper in the chest or ribs.

I ordered a pair of the Easton classic's from greatskate here in Sweden yesterday, but they didn't have XL in stock, so i have to wait a few weeks to get them delivered from US.. I will write a review when worn a few times

a couple years ago Hespeler had a line called Classic Lite.

like the name says, they were classic styled, and very light. i had a pair of classic lite shin pads and they were very lightweight, comfortable, and adequate protection for rec play.

here's a pic of the shoulder pads:

i don't know where they're available, ebay would be your best bet.

I still have a pair of them in the closet, nice pads.

I ordered the Easton Classics today, we'll see how it goes once they arrive

Bauer is making their NHL Pro pad available at retail. It's not even in the catalog, my rep brought it by. It's not cheap, probably $179. Very little chest padding with hard shoulder caps.

Was talking with Keith Primeau last season in the locker room and he was wearing a pair. Pretty sweet looking pad.

these?

Bauer SP "pro stock" - 150€ in Germany...

is there gold inside or what makes these worth 150€?

The smallest shoulder pads, which are super light would have to be the graf 705's if you asked me.

Your looking for old school stuff but this is like going back to old school. It does have hard plastic padding on the tip of the shoulder, but other then that it feels like nothings on you.

703 was more of a classic pad and both the 703 and 705 are much heavier than the Sher-Wood or DR pads. I've owned the 703, 5030, Hespeler and DR pads and all of them were lighter than the 705.

Ok, I really know nothing about any of those pads except the 705. I Know it is super light compared to alot of other shoulder pads. I'd like to try on some 703's then.

Did you sell yours? Sounds like you had alot of shoulder pads.
