Show off your gear

[Netminder32 32]

Had these right up until this week....all NHL spec stuff with pro stuffed pads.

...what a train wreck.

Cannot wait to be back into 12" wide pads... ... Look Out MSH Winterfesters, going old school!

More pics of my beautiful new V2's...

Don't know who Elsaesser is but I'm glad he never took delivery of these pads. Picked them up from Perani's Windsor (pro returns). Not a lot of mods on 'em. Two leg straps instead of three, a slight taper to the top, "plus" thigh rise sizing and custom colours of course. They were displayed as 34 +2's but measure 34 +3. Can't wait to get them on the ice this Friday night...

My new gear for this season

Passau Hasta90

Rebellion A98 27 inch

I like small company, the price and the service is always better than big company.

Rest of the gear (not shown)

Itech NV7

RBK 9k skates

[Netminder32 32]

And now for something completely different...

Just to spice things up.... thought I'd throw in a pic of my old (1908) Singer 29k.

It's ok to show off the equipment you use to fix your gear right?...

Just bought this old school koho trapper.

BTW does anyone know what model this is? i think it's the 560 model?

I believe so. This page claims that it's the 560.

[camhockey16 5]

i have the same exact glove - and it is my favorite i have ever used - but mine is the koho 590 (patrick roy version)

[LivHockey84 0]

thats what I thought but now i gotta find a damn matching blocker...lol

[camhockey16 5]

this is an old page but it shows that its probably a 590

You're right about it being a 560, not a 590...

the "k" shaped lines on the cuff are a lot "sharper" on the 590. I've got one out in the garage.

I'll get a pic up if i have time to later on.

[LivHockey84 0]

yeah thats what i noticed, dont have a matching blocker you'd be willing to let go do ya?...lol j/k

[camhockey16 5]

im betting ebay is probably your best bet to ever find one - but i didnt see any on there currently

you could also go this route and get one similar

whether it is a 560 or 590 it is still a awesome glove - i've been trying to keep mine in good condition because i like mine so much

[LivHockey84 0]

yeah, I figured ebay. I'm trying to gear up for after the holidays so i can play goalie the rest of the season.

Here is a link to a set of photos of my Koho 590 gloves

The trapper you posted is a Koho 560. That said, why do you need the exact model of matching blocker? I can understand getting something in the same color palette, but same brand and model is perplexing. That model is probably close to 10 years old. I'm sure there is a much better option available, with better protection, and new design standards.

Yes i know, just i would like to match the graphics and price is an issue also. i know that if i found a matching blocker the price would be lower then lets say one of the newer Koho 700 series blockers. Not mandatory actually there is a really nice blue and white Louisville from about a few years ago at the local PIAS i'll probably pick up this weekend if i cannot find a match.

[LivHockey84 0]

Well I picked up that TPS blocker today, quite a nice match actually. I just wish the silver was black but i got it for a steal at $25 and the palm is still in good condition.

[Justin Liedloff 13]

That's a quality blocker. I had one for a few years. I particularly like the player glove style fingers, which prevent smashing your fingers, or stray pucks. I thought the sidewall was a little flimsy, especially compared to the Bionic, which came just before it.

[LivHockey84 0]

I too like the glove style fingers, it seems that if offers more freedom of motion.

My new custom pads from Smith Hockey

[LivHockey84 0]

very nice & very....uh, white!

[camhockey16 5]

i dunno they look yellow to me - but i think thats just the lighting

im jealous - i want to get that smith stuff too at some point

[LivHockey84 0]

yeah, im just jealous too...lol

[SEagle30 0]

Yeah they are white. I love them. I used to wear RBK PII but they were falling apart. These pads are HUGE. 36+2. But I'm 6'4" so i think they'll do. lol
