Gear Whores, what do you gearwhore the most?

[Allsmokenopancake 0]

OK, I think almost everyone that uses MSH is a bit of a gearwhore, but what is the one thing you go for more than everything else.

If you look at some of the picture threads, Buzz, Ponty etc etc have huge stick collections, others get skates, and some gloves.

So, what is it for you, or are you fairly even with your spending, and why?

For me I am still playing a low level league, so I can't justify a $200 stick for my 40 cent shot.

I'm a glove person, just realized it today, when, after buying a pair of the RBK team canada gloves last week, I am contemplating getting the XX in the sell section.

I have CCM Vectors, Mission HE750 (white, I needed a pair of white gloves!!) and now the Team Canada RBK, which are lovely gloves, love em.

So, whats your weakness when it comes to gear, and why?

The beginning of my glove fetish...

I relly like those Canadian RBKs Allsmoke! The Canadian Olympic Eagle gloves are pretty great too!

I want to be a glove whore.

But I have to keep myself in check to not give in and spend money on gear i don't need. (quietly saving up for a ring for my girl)

I have these 5000s. I also bid on a pair of Ottowa style ones on ebay , but lost in the last seconds.

I also have these second hand Coopers I started with last year. I love them but they were already well used when i got them and got pretty crusty after a couple of months.

There were some black and red coopers on hockey world for $25 i wish i would have bought.

I also have some cheap-ass eastons i got to use outside practicing on my in-lines.

Helmets/Visors...

thats my thing I cant get enough Helmets but especially Visors. I love Visors and I want as many differant styles to choose from.. the problem is that the states only has a certain number of style hence why I custom cut my own... im looking on a way to start buying Hejduk visors and such..

gloves, skates, and shafts... currently have 3 brand new ones, still in the wrapping....

My biggest addiction is sticks, but there's a place in my heart for gloves as well. I've trimmed down both of those selections a bit through selling/giving, but now I turn around and realize I've got 4 pairs of ice skates. :(

I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same.

edit: not three hours after posting this, I went out and bought another stick. back to square one, i guess

Well between my and my brother, we probably have over 75 sticks laying around the house all still can be used and about 25 more that are either too small or broke(rediculous but you just gotta love it). Now i have 3 skates that i can play with tomorrow if i wanted too: one90's(current skate), XXX, and Grafs G3's all i can use. Gloves I have the RBK team Canada gloves too(current), and BLK w/RED Oakley that are in great condition. My helments, i have a mission intake BLK(still used) and 2 Bauer 5500 in BLK. SO what can you say- i guess my family is a hockey family EH?

(by the way my dad hates me and my brother as you can probably tell why :lol:)Ill try and post up pictures but i have no idea how so if i dont get them up soon then youll know why

But my brother is a junior in college and debating whether to play club next year or not. I play Midget AA(never really thought of trying out for AAA due to that fact im the younger midget('92) this year.

Shafts, different curves of RB's.

I Tinker all the time with my curve, which is fine, but alot of times I buy a curve very different from my current one júst to try it out.

e.g. went from Drury clone -> Warrior Smyth -> Bauer p106 -> CCM 19curve -> to now wanting to try the Rbk Datsyuk.

Have alot of different curves/rb's in my basement, but only use the current one, rest are collecting dust... :-(

And I'm in europe so it's too much of a hazzle to put anything in the sell section.

currently skates to convert, and i have wayyyy too many sticks, i went crazy at the Stars sale.

why? I'm still looking for the right stuff. the only way to find it, is to look.

How much were your RBK's. Never really liked them before but they look rather nice

[top-shelf 1]

Broken sticks...

Team Canada RBK, which are lovely gloves, love em.

Nice! I'm glad you like them. They are a great glove, they were just a little roomy for my liking. For me, I'm a sucker for sticks... I know it's not as bad as some of our counterparts, but I was up to 8 OPS'... I never used a handful of them due to patterns I didn't like, too stiff, etc. Where I'm learning myself, it's taken me a bit to adjust, and lighten up on the flex.

While sticks is my main weakness, I do have other vices, ie: the RBK gloves, purely an impulse buy, used them a few times and they sat there.

They were $30 shiny new dollars thanks to AnthonyJTA and the MSH sell section.

I couldn't be happier with them.

The one thing I love about the H750's is the air ventilation, and the RBK's have that too, not quite as effective in my opinion as Missions, but still a big help to me (after losing my glove on a faceoff thanks to sweat.

I think the monkey has them in their clearance section.

Honestly pictures don't do them justice, they are even nicer in person

[Chadd 916]

Gloves. I must have at least 8-10 pair of gloves in the closet.

DR legend 1600

Salming PG1

Sande Max Pro

TPS R2 x2

Hespeler classic pro

TPS Bionic

Graf 700

Mission MSH Heliums

I have another pair on the way and I could probably find at least one or two more in the closet if I looked hard enough.

I don't think I've quite reached "gear whore" creditation yet. I have the potential to be, but I usually manage to curb my urges to purchase new stuff. I could easily be a glove whore though, and I'd be buying new sticks everyday if I allowed myself. I have back-ups of everything but only have sticks in multiples. With all the out-of-season sales though, I might have to pick up some new twigs.

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

5 pair skates

Was up to 6 pair of gloves

Mission Flyweights

[cougarscaptain87 12]

sticks.... it was on the market, i probally have/had it

[Jarick 5]

Blades, lots of blades.

I bought over the last few months:

Bauer 4000 P106

Bauer One60 PM9

Easton ST Heatley

Easton Z-Carb Drury

Sherwood XD Bouchard

CCM V40 Recchi

Still love the Heatley, the rest are either destroyed or sold. Recchi is great but I need another shaft to use it.

[TBLfan 25]

Sticks and gloves.

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

Also forgot hockey jerseys...

[mack 44]

Sticks, for which I'm actually glad I've never put them together for a pic, but a close second would be skates. I've still got old school Vapor 10s brand new I found on clearance "just in case" I ever went back to them.

[Chadd 916]

Also forgot hockey jerseys...

oh god, let's not even go there. I have boxes of them in the closet.

[barrett 0]

Rawlings made hockey gloves??? Can I see some Pics please.

Rawlings made hockey gloves??? Can I see some Pics please.

A buddy of mine has a pair of the Hull Auto'd mitts as well. They are actually quite nice. If I recall correctly, one palm was digital and the other was different, possibly cowhide?

Gloves and sticks- Ive got 3-4 pairs of each at any given time. I'll sell some off, but then they just seem to get replaced by something else....

[Neilsen 0]

i dont have enough money to whore just about anything but i do have a few inline pants

[A_Steeves12 0]

Sticks, i have been cutting back tho im down to only 9 now.

I tend to buy blades for no reason at all.

3 pairs of gloves now.

And the worst one is skates as they are most expensive. i currently have 2 pairs but everytime i see a pair of my size in pretty much any top of the line skate floating around on ebay i want them.

I have a problem
