is this a legit site?

[Jason16 0]

Yep, it is. There was a thread on this a little while back. I believe the consensus was the equipment were factory seconds.

[thefelixculpa 0]

factory seconds? what does that mean exactly?

i see that everything on this site is cheaper than ive seen anywhere else, yet no one really talks about it. just made me skeptical.

[Jason16 0]

Cosmetic Blems. The logos or some stitching may be off centre etc. small things.

Search for hockey.lax and you'll find the thread

would these still come with replacement palms like i've been reading is the norm for the xxx's???

which also brings up my question...what the heck are you supposed to do with replacement palms...sew them in yourself? seems kinda strange to me.

Take the gloves and replacement palms to a Shoe Repair place. They can do it.

I bought a pair and mine didn't. At the time, I didn't know they came with replacements so I didn't think to ask though.

the original XXXs ('05 i believe) that were branded "bauer" came with the replacement palms.

the '06 model (i believe branded nike-bauer) did not.

if i bought say a Synergy II blade from here, what could i expect to find wrong with it? i'd search, but i'm at work and don't have all the time in the world to surf.

the customer service for this site doesnt seem to give a crap haha.

i wrote a nice semi formal email to them asking some questions and all i got in response was a "no. -neil"

[regularjoe 1]

They do allow returns so you could do the old buy and try routine.

[mack 44]

Their stuff has blems? My brother cleared about 5 Dolo shafts from them this winter and they were all fine.

[LkptTiger 1]

I bought a bunch of AKs (the last of their 85s) and can't find anything wrong with them, aesthetics or otherwise.

Bought those exact gloves from them this past winter, no issues at all, no mention of them being "seconds" + real quick shipping (I'm only about 20 min from them tho). There were no 2nd palms, but they weren't advertised to come with them, either. these guys alos run lax.com (obviously) which is one of the most popular lacrosse equipment stores

I can't believe NBH hasn't cut them off yet.

[Chadd 916]

I can't believe NBH hasn't cut them off yet.

Or Mission, $69 intakes?

[sabre09923 0]

V-11 and V14 Shins also only have $2 difference in price! I also love how there's a price difference in X-Stiff and Stiff Vapor XV's...

NBH will probably cut them off soon.

unless they already have. They used to be Hockey.com, then they sold off that url and switched over. Note they also don't seem to be stocking much in the way of newer equipment. For a while, they only had warrior OPS, and now have none.

my guess is they're getting out of the hockey game entirely, and are keeping the site up on their lax.com server in order to get rid of old stock, and blowing out the prices.

I ordered pants, shoulder pads, and got a hockey bag for my buddy and they all seemed fine to me. Everything came in the original factory packaging and seemed 1st quality to me.

The prices for some of the items are pretty good compared to buying them in Canada. I would definitely buy from them again.

That was my guess...

But yeah, all the stuff I bought from them was entirely brand new. Most of the stuff was still in what seemed to be original wrapping and never touched the showroom. Idk where the 'seconds' was coming from.

And shipping is fast anc cheap, USPS, which is why I love buying there.

[hunterphfr 12]

Seems to be alot of old stOck, limited sizes and color sections. They could be getting out of the hockey business or they just buy off lots at cheaper prices and pass on the savings.

customer service told me when I emailed them that they are getting out of the hockey business.

[jmiro 55]

i ordered from them and it was the fastest shipping i ever expeirence. All I bought was pant shell no problems found and in orginal packaging. All the one90 are gone thinking about picking up the 70s. their sight is getting picked over quick.

im buyin me some new gloves to bad the eagles are to small. guess ill stick with xxx's

I bought some S9 Easton Stealth shin pads from them and they were brand new and were not "factory seconds" or blems. They were only $50. Shipping was very, quick. Overall, I was quite impressed. This was last November, so if they are going out of business, they have been for quite a while.
