Sher-wood vintage V. Nike Bauer vintage

[walkerdb7 20]

Has anyone worn both the Sher-wood and NBH vintage shoulder pads?

Could anyone compare them? Bulk? movement? Protection?

I have the Bauer Classics and they are awesome. The thin bicep pad is separate from the shoulder cap, whereas the Sher-wood bicep is attached to the shoulder cap. The Bauer's have awesome freedom of movement and provide fine protection for beer-league hockey.

I've used both, find the nike/bauer to be a little more protective, but it really is pp.

Are the bauers bulky? bulkier than the sher-woods?

I find the SW's to stretch out over time, I' have replaced them 2x and moved to some NBH Classics and some old SB88's I had floating around...

The NBH classics working out better for you?

I cracked a rib with the classics, however it was open hockey and the kid hit me from behind [got his stick on my side as we went down] but I don't blame the pad I wasn't expecting amazing protection anyway, otherwise they are extremely comfortable.

I wore the SherWoods for my senior year in college (NCAA D3). I'm a big guy, 6'3" 220 and played a physical style, but I never had any issues with the Classics. The only thing I didn't like about them was the fact that the shoulder cap was connected to the biceps pad instead of free floating, but otherwise it was a good pad for me.

Is it possible for you to make a post and not state you played D3? I'm running out of cookies here.
