antyz14 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 You'll like em...Shins are good, but very competitive with, lets say RBK 6k (those look and feel pretty nice)Elbows probably the lacking one (however, i was advised to buy Itech 955 instead but after putting them on i went with bulky Missions)finally, my favorite piece - shoulders... i think these are one of the best shoulders i have put on... walking around pro shop and see how all those pads made out of the cloth... well, u'll like em... I wonder if police will wear them, im sure it will stop the bullet! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adam14 182 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 how are the shin pads? bulky-ish or more narrow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antyz14 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 i guess u can say bulky-ish. they are not that wide but because of the advance suspension they are not close to the foot type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antyz14 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 lol... was thinking about skates (closer to the foot)! Yes, shin, indeed!!!Support dealers? I would love to, but besides skate sharpening services and other little crap i cant find their pricing competitive to the online stores. With very rare exceptions, there is like 20-40$ difference on everything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramensandwich 1 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 i just wore them last night, and i find the width of the shins to be perfect... they are wider than eastons but narrower than vectors/rbk... the shin suspension is really nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With very rare exceptions, there is like 20-40$ difference on everythingi can only add this- there is more to a product than just the price tag in front of you. that said there are pros and cons to both, but if the B&M stores go away it will be to your disadvantage. sorry to hi-jack the thread and go off in another direction. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
