Gear Sightings 2008-09 Gear Sightings

[ZINC 8]

This begs the question what's more annoying:

"Are these the X:60 skate?"

or

"Anyone notice Ovechkin is using one95/CCM/Easton stick?"

I know you got my PM. Respond! B)

[JR Boucicaut 3795]

Best part that it is the footer of the title...ugh

For a second I thought Ovechkin was using a Stealth CNT in that picture!

[Fourth Line Grind 0]

Same haha 'cuz I have next to no connection here and it took like 20 seconds to load the pic.

My lhs has the 2009 Bauer 4 rolls and the Easton S17 skates and my cat's name is Mittens.

[hockeyguy39 0]

are the new 4 rolls nice?

[IniNew 53]

Are you sure he has a cat named Mittens?

[K9 Unit 1]

very weird.....those have always been "itech" now it a "bauer" concept II or dx100 :o

and just when you got used to stuff that should say "Cooper" saying "Bauer", right? :)

is it just me or would other people prefer having itech branded on it too?

coz the bauer logo is pure laziness and unimpressive

[cougarscaptain87 12]

how often do you look at the logo on your visor? i think the bauer should be on there because bauer now owns itech, its the same product, same quality, just a different screen printed logo. not a big deal

[the iceman 132]

are the new 4 rolls nice?

They are the same as the current NBH glove except for the "Bauer" on the cuff.

I personally liked the old 'Bauer' on the old gloves which was screened on and in a big bold font (for 'seen on tv' reasons?) that covered as much of the cuff as possible. The new ones have it sewn on the cuff in smaller letters with 2 tone stitching.

[furlanitalia 1]

Funny thing is I might actually buy an Itech visor now that it says bauer on it....

New liner

[TBLfan 25]

The new liner felt like it opened the gloves up a little more.

Hmmm i wonder if it' one of the things where the old name was sold to a new company.

Looks like Perani sold the name

Heck, those gloves are literally rebranded Louisville "HGT team" gloves... Looks like they even have the removable plastic thumb reinforcement piece.

Which one, the "G-Lite" with the split roll above the fingers?

[HattrickSwayze 3]

I can give some insight when I get mine. I ordered a pair of the XR55 and a pair of the G-Lites. I was hoping they wouldn't be that popular, so if I liked them I'd have a bunch more colors to choose from. Unfortunately it looks like they're selling a fair bit of them.

They're supposed to be here sometime Friday.

[metalwinger13 1]

I picked up a pair of the G-Lites, they seem kind of cheap to me for some reason. I got the black and green colored ones.. i know the prostock pants theyre selling for 50 are pretty nice. A huge upgrade for me with the prostock pants. But the gloves seem to have a neat palm. It feels and looks like a Rhino bedliner type material along the area the stick would be. The rest of the palm seems like a weird material i havent seen before or used.. but then again im fairly new to this gear whore or atleast knowing whats what with equipment

Yeah, those are the only ones I saw on there. Straight up HGT Team gloves (an old tps smu glove). If they're going for $50 or so I would guess that would be a pretty decent deal. I seem to remember them going for $65-70 when they were new. Can't see the palms so I can't even guess as to what they're made of.

During an intermission interveiw, I say Derick Roy wearing these:

Not sure if that's a part of his undershirt and worn with shoulder pads, or if he's wearing those as shoulder pads, but still kinda interesting. My guess would be under pads though.

[furlanitalia 1]

Saw some stuff like that at the Hockey Shop the other day, except it cover most of the upper body and arms. Pretty sure it wasn't Under Armour either...

[Chadd 916]

Looks like something similar to the zoom bang pads applied to the shoulder. There are a couple manufacturers selling that type of stuff.

[TBLfan 25]

Looks kinda like maltese gel pads.

OV was using a 10k tonight. I think he's used almost every top end ops this year.
