Gear spottings at the WCOH Euro-pool

[Dave 1]

Yesterday I've been at the Cologne Arena to watch the WCOH game Germany vs. Finland. I thought I hadn't seen any Reebok, but darn I've been pretty blind. Leask wore Reebok gloves and helmet during last night's game:

Kreuzer, too had Reebok gloves, a Reebok helmet and what looks like a Germany WCOH Stealth that I have missed:

You need to look at the German player behind him. He has a Reebok helmet.

I really like those Reebok helmets a lot.

LOL I know that, but I was just stating that Hagman was wearing a Bauer 8000 with non-EPP foam.

Just trying to help. Sometimes Fridays can be a little foggy after hockey and beers on Thursday.

Help JR ?!? LOL!! That should be in my quote section.

[LkptTiger 1]

The T'Blades with the white runners look nice. Much better than the black, in my opinion.

...And I'm NOT racist ;)

I hate how bulky the new helmets are looking.

[all-star 0]

but they provide the most protection.

[cobrAA 0]

in my opinions the ops the helmet look kinda cool and good(let wait to see which curve wil be retail!!)

but for the glove...well there ugly as hell...i prefer way better the new vapor!!!

and for the skate like some people said they look too much too vector!!!so i prefer buying ccm

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

Here's a hint...MODANO.

[Edge 0]

The helmet looks nice from the front but it looks HIDEOUS fromt he side with all those vents exposed. yuck.

[Chadd 916]

You have to make it bigger to add more styling elements. If you keep them all stripped down, they all look very similar. It's hard to say that your product is much better than another when they look very similar.

[Eazy_b97 1]

I don't disagree with that nor do I disagree that the bigger they are the more protection they are able to offer, but It doesn't mean I'm going to think they look good.

I have yet to see anything showing that the new helmets actually reduce impact force. I would think there has to be a test somewhere.
