V10 shoudler pads OVE vs rbk 9k

[CTK30 0]

I'm thinking about getting these but I can't really find much info on them

I've seen some one that said they are bulky and one that said they aren't

My LHS doesn't have any to try on but I'm going to get them there

RBK 9k's are also a consideration

Do you think they are bulky or not?

I don't know if they are bulky but I would make sure you try them on before you buy. Everyone's opinion of bulky can be different.

i have the V08 and my a buddy of mine has the v10 both fit the same just one as different material and more protection. they are not bulky at all they are fited and it almost like you don't wear them. Best shoulder pad i ever tried on and i tried them all in the store before getting these, and just to let know everyone reebok 2009 shoulder pad lines are changing and look jut like the ccm.

I haven't look in awhile but I don't think my LHS has them

I think they have the v08 shins and elbows though so maybe they do

Has anyone tried the rbk 9k's?

I've tried on the 9k. i personally found them bulky. my frame of reference is an 5 years old pair of jofa 2500 pads though. the 9k definitely had a more solid protective feel to them. but i did notice some trade off with mobility when i raised my shoulder or raised my elbow above my shoulder.

also i should mention i got tripped on a break away and went full speed into the end boards and impacted directly on my left shoulder wearing the jofa JDP style pads. the impact was huge and my shoulder was sore for about a week but healed fully so i def believe that the JDP style shoulder caps offer good protection

9K: bulky (but in a good protective sort of way)

V10.0: not bulky in the least, very comfortable

IMO

v10 have more spinal,chest, ribs protection and less bulky more mobility they are realy neat and great.

It looks like the V10 has great clavicle protection also

By looking at them the v10 looks bulkier and I wasn't expecting to hear the results above.

I'll go see how much they are at my LHS now

Edit: I think it was just hockey monkeys picture

They don't look very bulky in this picture

compared to the rbk 9k you don't look like a football player the pads on the shoulder are smaller.
