bulletproof_funk 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 Helmet: Jofa 690 - rounder fit fits my rounder head like no other, plastic shell a little thin compared to other companiesFace: Jofa 480 Chrome - lightweight, good visibility, except the one bar that's right in my line of sight (have to flip the hinge clips upside down)Mouthguard: Shock Doctor - does the trick, hard to talkShoulder: Bauer 3000 - decent (maybe overkill) protection for pickup, maybe a tad bulkier than what I really need but no biggie, velcro straps tend to stick to jerseyElbow: Jofa 3505 - lasts a long time, great fit, soft elbow caps are nice, velcro straps tends to stick to jerseyGloves: Mission Warp Zeros - fits snug, hand opens easy, no break-in time, index finger never gets in the way, needs ventilation, stinks up real bad real fastPants: CCM Supra (circa 2001) - cheap and light weight, tail bone plastic shifts/rotates inside the padded material, buttons rustedJock: Itech Lycra - I like the compression short and velcro convenience, cup could cover moreShins: Itech (forget model) - removable liner is nice, not wide or bulky, lower strap could be placed slightly higher upSkates: Graf 609 - fits my lower foot exceptionally well, nothing else compares so far, a bit big around my ankles (see my review)Shaft: Easton Synthesis 85 - I like the lower connection point of tapered shafts, flex is pefect for me, lacking in feel compared to other shafts (see my review)Blade: Easton Synthesis Composite - lasts long for me (5 mo.), light weight, good performance, Drury pattern hard to find Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've already replaced the stuff I didn't like (pretty much everything) I guess I'd like better Shoulder pads (the only thing I havnet' replaced), but I'm playing Non Contact hockey, so no real worries. I wish I could afford better sticks though. Edited September 14, 2004 by RadioGaGa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave 1 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 Helmet: Bauer 5000 white - good helmet, looks bulky though. I'll get a black Carbster anytime soon.Cage: Jofa chrome cage - second to none in terms of weight and space-between-barsShoulder: Bauer 5000 - VERY protective but I am looking for something less bulky and less movement-restricting so I'll get V12sElbow: Nike V-Force (THG SMUs), unbelievable light weight and comfort, especially after Jay's modding-tutorial.Gloves: TPS Response Plus custom (14", longer fingers, black cable-knit) - those gloves rock, great mobility and the Digitech palm really gives a good grip on all sticks; on the heavy side though.Pants: Mission M-1 - well, good pant for the price, I like the protection (especially the back protector) and the inner liner; I dislike the poor workmanship, the badly constructed velcros that close the zippers (I cut off the velcros that really got in the way during each stride and stiched up the zippers so they do not open up, I don't use the zippers anyway); the amount of protection goes hand in hand with too much weight for my liking, I also prefer less bulky pants.Shins: Bauer 5000 - they get the job done, but they are bulky. I'll get V12s.Skates: Graf 705 teclites with factory-installed t'blades - Great comfort, fit is very good though the boot is too "roomy" for my flat arch. Might look for something with more ankle support.Sticks: Bauer TriFlex Gold (2x P106, 1x P88) - great stick, especially for the closeout price of 240 USD for 3; A XN10 stiff Tucker is on its way to my house, I'll see if it really is that good.

Nice, light and tight.Pants: Graf 700 (blue). A bit heavy, but I find them mobile (padding seems slippery, which helps).Shins: Easton Z-Airs. Not bad.

Very unrestictive yet good protection in the shoulders/biceps.Elbow Pads: Easton Z-Air. Don't like them. Cap is too big, restricts movement to straight arm position.
