With the lighter pucks, protection is not really an issue. Anything will do, really. Check closeouts on GoalieMonkey, HockeyGiant, The Goalie Crease, Goalie Heaven, etc.

The big concern with inline is generally heat. Some top-of-the-line C/A's are incredibly hot off-ice - Brown is notorious for this. The only two C/A's I've seen that do anything meaningful to combat this are the Brian's Zero-G and Battram Custom, which use a lot of Air-Knit and Exceed; the Brian's also doens't use plastics, so it's much lighter and breathes better.

Generally speaking, if you see a C/A with loose knit material, it'll play cooler than one with flat nylon.
