CCM E-Flex vs Bauer Supreme Sizing

[kovalchuk71 212]

Looking to get my brother a set of pads for Christmas, as his are beat to crap. He currently wears Bauer Supreme One.5 32"+1 and I'd like to upgrade him to the Eflex 860s. From what I've been reading, the CCMs fit a bit bigger than listed. What size should I be looking at?

with CCM the sizing is interesting

i'm using the previous years EflexPros so i came from a bauer one60 set in my bauers i was using 36+1

in my epros? 33+2.5

they're the exact same size, its weird. This newer version of eflex like the set youre going for are one up, so to get the same measurement as the set i'm using now i would have to use 34+2-2.5 to get the same size fit,

From what it sounds like (wearing a 33+1 in Vaughn), I could probably wear an intermediate CCM pad? Weird.

you'd get away with it on a CCM pad, they run kind of big. on Vaughn i have to use a 36+2, i tried a 35+1 in vaughn and landed directly on the ice and missed the entire knee stack.

Manufacturers need to get it together and SET ONE SIZE for all pads across the board.

its absurd in CCM i'm 33+2.5

bauer 36+1

Brians 35+1.5

Passau 34+2

I wonder what the Koho are like in sizing?

I'd imagine the Koho sizing is similar to CCM/Reebok.
