steelnation248 101 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 I got large 7000's and they are a bit snug for my liking. I have 1052's in XL and they're too big. Haha.I ordered 7000's in XL and 520's in a L last night and will compare them when they get here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HattrickSwayze 3 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 I also received my 520s today. They are the newer vented style, marked 520ECHL. They fit pretty true to size I feel. I wear a size 50 in Tacklas and wear a large in Bauer One80s. The 520s in size medium fit me pretty well. I'm right about 6'0 and 190 and they're good on waist and length. I think a size large would've been too bulky personally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 520s are noticeably loose in comparison. I'll need suspenders compared to the 7000s.2. The 7000s uppers are completely different which are lower than the 520s. I was a bit uncomfortable in the 520s while they also kept falling down my legs.3. The 7000s have better padding on the legs, better for D-men blocking shots. The 520s have better kidney protection though.4. The 520s (vented) don't really feel that much cooler.5. The 7000s are tighter pulling them up (I have to work my way a bit) but once they are on, they are very comfortable and snug but not overly tight.6. The belt on the uppers of the 7000s is loose and moves around, while the 520s is sewn in place, not a big deal.7. I would say the 520s aren't necessarily as loose as they sound, but if buying the wrong size will be very noticeable. Keep in mind I haven't even broken in the 520s yet, I'll probably wear them a few hours before I hit the ice Friday, but I do notice the 7000s fit a lot more like Vapors.
