cbettner66 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2005 Does anyone know what a good goalie pad is for playing on pavement?I'm looking for something that will last quite a while - i have used franklin street hockey goalie pads in the past. Similar ones to this:Franklin PadsThey are ok but do fall apart after a while - it would be nice if there was some other ones out there that i could pick from - but it doesnt seem like there are - i suppose because there isnt much of a market for them??Anybody have some suggestions?

cbettner66 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2005 i normally use the franklin plastic pads and they work pretty well - i just wondered if there was something better out therethose hespeler pads are very tempting - im just not sure if they will last as long as plastic pads would on pavement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbettner66 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2005 i wish some company besides franklin would make a pair of nice legpads that would last a long time (preferably similar to the plastic franklin ones)all the companies must think that hardly anyone needs this stuff and they cant make money at it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeeZa32 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2005 I like the good ole' Mylec pads. Those were AWESOME(as long as you made them TIGHT as hizzell because they'd slide and your knees would hit the ground, ouch) for concrete.If you two pad stacked the right way, you'd seem to coast/slide across the pavement...man those things were steek. Definetly worth the price of like $40 for a ball hockey pad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
