Thanks for the review. I think this is also a good lesson that everyone had a preference on how they like their equipment. I am a fan of the 600/75 degree break
I´ve been using Bauer Ultrasonic sets for the last 2 seasons and for this season I will be using Mach. It's been okay, but I've not been able to really find the perfect feel. The feel that I had before switching to Bauer, I was previously a CCM Premier guy. In the past, I was able to make it feel pretty much like a extended part of my leg, but with Bauer it feels like it's just a piece of wood sitting on my leg. Hopefully I will like the Mach set more
My son loves his custom Mach pads, glove and blocker. We had to go custom due to be full-right. He is 6' 3" and the lower channel fits great. He uses the Bauer Pro Series skates after growing out of his konekts...

I love my Warrior G3 set, but watching these reviews makes me love my Warriors even more. Do a Warrior review for comparison it would be fun to watch :)
Trav, I have to say if I could get myself a 580 in Bauer glove I would. I feel like the need is there. Also, I love how mature you approached this review. Understanding just because it’s not for you that it’s not bad. 👍
Thanks for the review Trav!!! I personally don't like a stiff pad, therefore I'll stay away from Bauer. I like a soft booth, lots of flex at the knee, I'll stay with my Vaughn V9 pads and gloves (580 break), I like to be very mobile and stiff pads just don't work, but that's my preference. Great review, keep up the good work. :)
Great review. Thanks. Confirms what I suspected from Bauer, that I'm more of a Vapor/Hyperlite guy if I stick with Bauer. Currently have some 2S pros and I love the rebounds, but the stiffness does my hips no favors.
Great review Trav, really leaning towards hyper lite for my next set, coming from warrior. But that blocker cuff on the hyper lite is annoying. I would love to see Mach cuff (or hyper lite skin on a Mach). Also with you that 600 break is a nonstarter, 590 is doable but who uses 600 these days?
I’d be interested in how you’d feel about an ottenger or kemper style pocket on the true glove, max visibility into the pocket and a soft center to slow pucks even more than the nylon
Nice honest review, shame that Bauer couldn't make a 580, would have been interesting to compare with Lefevre. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on a floating T since you used to have one of your Brian's checkerboard glove.
After seeing a lot of people asking for a 580 glove from bauer, i still don't understand why they don't offer it in custom, even if they do build it for some nhlers. Some people chose to get a whole set of another brand because of this sole reason 🤷🏻♂️
@@trav4oilers the full right 580 is very specific tho, i understand that it's lower in demand, but a 580 in regular would be useful for a lot of people
My favourite pad brand I’ve ever bought. Vaughn, ccm, Brian’s and true always seem like they lag behind in technological advancement. I’d be curious what you think about the hyper light - softer core.
I went with bauer M5 pro for beer league and i love everything about the pad BUT the stupid strapping lol I took the tune fit off my 2x pros and modified just a tad, perfect now. I do have my own custom digi print hyperlite gloves tho. I love 590. my favorite blocker catcher is the v9 carbon xp glove and v9 carbon blocker. It super annoying you cant get m5 pro in custom colours as you could the 3x (I aint paying $2k+ for digi print mach, sorry )
I have an ultrasonic blocker. Hated it. The glove was way too tight. I think it literally gave me tendonitis. Went back to Warrior. I think the Mach pads are meh, I really like the SLR 3's. The vaughn professor strap is the best calf strap of any pad ever.
I was thinking you might be a Vapor instead of a Supreme guy. I keep thinking you're actually a Vaughn guy... but you stopped using your V9 set and I wasn't sure why, other than "it doesn't fit my playing style". I've also been curious why you picked 20.2 and not 12.2. Seems like with your butterfly width (same boat) and the fact you like softer pads you would like more "hybrid" style pads... but you keep moving more towards the butterfly focused pads.
@@trav4oilers Vaughn is the "almost" brand. Almost really good, but the small things add up. The gloves need some serious work .Like the pads move, but they could use some work on rebounds. They're soft and you either love or hate the professor strap, been eyeballing Bauer lately. Appreciated the Mach review.
I think that most goalies are snobs when it comes to catch gloves. Everybody has their favorite glove. For me it's a Brians sub2 glove. Any other glove and i cant catch anything 😅
Glad I didn't buy this set from ya (strongly considered it), my butterfly is super narrow. Gonna wait for the new hyperlites and if that doesn't tickle my fancy, gonna end up going custom Brian's.
Has anyone else tried the employee pricing that he is talking about i want to do it to save money but don’t want to to look like an idiot if they are just like yeah no nice try
I love my Bauer Vapor set...of course I'm not a change set every 6 months like many canadian or usa goalies, so I have to really cope with what I have. Also no matter what brand you use, your 5 hole is like mine..as wide as it gets, I know we have a narrow butterfly but like me I believe is a matter of out lazy a$$ not to properly train it of ice. I want to try a warrior set which I don't fully understand why you don't like anymore. I kinda like your gear reviews but I'll lie a more neutral view of things.
I can see your POV, but I have preferences. I'm reviewing my perspective. I try to be as unbiased and neutral as possible but I think thats why people watch these videos. You always have the ability to ignore my biases?
@@trav4oilers No, I actually thought of that, but instead of saying "Trav centered opinion" I used "neutral opinion" so I wouldn't feed your ego. Kid you're a good youtuber and it shows. Like you I just put my perspective my biases on what you're exposing, take the advise or don't take it that's entirely your choice.
@@srStinnky ego can’t get any bigger so no need to worry about that ;) no hard feelings man. Appreciate your support. Just because we don’t see eye to eye on everything doesn’t mean we gotta hate each other. We love goaltending.that’s good enough for me

Hope you do too man. Thanks for watching
Definitely not what I was expecting trav but man those Mach pads and glove set looks sooo good
Great vid man
See you in the next one buddy
Stay safe

I've been using these pads for the last two seasons, (AAA 12u) and they were a little too stiff, so I got the bauer vapor 3x pads, really good.
Glad you like em man :)
I love my Warrior G3 set, but watching these reviews makes me love my Warriors even more. Do a Warrior review for comparison it would be fun to watch :)
Somehow missed your review of it! For anyone else interested his G6 review is here th-cam.com/video/HjcaVG2nIrY/w-d-xo.html
G6 looks solid. Good time to upgrade
Idk why I love the graphic so much bin a hot minute since Bauer looked good

It's an amazing glove!
I like the way these look , they are sharp! Bright white with black puck marks, awesome look
Thank you brother :)

Need a little more flexibility my friend
Good review. Coming from a ccm 590 to a Mach glove, it was different. I still can’t catch the puck with ease. Learning process
All in good time my man
how do you take out the peice on the blocker that you were talking about? Just picked up a set of hyperlite 2 and there is that same peice
Great review Trav, really leaning towards hyper lite for my next set, coming from warrior. But that blocker cuff on the hyper lite is annoying. I would love to see Mach cuff (or hyper lite skin on a Mach). Also with you that 600 break is a nonstarter, 590 is doable but who uses 600 these days?
SOme guys use a 600

I need the lefevre double tee pocket with skate lace. That's the secret sauce man
How do you know what size you need? Don’t understand the small, medium, large sizing chart?
I am a large based on the sizing charts
Great review trav
I’m so excited to see your review on the pads
hope you loved it
@@trav4oilers yeah it was a good video. I found it entertaining and it had a lot of good information😄
Nice honest review, shame that Bauer couldn't make a 580, would have been interesting to compare with Lefevre. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on a floating T since you used to have one of your Brian's checkerboard glove.
Maybe one day they'll get the message :)
Awesome stuff Trav!
Thank you brother!
hey ma i got a question what do you with all of the pads you own but dont use
i sell them all :)
You want a mix of Lefevre and Bauer you say? That’s basically what Lefevre made for Bobrovsky. Best Lefevre pads I’ve used.
If only we could order that. Jorge and all those others are bozo's at true.
Did you consider getting the hyperlite knee stack, it’s suppose to have more flex than the supreme line
This was a stock set. That wasn't an option
You can get stabilflex on your Mach pads
At custom, but not at retail
After seeing a lot of people asking for a 580 glove from bauer, i still don't understand why they don't offer it in custom, even if they do build it for some nhlers. Some people chose to get a whole set of another brand because of this sole reason 🤷🏻♂️
Cause they're ignorant and want to pretend no demand exists
@@trav4oilers the full right 580 is very specific tho, i understand that it's lower in demand, but a 580 in regular would be useful for a lot of people
I understand what you mean about the glove. I'm just a low level beer league goalie and even I can't stand a glove that doesn't feel just right.
everybody needs to feel confident
Would be great to see a review of an JRZ -Fuzion 2 pads (Made in quebec) and seem to be the best bang for the buck for a *custom set*
Not for me bro
How did you remove the finger thing on the blocker?
I just ripped it out
My favourite pad brand I’ve ever bought. Vaughn, ccm, Brian’s and true always seem like they lag behind in technological advancement. I’d be curious what you think about the hyper light - softer core.
I disagree with Vaughn. Best sliding surface available. Warrior is a solid 2nd
@@alebarajas3045 They may have improved slide surface and leg channel. Although they are still somewhat heavy for a top level pad
Softer would be the way to go for me
What do you feel is “outdated” on the Lefevre gloves that you’d like to see changed?
heavy, thick, look old, no new technology
I went with bauer M5 pro for beer league and i love everything about the pad BUT the stupid strapping lol I took the tune fit off my 2x pros and modified just a tad, perfect now.

I can see why. Ultrasonic blocker can be good but bad
I'm really interested in Hyperlite 2 / 3X(2)? / 4X? next year. But I just also got a serious deal on some Ultrasonics so I went with that for now.
Saving money is always a good plan
Great job. Not a lot to say but I enjoy the review videos.
Long as you enjoy Andreas, thats what matters :)
Is that at east end arena Winnipeg
yes it is :)
I'm with you, 580 is the future
its the only way
Trav i have a question about goalie glovd breaks i have a optik 2 glove can i get that in a 580 break or does ccm and true only do that?
You could talk to Brian’s and see if they can make something similar
@@nathanielcava4128 oh ok thanks
Brians doesnt do a 580
You should have tried the Hyperlite.
Maybe next summer
Keep up the good content love your videos
Love you too buddy ;)
“I may like cats but, I don’t appreciate a thieving cat.”
Great video from the way you described it the mach might be for me
Maybe you'll love!
Why don’t u just get custom bauers you’d love it
I don't have the money for em man
What break is the vaughan epic glove?
Probably at 600 / 75 CATCH

What about Brians? Don't like them?
Had 2 custom sets, never again!
U should try a hyper lite set
I need some $$$ for that
Try the warrior g6.1 glove. 580….ish
thats waht I want
I am thinking of getting them
See ya tomorrow bud
Screw true I’m going with the Mach glove next
Why? You can get a True 580
@@giii7599 nah just love the feel and look of the Mach
Need a bauer 580
I think that most goalies are snobs when it comes to catch gloves. Everybody has their favorite glove. For me it's a Brians sub2 glove. Any other glove and i cant catch anything 😅
580 or nothing man. Thats my mentality
If I ever get my channel monetized, I’ll keep these reviews in mind
Goodoluck buddy
Vaughn the best!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not for me brother
@@trav4oilers Yes, I remember you told me why you didn't like it😏
I respectfully disagree about the blocker. The Bauer Mach has the most open cuff and best mobility of any pro blocker on the market today!
All preference and feel man. Best of luck brother ;)
Great video. 👍
Thank you Andy :)
This is great Trav are you here
yes i am!
Test the hyperlite pads instead
Need to get a set
"I hate 600 gloves"
Forgets that many of videos say that he's solely a 600 guy.
He was a 590 guy before
That was over 2 years ago. The moment i tried 580, i've been a 580 guy since
you need a 'frankenstein pad/set up' guy....
That doesn't pay the bill ssadly
@@trav4oilers ffs i hate when that happens Trav...
Glad I didn't buy this set from ya (strongly considered it), my butterfly is super narrow. Gonna wait for the new hyperlites and if that doesn't tickle my fancy, gonna end up going custom Brian's.
Maybe something else in the future ;)
Great video
Thank you Nolan :)
You might not want to mention you use the bauer university code without working retail. They might black list you lol
I'm honest with all my reviews. I don't work for the big companies. THey try to "black list" me but everytime I find a new way around it
Has anyone else tried the employee pricing that he is talking about i want to do it to save money but don’t want to to look like an idiot if they are just like yeah no nice try
They give it out
