Would love to see a what’s in the bag player video when you get the chance. Love your videos especially the skate fitting video I sized down and have never felt better
Im stuck between warrior, ccm,true,bauer 600 break glove. If you were to rank them with what you would pick 1-4 with protection being most important and closure second . Thanks a bunch !!
Are you willing to go Pro or Practice palm? Practice palms will obviously be most protective there. In my experience, True Pro palms are better than the other brands. My Warrior game ready feels like my Bauer Pro palms do.
I really only break in gloves now by using them. But this is the method I use if I have issues with closure: th-cam.com/video/-cQg1NZuwEY/w-d-xo.html You don't have to crush the foams on the True 600 gloves that I have seen though.
Well Rey helmets:) Its used by the most pro goalies in Czechia. I have also rey and its really good. But honestly its much better when you do everything custom in Prague by yourself.... You can choose different foams inside, cages, back plate and more. If you take normal order its bit risky honestly. For example I had that basic 10mm foam and I had concassion..... But when I did everything custom in Prague its just perfect. They dont use memoranble foam because of sweat so thats maybe even better. I guess its better to go with Wall since you can't get into Prague. But Iam able to give you contact at guy from rey which is doing helmets and you can talk with him(but again I have full custom rey and its just perfect)
@@HockeyReviews I can talk or ask about something if you need. And btw I tried both shadow and CCM pro spec chests on ice. They are both really amazing each has some pros and cons. I told guys to shot me after I streched my hands anywhere and result is: stomache is shit on shadow and hands from sides and down are not that good but still solid biceps zero issues. And CCM doesnt look that wide in shoulder area And ONLY issues was bit worse mobility And upper arm I got one shot to that 2cm Gap and damnnnn thats a pain.
I've tried both. I was coming from a Mach chesty. I purchased the ccm pro, played a game, got one in a different size, purchased an SLR4, and then got a custom beefed Shadow. The CCM and Shadow were/are terrible. The CCM Pro one was very uncomfortable to the point where it felt like someone was sticking a knife into my arm pit. The lack of adjust ability because of the pro-spec stuff also wasn't great. I could never get it to really fit my shoulders and fit the body the way I like (I tried both a fit2 and fit3). I ended up getting a custom shadow with beefed shoulders and arms. I like the mobility and adjust ability more, but it still really uncomfortable in the arms for the same reason as the CCM Pro. Plus, I would have liked the option to beef up the heart guard and the belly portion. If I could do it all again I would have just gotten a custom SLR4. My issue with the SLR4 stock was that the arm pad kept digging into my forearm causing bruising. I talked to a rep who offered to help me out with this (when I was exploring going custom), and I wish I had taken that route. The SLR4 was really adjustable, more comfortable around the arms, and the rep said I could beef up any part of the chest I wanted (so belly, heart, shoulders, arms, etc.). I still might go that route, if I can make enough back on selling my shadow.
@@Lazyworker123 well. I dont have any problems with arm digging or whatever at all. I just need the best protection as possible and wear it at least 2-5seasons. Problem with Mach I had was shoulder protection and that gap close to elbow for that mechanism. Seems like Bauer solved shoulder protection but Iam scared of those mechanical arms.... CCM on other hand has problem with top bicep as it was on review here before. (What level of hockey are you playing man. I was taking slap shots from Guy which played shl to stomache And no issues even with Mach)
I’ll be real, I wear ft6 pro custom skates and I had the carbon super feet in them and I hated them, they killed my feet after 10 minutes and I had them fit correctly to my arch not size. I ended up putting the stock CCM insoles back in and they feel like slippers again, I can wear them all day.
SuperFeet are often a love/hate type thing. But I have seen quite a few cases where people HATED them for a few skates because their arch and foot had to adjust to the different support.

I recently got my px3 set. I love them. Im glad that I made the switch to true. However if i get a second set. Im liking the slr 4 or hzrdous px4s.
So what's the best way to break in a True glove?
I really only break in gloves now by using them. But this is the method I use if I have issues with closure: th-cam.com/video/-cQg1NZuwEY/w-d-xo.html

@@HockeyReviews Awesome. Thanks!
Do a Pros Choice helmet. Expensive but would love to hear your thoughts on one of those.
Unfortunately, I could buy 2 masks of different brands for the price of them...
Royal blue?
I had them next to Montreal and Leafs gear and the blue was slightly different. So not sure what it exactly is.
Well Rey helmets:) Its used by the most pro goalies in Czechia. I have also rey and its really good. But honestly its much better when you do everything custom in Prague by yourself....

I reached out to Rey recently but unfortunately haven't heard anything back :(
@HockeyReviews Try instgram or website contacts
Did Instagram and through their web contact. They have a sale on so will probably go with them if they ever get back to me!

Eflex 7
I can not decide beetwen two chest protectors: shadow, ccm pro. Can anyone help me with that? :)
If it is the CCM from this video: th-cam.com/video/Ctu4y_0hlZw/w-d-xo.html
Easily go with the CCM
