Equipment: What's Your Current Gear?

[Jarick]

We don't have a thread on this, and come on what's more important than your gear

Thought it'd be fun to have a thread we can bump if we update our stuff, or to talk about new gear.

Right now I'm using:

Helmet - M11 w/ Bauer 9900 cage
Shoulders - Reebok 4k
Elbows - Reebok 7k Pro
Gloves - Warrior Koncept
Pants - Tackla 9000
Shins - Reebok 6k
Skates - Graf G35

Sticks:

Warrior Dynasty Draper 70 flex
TPS Response R2 Nash 65 flex


Picked up a few new things over the weekend for summer league:

Sherwood 9950 shoulders for the hot rinks (summer league is less intense)
Warrior jock (Nut Hut?) was on clearance, needed a new one
CCM U+06 65 flex (feels like 85) with the Ovi Pro curve (just disgusting)

I use the U+06 intermediate sticks too but I prefer my Bauer X:Lites. The red stick is a Tron LE and the white one is some Christian wooden stick I use for ball hockey.

Just picked these bad boys up.

Shoulder pads: 5030
Elbow Pads: Bauer One15 softies
Gloves: Manitoba Moose 852 pro-stocks and TPS R8

Twigs:
Broke all my OPS except for a backup S11
Built 2 new 2 pieces:
Easton 09' ST (only $50!!!) and a Mako M5 blade - but its heavyish
AK27 10 Shaft and a RS Blade - now its balanced

 

[Stickmata]

My gear is a bunch of smelly Graf, Tackla, CCM and Bauer stuff.

 

[ponder]

The good stuff:
Stick - many, but my current #1 is a Bauer TotalOne shaft with a custom Rbk blade (clone of Perron's pro curve)
Skates - Bauer Vapor X40s with Superfeet
Helmet - CCM Vector 10
Elbows - Rbk 7k pro

The cheap stuff that I like anyways:
Pants - Rbk 5k
Gloves - Bauer Vapor XVI
Shoulders - Bauer 2000
Shins - Bauer Vapor X30

 

[Royal Canuck]

Helmet - CCM V10
Gloves - Warrior Luxe (I think)
Sticks - Bauer Totalone / Bauer Vapor APX

All the important stuff right there.

Where'd you get that RBK pro blade?

 

[ponder]

Where'd you get that RBK pro blade?

Bought it off a guy who had a batch made through PSHG. It's a cool curve, really long blade, low lie, crazy rocker, bit of a heel curve, decently open (similar to a Sakic), pretty significant toe kink. By far the best curve I've used for stickhandling (especially any toe-drag type moves), terrific for saucer passes, but so far my shot it is a bit worse than with a Drury or Sakic. The set up is also a bit blade heavy, had to make a weighted end plug for it, and even then the balance is just "meh."

 

[Hacker10]

Helmet - Bauer 4500 with an RBE III Cage
Shoulder pads - alternate between CCM Vector 08's and Bauer Supreme Classics
Elbow pads - CCM Vector 06's
Pants - Eagle PX88's
Shin pads - Bauer Supreme One55's
Skates - Bauer One70's with yellow waxed Graf laces and Superfeet insoles
Gloves - Sher-Wood T90's

Sticks -

Bauer One60, 77 Flex, PM9 curve
Easton Int SE6, 65 Flex, Zetterberg curve
Sher-Wood PMPX9950, marked as 105 Flex; stiff as all hell since I've cut it down, PP9 (Ryan) curve
Sher-Wood PMP5030, Coffey curve

Skates: CCM U+ CL

Does it have that super long hosel like Kovalev's did?

Messing with the Ovi Pro, and being a Sakic user for a year now, I'm loving how the rockered lie is even lower than Sakic, and that toe curve does help grab the puck/ball while stickhandling. But I don't like how the curve is that big or open.

I've been eyeing the Versteeg Pro on the Warrior site. That might be pretty sweet.

 

[hockeymass]

Most of this stuff has been purchased in the last 6 months.

Helmet - Easton E700 with HS22 visor
Shoulders - Bauer Supreme One80
Elbows - Warrior Projekt
Gloves - Eagle X70
Pants - Bauer Vapor X:60
Shins - Reebok 11k
Skates - CCM U+06

Sticks:

Vapor APX 77 Flex P88
Easton EQ50 100 Flex with Vapor X:60 P88 Blade (backup)

I want to get Franchises to replace the Eagle gloves, but the Eagles are really nice and Franchises are absurdly expensive.

 

[Brunomics]

Helmet - Easton S9
Shoulders - Sherwood 5030's(a man's shoulder pads)
Elbows - CCM V2's
Gloves - Reebok 4-rolls

The hosel is a pretty standard length for a non-tapered blade. Perron doesn't actually use a shaft/blade, he uses a 1-piece AFAIK, the blade I have is just a standard blade that's been cloned to have Perron's pattern.

And yeah, I'd like to give the Versteeg pro a try too, that or a P92 lie 5.

 

[SCritical]

I love me some gear talk!

I'm using

- Bauer 2100 helmet combo

- Bauer vapor X20 shoulder pads (don't love it, thinking of upgrading)

-easton s3 elbow pads (hate them, won't stay on!)

- bauer supreme one35 shinpads

- Bauer vapor x15 gloves (when they totally fall apart as they are threatening to do, I want some a little more fitted at the wrist)

- Bauer supreme one40 pants (love them! fit so well!)

-Bauer supreme one40 skates

Sticks are Bauer vapor x15 and easton EQ30, both intermediate. I love the easton but I keep the Bauer for when I play D because it feels sturdier.
