    Pads - Reebok 9k: Mid-way through my third season with these pads and I love them! Recently had the toe tie on the bottom of one skate break, so I fixed it by using small bungee cords. Played just one game with my pads like that so far, but there does not seem to be any problems so far!

    Skates - CCM Vector 4.0: Have not had a problem with these skates, except for one of the little clips near the top broke, but I fixed that with a piece of heavy duty line (which broke once this year, so I doubled the line up this time ).

    Pants - Reebok 5K pants: They do their job! I only get hit on the inside of my upper leg a few times, other than that I hardly feel any shots. The padding is getting a bit beat up on the front of the pads though.

    Chest Pad - Reebok 6k: So stiff! I've had it for several years now, and it is still stiff! But after a game, or just being on the ice for so long, it starts to loosen up and feels pretty good then.

    Jock - Does its job very well (thankfully!!!)

    Glove - Reebok Revoke Pro Zone: Took a while to break in, but now that it has - I love it! The skate lace pocket works wonders! I find it catches very well, but doesn't smother the puck too well.

    Blocker - Reebok Revoke Pro Zone: Feels great! It's quite light, no problems on durability, all in all it's great!

    Sticks - Reebok 4k ("wood") and Reebok 8k composite sticks: I like the "wood" one more, I find it has a better feel than the composite one.

    Mask - Bauer NME 7 (With certified cat eye cage): I've had no trouble at all with the mask, I find the sight lines to be really good, and the mask is light, overall I really like it!


    Hopefully I will be able to get some pictures to post this weekend

    Mask: Bauer NME9 Fit 3 - For: After looking at the manufactured date of my Itech Profile 9601 dated 2004 (still in excellent condition, no cracks or signs of wear), I decided to get myself the new NME9. Boy does that mask fit nicer and the cushion especially at the top of your head. It slides and fits really comfortably. The back plate is wider and taller (more protection surface area) than my Profile 9601.
    Against: Nothing!

    Cage: Bauer OEM CSA/HECC non-certified replacement cateye - For: Everything! Took out the OEM certified cage and ordered my OEM cateye cause I prefer cateye and unfortunately...I can't buy them legally anymore in Canada so good ol' ebay (seller from michigan) came to my rescue LOL!
    Against: None so far.

    Throat: Bauer NECTECH (Lexan Throat Protector) - For: Everything!
    Against: None so far.

    Neck: Bauer NECTECH (Goalie BIB SR.) - For: Everything!
    Against: Nothing really...only wish they one size larger, cause I don't like wearing them too tight. Right now I place the velcro near the end.

    Chest: Bauer Pro (Medium) - For: Quality, fit, mobility and protection. Finally bought the medium after losing 40lbs (last 7 months) while continuing to wear the large. I was basically swimming in them LOL! Now I can finally tuck into the pants and use the belly tie straps after many, many years or wearing my chesty on the outside. I bumped into ITechWarrior at goalie classes and he was wondering why I needed help just to take off my neck protector. Now that I'm wearing a medium chesty...I can actually move around and make adjustments which includes my neck protector LOL!
    Against: A shot snuck into my side and got slight bruise near my right side rear rib cage area. Never had those before.

    Glove: Supreme One100 Pro "JRZ Made in Canada" - For: Quality, excellent protection, comfortable to wear, good internal velco straps for custom finger (index, middle, fourth and pinkie) tightening and adjustable inside wrist angles, large catching surface and nice light weight.
    Against: None so far.

    Blocker: Supreme One100 Pro"JRZ Made in Canada" - For: Quality, great comfort, great protection and like the other equipment very light.
    Against: None so far

    Jock: Bauer Pro - For: Does the job.
    Against: None so far

    Pants:
    Bauer Pro (Medium) - For: Quality, lightweight, breathable vent ports on the side, comfortability, excellent protection, internal velcro removable knee protectors.
    Against:
    Belt doesn't go tight enough even with my medium size. Tried the small at the hockey shop but was way too tight. Guess losing 40 lbs makes that much of a difference since the internal belt use to be super tight now its at its tightest and have about 1/2" to 3/4" of slack. Oh well, at least I can put my chesty on the inside now LOL.

    Knee Pads: Bauer Pro (Goalie Knee Protector SR.)- For: Does the job.
    Against: Padding under the right side bottom of the knee cap plastic protector is sliding and feels like its rubbing/digging into my knee cap. Once it's tightened and taped...I use some cloth and stuff it in there and once the socks come on, clear hockey tape is securely and tightly fastened above, middle and bottom of the pad to make sure that the cloth doesn't slide out. Mind you...I always tape over my socks to make sure that they don't slide over the knee pads regardless.

    Pads: Bauer Supreme One100 Pro 34+1 "JRZ Made in Canada"- For: Quality, customizable break heights, velcro adjustable knee cradle height/position especially when using goalie knee pads, light weight, easy slide, .
    Against:
    None so far.

    Skates: Bauer Supreme One100 - For: Good protection, wicked fit, nice thickly padded tongue and light weight. Vent ports at the bottom.
    Againsts:
    None so far.

    Sticks: Bauer Supreme One100 (26.5" paddle P 3.4) - For: Excellent durablity, lightweight, rubber hand grip strips and excellent dampening/shock absorption.Ergonomic paddle shape (kinda weird looking) which allows the stick to be held tighter to the body to prevent holes and allows me to have better rebound control.
    Against: None so far.

    Bag: Bauer 3 Wheel Bag - For: Big size, capacity.
    Against: None so far.

    A new toy arrived yesterday. :D

    I got a chance to use it last night, I gotta say I am really liking it. The tie-down buckle in the back is very cool. It felt a little weird at first having it secured but I think I am going to end up really liking it.

    ItechWarrior and dragon4 like this.

    I wonder what percentage of our active users now have Passau equipment.

    Pads - Vaughn V4's - love these pads, ordered them custom with extended calf wrap, single break, all leather straps and no straps above the knee. They rotate great and are extremely comfortable.

    Skates - one100's - always been a bauer guy for skates. wicked light, and very comfortable plus the changeable steel is nice to have.

    Pants - Brians B star - wicked light and comfortable but the protection could be better in some spots.

    Chest Pad - currently a vaughn v3/bauer ultra pro. soon to be replaced by a v5 when it gets here in 5 days. I have had the v3 for 4 years of playing atleast 4 times a week almost year round and it is just now starting to be a little weak. the ultra pro was comfortable and mobile but lacking padding in a few spots

    Jock
    - Brown - not much to say here, does its job well.

    Glove - reebok p3 - best glove i have had in a while. great protection, and closes well.

    Blocker - vaughn v4 - well balanced and comfortable with good protection all around.

    Sticks - Warrior swagger/ sherwood 9950 - both appear to be fairly durable to me. seem to last about a month with 5-8 skates a week.

    Mask - Pro's Choice - wicked comfortable and the protection has been unreal. plus Dom's customer service is amazing. highly recommend them.
