Inline Goalie Gear

I used Tour redline 5000 skates and they were great, I ordered them from an online store in California and used the sizing guide they provided, when i was talking to the guy he said if they dont fit send them back for another size up or down and they will ship back for free. When they arrived I tried them on and the fit was great and they were pretty comfy with good protection. The other gear they sell I have no idea about but the skates were great and cost effective.

I will 2nd the comment about tour skates. Had a pair of player skates I bought maybe 8-ish years ago, liked everything about them. Just picked up the tour code carbon gx goal skates, havent used them yet but the fit and finish is great.

As for gear, never used anything but their skates. If for inline only, im sure they'll work great, but the parts i've seen and felt, i'd never use for ice. To be fair, I dont recall which line-ups i've seen, so maybe their stuff marketed for ice is better then what I saw.

I've used Tour gear before. I was a roller goalie for all of my youth. Just switched to ice (and learned to play butterfly) upon moving to the Northeast.

I've used their skates when I played defense. Not too bad.

I used their leg pads when I played goalie. At the time, I thought they were fine. Great, in fact, but playing roller in Virginia limited my exposure to different brands and degrees of quality. They performed well enough. I was considered a decent goalie, but they were not designed for butterfly. I was playing late-70s-style (and without any formal training, I was just trying to stop pucks).

I can say from experience that unless you get a high grade pad from them, you'll do just fine for roller, but don't expect a pad built for butterfly. They'll hold up decently on sport court, but not excellently. The ones I had did not break down very quickly, so the rebounds were long.
They're not great, but they'll get you started.

Also, I'm getting ready to upgrade my pads, and looking to unload a set of RBK PIs wht, blk, red. The actual size isn't on them, but I'm 5'11" and they fit fine. Puck marks only. PM me if interested.

Thanks guys , Will be placing an order for some Carbon X or redline 5000 sometime next week . Pads and the rest can wait I think until after a little while , Might be able to source some better options or actually spend time researching what would be better for me on the skate rink. Still love those Vaughns though.

When I get out of work i'll have a picture review of the carbon gx's. Haven't skated on them yet (michigan, weather not helping) so I can only speak of their build quality, how well they feel on my feet and skate in my living room. But, I took some comparison pics of them with my ice goal skates. At any rate, it'll give you a much better look at them then the stock online pics.

Be up a little over 12 hours from now.

FYI, code carbon gx pics w/mini review is up in the reviews section.

Ive used a tour blocker before on ice, if its good there its good on roller

When it comes to roller I swear by Mission. Their fairly new goalie skate is awesome and Mission makes excellent roller goalie gear. Actually Mission pads/blocker/catcher was the first set of goalie gear I bought. I loved it, super light with fabric landing gear on the pads so sliding on sport court was super easy.
