It's so nice and easy now, in 90's when was playing goal, I needed a second person to help with the various leg pad straps and great tip for the double cup, The oversized top cup is a life saver.
I started out with some old set of Boddams and yea those were a pain. Pads really have come a long way! Yeah the double cup is more important than some people might realize
They are! Goalie pants tend to be a bit shorter than player pants, but the big difference is the padding. Goalie pants have thicker pads on the front and inside thigh as well as extra external pads on the front. If you held the two next to each other you would find the goalie pants to be beefier, which makes sense. Hope that helps!
the vest looks kinda bulky, can you touch your ear? I wear a head scarf to help with the sweat (i sweat a lot and the padding in the mask is not enough) and everytime i need to adjust it, its a big trouble with the bulkyness of vapor x2.9 that I have. One.7 allowed for a lot move mobility. But I changed cause the puck cought my elbow a few times in a nasty way that took me out of the game for weeks. Still...the bulky X2.9 is good for protection, but the mobility is a nightmare.
I guess I haven’t really tried to touch my head much with these. I’d agree that mine are on the bulkier side. Battle as old as time between more mobility and less protection vs more protection and less mobility.
All do respect you seem cool and I offer this as friendly advice, either Bick It or a tight buzz. I’ve never seen someone gain 20 years by taking off a hat, you would look good with a tight buzz.
