Thanks for completing the review of the SLR4 line. I think Vaughn made solid improvements on the pads, specially on the stiffness like you mentionned. Getting my custom set in September hopefully !
Definitely not the only person complaining about the knee block and painful knees. I picked up some SLR3 pro carbon pads to try out. Coming from Optik2s I could skate in 3 days in a row, no problem with my CCM KP Pro knee pads. With the SLR3s though, I feel like I have to ice my knees after each skate. Love pretty much everything else about the pads though.
@@HockeyReviews this is the way. I’ve tried volleyball pads and such and hated the way it felt. Much prefer just straight knee pads onto the knee block.
I just did the Tendyfest demo day and this was my favourite pad I tried. Sliding is unmatched. I have Ultrasonics now and while the SLR4 it feels like it is a bit more maneuverable as well. I did like the G7’s as well but I found the knee blocks to be a bit too thick for my liking
I think the best is a mix of both worlds, stiff AND curved pads. At the moment rocking the Brian’s iconik that I got stiffed up and not complaining. But you can also get stiffed up hyperlites2 they are pretty curved and light
