One of the things I envy the most about not living in Canada 🍁 is the possibility to visit not just the fabric of the different goalie gear brands that work in Canada but to go to pro shops and try all the different brands. I can just rely on the review videos and what I can see 😢
Thanks for the work on this video! Just a tip, that microphone you're holding is meant to be clipped to your shirt near the chest to capture your voice. It must be annoying to be holding it while having a conversation
Yes, it's a lapel mic, but I only have two mics and there were three of us in the video, so I had to hold mine to share with Connor. You can see that Jay has the other one on his shirt. Not idea, but it worked okay. Thank you though.
I would check to see if you got the right size... the vaughns for this year seem to size bigger than in the past... I used to wear 35+2 vaughns and i just ordered a set of v10's, but this year i changed to 34+2.
@rickyveebee1846 it's possible. I'm in 34". I wanted to go shorter, but EVERYTHING said at my height, knee-to-floor, ankle-to-knee; I should be in 34" When I'm standing, it's exactly at my knee, and when I drop, my knee lands right on the landing. It's when I push side-side, my pad slips up my leg. Almost like the pads need a bootstrap...
@@goalietraining a bit. I found that if I wrap the ankle strap tighter, it helps, but I think I've solved it. I attach the knee landing strap to my knee guard, and it doesn't ride up at all.
They've come a long way with their pads, I am liking the look of these new SLr4s. However Vaughn is notorious for the velcro not sticking after being used. Anyone know if Vaughn has changed their velcro or they still using the same stuff they've been using for years?
I hope they've improved the velcro! That's been my main issue with both v9 sets I have. I often need to re-strap my velcro at the whistles. Was disappointed to see them adding even more velcro. I really like the previous magnetic closure for the RRC strap.

Also I added a sort of ankle strap on my Bauer Vapors, which I love (again I don’t have much area of comparison) I’ve never had Vaughn gear. 😅
It is pretty cool to go in and see all the gear in one place.

@@goalietraining makes sense! Still sounds great 😃
@@CityStomperMedia Thank you!
Love my SLR3’s! Curious to see the fit difference on the 4’s, I’m hearing going down a size from the 3’s is the move?
Not sure how the sizing compares, I would reach out to Jay and see what he suggests.
They slide so fast.
One problem I have is the pad rides up when I'm in the butterfly, and my knee moves down off the landing. Tips?
Hmmm… not sure how to fix that. Hopefully someone will be able to chime in.

@@michaelwoodall7922 Does it help if you make the inner calf wrap a little tighter?

Agreed, I feel they’ve made their pads a lot lighter. Not sure on the Velcro.

how do you not mention if these are stiffer then the 10s or the SLR 3!!!
and you just did... so thanks!
