Trying True 9x3 Pads Mic'ed Up: Impressions and Thoughts After the Skate

3rd Skate in these pads, knees still bothering me a bit but considering it while giving my impressions of them. I speak at length about them after the skate so if you just want to hear what I think about them skip ahead.

It is great to see another full right goalie out there. My son transitioned from a custom set of Bauer Machs to the 9X3. He is 6'3" and 165 lbs. He loves his True Pads. They are light, move great, and the upper thigh is stiff. They do come with Pro Laces, which we love as well. They are stiff and take a couple sessions to break in and get used to. They do not have a skate channel or boot strap so the pad sits higher than a Bauer pad. We have become fans of True moving forward...

thanks for posting. Best of luck this season.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I've only ever had CCM so I wanted to try True. Went with the 7x3s and these might have converted me. Agree on the seal, its pretty phenomenal. Thigh rise stiffness and FRS have taken a bit of an adjustment period but I may have dialed in my strapping this morning, every time I've gone a little looser it's gotten better.

Good to know, yeah after looking how they were sitting on my legs I would have probably loosened them up the next skate.

Love my G6’s, took a few games to break it in but their dials now. Not liking the RX/3 pro+ chesty much. The protection is great but it always needs to be adjusted and it’s too big. The RX/3 pro+ pants are great just wish I got one size smaller.

[@GoalieUnion]

Yeah I went with the non plus chest for those reasons

[@pipeform]

Did the same, based on your review... Will be getting Warrior G6 pro, also all black. @@GoalieUnion

Sorry, commenting on an old video here--what knee pads are you using in this? How'd you like them? Strapping looks more secure than my current setup.

[@GoalieUnion]

Warrior Pro knees, not the Pro+ the regular Pros are more manageable.

[@srStinnky]

oh I wanted to hear a warrior enthusiast on the true pads. but I got to run (not that you care) so I'll watch later.

[@TheRomy31]

I can’t get over how high they sit on you. I’ve always worn my pads resting on the top of my skates

[@wallzy-goaltending]

Instamic gang!

[@curtisrobertson1592]

What's the sizing on each pad?

[@GoalieUnion]

They're 33+2's but I just sold them yesterday.

[@derekracicki431]

still for sale? size?

[@GoalieUnion]

Sold a while ago.
