I bought a full Reactor R5 set here in the US, and now I'm begging for a custom set like I could get with the X5! I know they are functionally the same, but the R5 looks so much better, and it uses far fewer stitches on the face of the pads and blocker, giving it a much cleaner finish up close. It's really excellent for half the price of the Hyperlite 2.
not entirely sure what you mean by "replacements" but they are essentially the same as the M5 Pro but with the custom graphic, if that's what you mean. By all means, give Cam a call to confirm.
@@InGoalMediadon't you mean X5 pro. The M5 pro does not have the same outer rolls like this but the X5 does. I saw an R5 pro set in store last night and it looked almost identical to my X5 pros.
Just got myself X5pro blocker, and it is awful! Palm too tight, finger protection awful, just can't put stick there extremely tight. Overall 3 out of 10.
I have the x5pro blocker too and the palm stretched out after a few uses and I don't have any issues with it, and I haven't had and issues with protection for mid level beer league
@@redbeard2952 I mean not the level of the protection is bad, but how it is designed, bad design, too small gap for stick, but maybe it is only on mine
@untone. there's a small piece that is velcroed in that runs along the index finger that I took out and I found that helped. I do remember how tight everything seemed when I first got it but now I don't notice anymore

So are these more like X5 pro or hyperlite 2? Mainly curious about the pads
Yes. They are X5 Pro with a Reactor graphic.
Will Bauer offer these in Full right for the gloves and the blocker?
Are these for sale yet?
What material is on the sliding surfaces? Is it CORtech or is it something else (calf and knee landing)
When will these go out publicly? Needing new pads and these are sick!
call Cam!
I can't find the link to get the custom X5 Pro on the site... Where is it?

How come they don't offer the option to get custom colour on the second price point supreme line ?
not out yet
Hey @InGoalMedia do you all ship to the US? Cause I need these lol
Is the set a „hockeyshop“ exclusive or will these be available everywhere at retail level?
not entirely exclusive but also not available everywhere.
Are these the M5 Pro replacements? My kid has M5 pros and wonder if these replace them?

So what’s the difference between M5 pro and the Reactor other than straps?
Pad stiffness the R5 pro is like the X5 pro which is basically lower end Hyperlite. The M5 pro will be a stiffer pad as it is more like the Mach.
@@corywhitehead83 thank you !!!
CAM YOUR MIC IS A LITTLE HOT THERE! TAKE ABOUT 20% OFF, EH!
and that's after we did :) Need a pro audio guy to drop by and fix Cam for us!
I hoped for the Vapor90 Break :/
If you could get the glove in a Vapor90 my son would be alllllll over these
That is a reactor 4 graphic on the glove, not a reactor 5
It’s an x5 pad tho so I think they just replaced the x with and r
Looks like ball hockey gear .Did some one draw on them?

@@untone.i noticed this when trying on the m5 pro blocker. was hoping it wasn’t the same with the x5
