[993Butterfly]

Arrived a few days ago and I haven't tried them on the ice yet but this set is awsum!!! These are 994 with Matrix 3 gloves. Out of the box the 994 are easy to bend and very flexible. I am amazed! The quality of stitching is very well done not one stitch is out of place. I put the 994's on and tried some carpet hockey without one adjustment these babies closed the five hole no problem. Very flat and the new thigh board takes a bit to get used too but it works really well by protecting the knee. I find these pads very light and the thinning at the top makes the pad very flexible. The adjustments were easy to do. I adjusted the leg channel to my liking and also the knee cradle which took about 20 minutes. I can't believe it was that easy and simple to do. These pads are now customized to me and it all took about 30 minutes to do. WOW!

The Matrix 3 catcher is very light, it can close but I will have to work it a bit to snap shut. Inside the catcher is very comfortable and the adjustments are easy to use and I had my set up in about 5 minutes. I like the deep pocket and I tried shooting a few pucks in the back yard and it felt sweet. Nice grip on the stick as I play the puck often. I also noticed it is vented very well. I can't wait to try it on the ice.

The matrix 3 blocker this is probably the lightest blocker I have ever had. Very thin profile but full of protection IMO. The blocker feels solid for paddle down protection and is comfortable.
few adjustments are required but they are there if you need them. This blocker is just sweet.
