Got this for my birthday a week ago from my lovely wife. I guess leaving the name, model and size on the back of a card from the hockey store randomly around the house worked out like I thought it would

It's very comfortable and yes the arms as previously stated are a bit long. They sit sort of right above my wrist. Not long enough to mess with my gloves but about an inch longer then I'd like them. Going to mess with the back and shoulder strapping to see if I can't lift the arms a bit more. It's pretty broken in out of the box but I want it to break the rest of the way in as soon as possible. It just doesn't feel "right" yet. That's probably mainly attributed to me wearing an extremely form fitting and crappy C/A...the Itech prodigy 4.8. That C/A is wickedly comfortable.......until a hard wrist shot winds you ;[. This C/A is so much larger(in the same size) that I actually had to go up a Jersey size..from 56G to 58G. Yet it really doesn't feel that much more bulky. There is no doubt in my mind that once this breaks the rest of the way in it will be extraordinarily comfortable to wear. It's better brand new then the Itech was, and after a few more ice times it is likely to surpass the itech in it's current broken in state.
