I guess it's pretty obvious that I am about to order a new set of Vortek pads and gloves.
It's going to be my Father's Day gift from the wife, so I must be doing some things right.
I'm going to be out of town until Friday evening, so I won't be able to check back on this thread until then. Shortly after that, I hope to place my order with Marc, but perhaps I should also speak with Glenn to see what he thinks of my wish list too.
Please do chime in with your comments, both good and bad.
PADS
P1) ATK is 17.5" to 18" (middle of knee cap & top of knee cap). Would that be a 34" pad? Yes
P2) Either +2.5 or +3 on the thigh rise. (Currently wearing C-10 in 34+2)Yes
P3) All White Weave except White Jenpro accents. Yes
P4) Closed Channel mod. Yes
P5) Channel leg in Nylon instead of Ultima-Dry. I think So
P6) Leather Straps at knees and boot, remainder in Nylon. All White (considering Red). Yes
P7) Soft Boot Break. Yes
P8) Double Knee Break. Yes
P9) Removable Thigh Board. Yes
P10) Softer foam throughout pad to increase flexibility of pad? (I love a flexible pad.) It is not softer foam, it is the way it is finaled.
P11) Sliding Toe Bridge (but I think this is standard). Yes
P12) "Rayzilla" embroidery.
VK5 Glove
G1) All White Weave with White Jenpro accents, and White threading and trim. (Considering some Jenpro in the palm area.)
G2) VK7 graphics. Can't Be Done
G3) Bindingless cuff like on VK7. Not available in the non pro spec
G4) Non-NHL spec (48"). Yes
G5) Cheater bar. Not Available
G6) Deep pocket (I think standard is already deep, but just in case it's not). Not Needed
G7) No metal eyelets throughout the glove (if possible). Not a problem
G8) "Rayzilla" embroidery.
VK5 Blocker Yes
B1) All White Weave with White Jenpro accents, and White threading and trim. Yes
B2) VK7 graphics. Not Available
B3) Stock non-NHL spec. yes
B4) "Rayzilla" embroidery.
I'll edit/update the above wish list as it goes.
Thanks in advance for any input.
