Itech GP900

Anyone know much about this gear??? it will only be used for inline hockey. Worth the money??? i found them for a good price at inlinewarehouse.com

What are the pro's and con's of the gear?

[VAgoalie]

Dont know anything about them. But they look extremly cheap and I doubt they will provide godd protection. Hell it looks like they only have 3 straps on the back of the pads.

If you are playing against someone with any type of skill I would say to stay away from them.

As far as I know, they're street hockey pads. They might be suitable for inline, and I suppose there might be enough padding to keep you from getting stung, but they certainly don't have any of the performance features of even a lower end roller-specific pad.

hey over here hey

i have these pads sat in my basement they are ok at best playing inder12s roller i could feel shots sort off a stinger and they do fall appart quite fast do not buy these pads

[steduval1985]

I began playing in those at age 11 and they would twist and turn all over my legs, my knees would hurt from the lack of protection they had, do like the others have told you, dont buy them!!!

[moose]

is it just me that thinks when you start out even the ****sist pads seem good lol

[McTrout!]

Its not just you my friend! My favorite paid of pads remain my Cooper Street Reactor Belfour pads and gloves. Played for a few years in those even against Under 18s when i was 13 and only got one injury. They were crappy but i loved em

[moose]

yea but you sorta had a gd team when i wore these i played for team blackhawks lol minimum 70+ shot games lol thoses were the days lol

[canadian_5001]

I have em, I play houseleauge roller/ball hockey in them Ive had mine for 3 years now.

There literaly a HUGE sopnge they have a little knee flap and a calf flap.

They rotate well, and slide well if your on a concrete surface.

Make sure you wear some rollerblade knee pads if you get em.

and learn to sew if you play woth them on the street.

any other questions ask.

Aussie do not get those pads.........I had them and you could have felt a stinger if a 10 year old slipped fell stuck out his toungue to hit the puck and it slide 300 meters (converted for you) to hit your leg..........

If you want semi good pads for a low price I have some 33" glen miller icebreakers that I no longer use now that I have my battrams. could be yours for almost nothing as they are just sitting in my closet. Hell if you want my old itech 900s they can be yours too.............I will use them as padding for the icebreakers in the box.....ha ha

Hmm ok i won't be getting those, thank's for the head's up!!

I love the look of the Heaton roller series of gear, but hockeymonkey.com want $256 aud just for the shipping!!!!!

Yup those are the pads.

Yeah $256 which is about $185usd, so yeah im hoping i can find an alternate way to get them here.

If you have a friend in the US have them shipped to him, then have your friend send it to you.

I dont know for sure if it will be cheaper, but it might be.
