thanks for the advise. now is that a regular washer machine or one of those machine that cleans sporting equipment. at the rink that i play at they have one of those machines. i was actually going to do it when the season is over which will be this week; this week is playoffs.

if its a regular washer machine that youre talking about then how long does it take for it to dry. or better yet what do you do when you wash your c/a in your washer machine.

thanks again.

Regular household machine. double spin cycle after wash, hang dry for 24 hours. Finished product is just like new from the store only broken in.

Is it possible to thin out the thighrise and shin in battram pads to make them lighter?

[goalieworld35]

hey johnnyone,

do you think the blue soap and blue fabric softner would stain the c/a? if my c/a was black i would care but its white so thats why im asking. thanks again for the suggestion/advise.

if the blue soap you are talking about is for stains, forget it you are long past that. The soap should not tint or stain anything, but using a soap for whites would be best. Just a small amount of soap will do; generally I only use soap once a year, the other times it is just a "rinse". Use gentle cycle also. Do up all buckles and tuck the arms inside the back pad. Best to use a front load machine like at a laundry mat if possible. (My machine at home is front load). It does not beat on the gear like a top loader plus if you break yours (or your parents) they will be pissed; break the one at the laundry mat who cares.

As far as fabric softener goes, this should be no brainer, but let me just say that c/a and fabric softener should never be used in the same sentence or ever associated in the same train of thought. You can figure that out.

Good luck, your c/a will be fine, smell good and hopefully look abit better

Im sure if you asked Scott to do that he could, he would also enlighten you on the Pros and Cons of it as well. Excellent customer service is all i have to say when it comes to Battram, second to none.

I was talking to him Via PM before purchasing my deceptors and he answered all of my questions quickly and promptly along with explinations of anything i was uncertain of.

hey johnnyone,

yeah youre right about the no brainer. but then again with my c/a stiff as heck day after a game. maybe.....?

anyway, thanks again for the info. it was very helpful. i have a toploader at home but if i break it then i will have the wife on my back which is worse than having your parents on your back .

thanks

Mine has regular fingers, but all of the pro versions have the player fingers. The straps on mine are broken.

I realize I'm behind the times with my gear (plenty of goalies with wicked-ass, beautiful gear on this BB), but I love the stuff I've got. Plus, I don't play as frequently as I used to. Just a 32-game beer league season in the winters now.
Here's my pads:


Blocker & trapper:




As a youngster right through to my last season of Midget, I had any combination of tan leather, white or black equipment (granted, it stopped the puck just the same), but it was cool to finally get equipment color-matched to my team's jerseys (Senators-pattern). Don't have any pictures of them, but I'm using Sher-Wood 9950 Kevin Nastiuk pro return lumber, a black 961 with a chrome cat's-eye cage, and a VP5000 C/A (older model, doesn't have the 'Composite Reinforced' sternum plate).
