sounds good, especially with center ice

No mods, just colors. I opted to skip on the pro palm as I didn't get that many stingers with my 5500 and i got about as much as I did in my pro palm p1. Everything hits the pocket in petes gloves anyways

These are going to match y p2s pretty well

Nice glove! When did you order it? Aslo, does anybody here know why Pete will not take off the binding on the cuff of the glove nor the blocker?

If Pete made something like the V3 I would, but I'm sticking with my v3. I liked the 5000 blocker too but the v3 feels better

Thanks for the great/informative posts. Reading how some of you guys were willing to let complete strangers check out your gear speaks volume. I'm in Calgary too and I was tempted to PM you guys to see if I could check them out.

But I've read too many good things so didn't need anymore convincing plus Pete was very accommodating to my questions.

So I guess now I have the painful yet worthwhile wait for my gear.

Cheers,
Leo

Well your lucky, your wait time is at least half of what some of the other members here waited. So what did you order? (Model, Size)

Speaking of wait time, I needed this glove for this saturday, Pete did it in like a week.

Ya ....I guess 4 weeks isn't that long.

I ordered a full set of 5000s. Pete recommended a 32+3. My ATK is 17.5 but I'm only 5'7". Floor to knee measure at 19". A stock 34"usually fits well. So I thought a 32 is kind of short.

But he said he's confident that's the size I need. I got White with Black and Gold trim.
