Correct - the 5000 is only available in the current NHL sizing, and the graphic is not available on the other gloves or pads.

Thanks for the reply.

Just sent an email to Pete, probably gonna order next weekend. Here's the colors I'm gonna go with:

Pads- http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/4...tompadsvi9.jpg

Glove- http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/2...omgloveqj7.jpg

Blocker- http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/7...blockerio9.jpg

What do you guys think?

Too much weave (but that's just me ) The colours are sweet. I like mostly silver pads because it's not very popular.

I was thinking about only using the silver weave and the red/black jenpro...might do that. Thanks for the suggestion.

BTW- your pads look great.

Snova...try all jenpro and the black only as weave. Just a thought...

I want the silver weave, I want that steel look.

Is this a R8 style strapping or is it just sitting this way?

[snova031]

Pete said he can do the 5000 graphics on another set of gloves for a small upcharge. Gonna go with the 4000 glove/blocker w/ 5000 graphics.

Going to put in my order either Saturday or Monday.

[Scipio]

Yeah it's the tri-clip like the R-8 pads have. I see no point in having the center calf strap so I removed it and put those on there.

I have a question i already put in my order for smittys but i have the other side set up not the conventional. If i try to achive the Y strapping set up as scipio will that work? or if i want to do that should i go with the conventional side? Also where do you buiy the tri clips?

1" Split Release Buckles

Sorry about not clarifying that i ordered the smith side panel for sealing up the post. What i wanted to know to achive the Y strapping should i order the conventional side panel? I had an idea which i will present to pete tomorrow but would you suggest to just go with the convention side or keep the smith style panel and still be able to use y strapping? Sorry if its not clear but what i think sometimes doesnt go down the right way when i type lol.

Edit: When you purchase the clips from the website do you get a pair or just one?

They are priced for one of each each complete clip. If you need two, order two (or three or four so you have spares - not that I've needed a spare, but you never know)
