Go on his website, there are 3 available models for both glove and blocker- SC1000/2000/4000 and SB1000/2000/4000

The 4000 glove and blocker are in the customizer, not on the actual product page.

Looking good! I like the black and white, very classy. How did you like them the first time out? I just got my 3000's today, hopefully I'll be able to sneak away from work for lunchtime drop-in tomorrow to start accumulating some puck marks.

All in all, I am very happy with them.

The catcher fits snugly, contrasted to my former Rbk glove which overly large on my hand. It also hinges much more easily. The blocker also fits fine.

I like the pads better than my former Vaughn Velo 2s. The differences are small but significant. The Smith does not have the calf support wedge, and that allows my leg to angle more naturally to the ice, so I felt much more comfortable in the butterfly position. I got 2" of thigh rise, and it helps me close up the 5-hole better (although still not completely) but does not detract from mobility.

I placed my order on or around June 22 and haven't received anything going into 17 weeks. I'm pretty dissappointed

[BKLYNNetminder]

Well, you should be getting something in around 2 weeks. It seems as though 19 weeks is the wait time now. Having seen Pete's work in person, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

[goalie4hire]

Yeah, my order went to 19 weeks and I think Admanimal is at 19 weeks also. The wait is definitely worth it though.

18 weeks, 5 days and counting...

[laandrew]

according to my note book i have 10 weeks
i still cant make up my mind about the 5 or the 4000

[Carnivale]

A few pics of my new SP3000's. Obviously not as exciting as some of the other gear here since they're plain white. For those counting down, my wait time was 19 weeks and 4 days, I ordered June 9 and recieved the pads today.

Carnivale, did you ask for medial rolls as a mod? My SP3000s came without them (which is good, because I hate medial rolls).



I've had these for around ten months now, and after some inital trouble adjusting to them, they're absolutely fantastic. I couldn't be any happier.

No I didn't ask for them, Pete seems to be putting medial roles on the SP3000's as a standard feature now. The last pair that someone posted had the medial roles as well. I'm pretty indifferent, wouldn't have cared either way. Although maybe they look a bit less...um...jet puffed without the medial roles .

I'm assuming the pic above is from when they were new, or that you've been cleaning them pretty regularly. Frankly, I can't wait to get some puck marks on them. I love all white gear, but with no puck marks it looks kind of strange to me.

Yeah, that pic was on box-opening day. I've cleaned them once since then, about two months ago, and quite frankly I regret it. I have pics from when they were two weeks old and then three months old, and when I look at the pics and see nice puck marks that aren't there any more, it makes me sad.

Here's my Smith's. They're the old SP3000's but with a square roll. They're about two years old now and getting pretty beat. Great pads.
