Been told "NO" by someone with connections at Vaughn. The only blocker they will make bindingless is the V2 which Toinoven used with V3 design on it.

the epic 8800 is also bindingless and vaughn will do custom graphics for a fee. not sure which graphics they will do, but i got the V2 swirl on mine.

My Epic 8600 pads have no break in the outer roll, but the leg channel is not like an RBK.
I'm not sure about how RBK's are but the Epics are pretty stiff, maybe consider custom Epics with an RBK style leg channel?

I added a picture of the Epic leg channel for good measure.

im not sure about the epic pad, but a v3 pad with no knee breaks sounds like a REALLY stiff pad to me

Thanks , Corey

I've switched from RBK to Vaughn. However it was just the catcher. I loved it, I don't think I'll be switching back anytime soon. Although alot of people say the gloves feel pretty similar, it took me a LONG time to break in the RBK and the Vaughn was pretty much broken in off the shelf and right now I can close it effortlessly (after only 2 ice times with it). I'm ordering the blocker soon. But I don't think I'll switch to Vaughn Leg Pads until next year.

Noob question, but would a bindingless blocker just have the graphics screen-printed on? Wouldn't they flake off?

No everything is the same, the face of the blocker is sewn on inside out to creat the bindingless look. The sew lines are now inside the blocker where they cannot been seen.

Just ordered the new hockey shop v3 blocker with iceberg graphics. Pretty stoked to be honest. Still having trouble deciding on the glove though. I currently have a v3 glove as well, but I am very tempted by the 8800, and the tps R8 is grabbin my attention too

Thanks, I've always wondered about that.
