Thanks, I've always wondered about that.

hurry up and order because wait time for gloves is 12 weeks now. i just orderded a t5500 glove all white and a all white v3 blocker. only mods were pro palm and 2 inch deeper pocket.

I was just curious if people have heard of different upcharges for the same mods in different stores... for example $200 for +3 thighrise in Hockey Store A and $100 for a +3 thighrise in Hockey Store B.

This came up in the "Iceberg" thread earlier.

looks thicker?

[Sikamakinico]

looks like the whole pad is just a v1 with v3 graphics and v3 knee wing. Makes sense to me

[rusto33]

i would think V1 thigh rise would mean it is tapered. doesn't look like it in the picture from the front, but you can kind of see on the picture from the back.

It depends on the retailer.

[canaman34]

No, its coming from Vaughn Canada. They will upcharge 200.00 for anything over a +2. Vaughn USA will NOT UPCHARGE if you keep the pad within a 38" total lenth, IE 34+4, 35+3, 36+2, ETC.

thanks

ya but i tried the small in the v3 and it felt too big. probley because im used to epic 800 jr. XL pants

[deuceboy]

Improved, yet the same . The top flap improves armpit hits, yet i find it a little annoying for movement. To me it still doesn't wrap around enough on the ribs. i still prefer my v2 ( custom) with an extra 2 inches of rib protection that i ordered from vaughn. however, to me the v3, like the v2, still offers unsurpassed mobility, rebound control and protection.

I think it is really good. It keeps a lot of the pucks that nip the ribs from hurting. I agree with what that other guy said though, the armpit flabs do get in the way a bit, but other than that the c/a is really well done. I came from an epic where i felt a lot of stingers, to the v3 where i feel virtually none.
