"Official" Vaughn thread.

[njt42]

No I don't have an old set of gear.

[bellness]

damn man , just think the refurb would look so nice.

borrow anyones gear ? if possible.

Or ask you shop how long it would take to get them refurbed

[Curtis2091]

hey this is my Vaughn V2 7070 non pro spec but since its intermediate it works out to be legal, ive been looking for a new glove cause this one wont match with my gear and im thinking the same one but in different colours, i like everything about it except for how it closes, the first picture, the second is how i would like it to close, does anyone know how i can get it like that?

[Curtis2091]

damn i never post on here and i dont know how to post pictures

[Curtis2091]

wait nevermind it did work

[StratosFin]

Njt42, just fix the boot flap yourself. It's not that hard to do.

[njt42]

I cant sew though.

[bellness]

i still think get them refurbed, WHEN you have the time off of hockey, maybe call around tomorrow and find out how many days/weeks/months or however long it takes

I had the same problem with my V2 glove. Luckily I got my new glove and blocker in. But maybe if you heat it up in the oven like you do when you get a new glove you could shape it to how you want it. Or consider ordering a new glove cus that looks beat.

My t5500 is exactly the same as your glove, I think they're made like that. I thought of maybe adding an extra piece of plastic to the flimsy part of the t. But I really don't want to tear apart my trapper so I just have to live with it unless someone has a solution. P.S. I don't really want to bake my glove either.

[shutout_9999]

The short part of the trapper is pushing the edge outward, my t5500 does this, I've been closing my glove and twisting that part ofthe tee outwards, and now it's starting to close like any other trapper.

You are just sewing a patch

Ya thanks im thinking of taking to the hockey shop and seeing if they can bake it for me, im going to order a new one but id still like to fix this one just to see if it can be done because im going to order the same one, i dont think its as beat up as it looks but i just want a new one because of the colours mostly

Hey - first post - I've read almost all of this thread and I finally decided to join. I figured I'd post the set I ordered, so here goes. With any luck the gloves should be in at the end of this week or the beginning of next, and the pads should be in at the end of August. EPIC 8800s.

Pads
-Butterfly strapping
-Tapered calf wedge
-Velcro between knee wedges
-Velcro strap in knee cradle shortened

Stock glove

Blocker
-Diamond grip in palm

Here's my Microsoft Paint version of what they're going to look like. The colors are kind of off and it's all weave:
