Bauer: Shipping policy& Vapor pads mod?

[doood]

hi everyone... I have a big equipment problem:

1) I need NHL legal pads

2) I want heavy modified bauer vapors :
- 34" + 1" sized
- Pro pitch (no 8 degree performance pitch)
- HD115 throughout entire spin of pad
- Thinned out entire side profile of pad (outside gusset & boot)
- larger/squarer knee wing (add 1.5" to top of knee wing pattern)
- moved inside knee cradle flap & build up 1" closer to knee wing

3) "due to Bauer's no cross-country shipping policies , we would not be able to help you purchase this or any new Bauer products. Bauer allows us to sell and ship within Canada only. Essentially you would have to find a supplier in Europe if not in France. "

4) pads in Europe a waaaaaaaay to expensive (around 3000$ !!!!!)

5) Therefore I have to find which pads who will work for me...

6) I want Pads:
- that I can "feel" (I like to wear my vapors thight),
- with a hard rebound
- not too stiff/not too soft
- with a very little sliding surface (ice is bad in France, a small surface helps for sliding speed)

7) I thought about a pair of fusions
- with the "esche break"
- in Medium+1"
- I think you can wear them a little thighter, am I wrong???

any suggestions???

Seems obvious. Prepare your detailed specs. Get a friend in North America to buy the pads for you. Have the friend ship them to France.

I have nhl legal, pads, custom made, they are miklin's. (russian) paid 840€ for pads and gloves.
good enough for my game, but if i played on a higher level like i used to i probable went with one of the names that often are seen here, being, battram, smith, eagle and many more. send them a mail. word is that they are very good to work with even if your from europe. (i'm in Belgium)
I know Koen vrindts on this board has battrams and Zwip1 has eagles. both from belgium.

if you need some more people from around the area.

cheers, Pun.

Fusions may be more stiff than you're prepared for.
