Anybody else care to share?

I've got a custom set of DX2's that I ordered from The Hockey Shop 3 weeks ago. They said Brian's is running around a 10 week delivery.

I've ordered two sets of custom pads from them, and always had a great experience. The customer service is great, and their pricing is good.

I ordered mine from Toronto hockey Repair (Goalie Heaven) on November 13th when I flew to Canada for vacation. (Live in UK). They gave me a great deal on the full set, and the rep at Brian's didn't even charge me the premium for having my name and number stitched onto the equipment either.

The items were delivered to the UK on 19th December. People in the UK usually have to pay at least 15% tax and duty on imports from the US. But because the items came from a shop with "repair" in the title, I wasn't charged anything.

All in all, an amazing experience from those guys, and I have since recommended other people in the UK to the guys at Toronto Hockey Repair.

That is just great when you can save importation fees ! And what was your choice , Beast , Thief or DX2 ? Pictures ??

What ever happened to those playing card pads? Still being used? I would so rock those...

I can't imagine how long all that sewing took.

I did read the review about a Brian's pro return catcher and the guy described the glove with a pro palm since there is the green stuff inside the glove as pictured... can someone confirm that is the case ? the green stuff means pro palm for sure ? I'm not sure if you can see if a Brian's glove does have the pro palm just like that...

The Brian's pro level gloves have some padding in the palm as stock, whereas a "pro palm" simply means this padding is thicker than with stock models. The material is same though.

Can anyone post some good pics of the DX2 blocker sidewall?

Also, can someone help me out with this question.. I had a DX3 blocker for literally one day. I hated it so much that I sent it right back. It was very uncomfortable.

How does the DX2 compare to the DX3 in terms of comfort and fit? I had an Itech7.8 blocker and a 12.8 blocker.. to me there was no comparision. The 12.8 was understandably much more comfortable..I am hoping the same will hold true for the DX2/3.

I think that was my Theif review you read. My Theif was Mike Dunham's practice catcher and has the thickest available Brian's pro palm in it. That is the green stuff.

Indeed but the pic is from my Demon glove. Not sure if this was a stock glove. I did find that the glove was hard to close when brand new. I then did sent the glove back to Ben and he did a new custom T with different placement of the plastic insert in the T as well. The glove became butter smooth right away.

You remember that Sens goalie with Brian's equipements? Do you think this was the first game with his new Razor's and also his last game ever with the team ?

Look well made for a loo level pads but look more durable then the rx9,6k,tps r4,dr,etcc. Only complain the back of the pads are white and i hate this it's will be dirt after a couple games. Knee lock calf wedge calfwing brian air pillow all protection of the dx2 i was really suprise, and 2 knee lif calf wing and wedge in leather. The interior is pretty cheap and 2 quick release strap on the tops but man! it's a sr pads pretty great for the price.

I think you get banned for that? Maybe don't 'advertise' you gear in the forums
