Brian's Dx2 Pro C/A?

I've tried searching for some info on this C/A but I'm having a hard time find any. So if anyone has any experience at all with the Dx2 Pro C/A could you please share? I've been looking for a bombpoof C/A that is still somewhat mobile and not overly bulky. I pretty much had it narrowed down to a V3 C/A but I really like the look of the Dx2 Pro and have been putting off ordering the V3 until I can find out more info about the Dx2 Pro. So how would they compare? How is the protection on the Dx2 Pro? Mobililty? I don't mind a little bulk as long as the protection is rock solid, but less is better. So what do you guys think? Would the Dx2 Pro suit me or would I be better off with the V3?

My goalie partner just received his and he is in love with it. He has ordered a couple c/a's in the past year and this is the first one he actually used. If you order direct you can get whatever you would like done to it. Even if you buy stock it still gives you options to change/adjust where the padding sits and protects. It looks lightweight yet very protective. I am also considering getting one now.

my favorite thing on the DX2 pro is the arms. they've had to be squared up on the elbow covers and a bit slimmer for the new rules, but they are dynamite. I have been using it since new years or so I think, never been happier.

So how is the protection, mobility, and bulk of the Dx2 Pro compared to the V3? I noticed you guys sell both so you should know lots about both of them.

How big are the shoulders? Are they P2 like or more slimmed down? (Crosses fingers for P2 like)

I just like this one a bit better in terms of how it feels one me over the V3, but the V3 is my second choice. protection is comparable, both are beefy and have big arms/shoulders but neither is overly bulky as long as you're wearing the right size.

The Thief is meant to be a slimmer fit, a bit more along the lines of less bulk more mobility. I don't think this is really all that small in comparison and I don't think the DX2 is more bulk than needed. I think its the same way I describe the V3 and the Epic, both are rock solid, pro quality, just different. I would go DX2 over Thief.

All that stuff is measured for rules, so other than a bit here or there they're all coming in about the same size. The P2 from last year(black and green) in my opinion is the worst "pro" chest arm on the market I haven't ever had so many problems with fitting guys either in the store or people on-line who buy based on a guideline but just can't get it to work.
