Vaughn V3 sizing question----help please

[bruinsfan19]

My floor to mid knee measurement is 20" on the dot. What size of V3 would I fit? I have 35" RBK PSII's right now and they are a little big, not by much though, I'd say they're like a half inch or an inch too tall at the knee cradle. I wear size 9.5 RBK 9K skates if that maters.

so with 35 or 36 v3's. if you like your pads a bit tall go 36 , if u like ur pads a bit small go 35.

[bruinsfan19]

so RBK PSII's and Vaughn V3's have identical sizing? like a Vaughn 35=RBK 35?

RBK 36 - vaughn 38


my friend is in a 37+1 vaughn v3 and he had a 36 rbk before i think. so he retunred them and he got the v3 37+1


he said if he kept his rbks he would have needed like a 34+3.5 or something.


people have told me RBK pads are 1 inch bigger, than some people tell me 2 so i dont know wut to believe

If you order custom sized pads then this would be an afterthought.

Stop making sense!

vaughn pads would probably shrink a bit after the use

Your above comment is like saying "The world will probably explode tomorrow."

Why would you post this if you're just speculating? You're not contributing to the board in a positive manner.

I've had my V3s for a while now and they have not shrunken down at all. If you search around the board a bit, there are people with the opposite experience... because of the shredded foam injected into the V3s, they do have a tendency to break down over time where as the RBKs are made of high density foam and tend to keep their shape.

If you're going to bother answering the OP, at least give him some proper info.

Geez.

FYI... I fit well in 35" PSII's, and fit perfectly in 36" Velo 2's, with an A2K of 18.5.
