Yeah i know what you mean by it being almost "baggy" in the stomach/chest area i just tighten it as much as possible but yeah it is still "loose" (for lack of a better term?)

I got mine in via UPS today around 6 EST....

I've been playing with it, tightening it, messing with the straps etc.

I agree that It's too loose on the stomach area which allows it to slack down your torso. The velcro strap, while goalie friendly, doesn't do a very good job staying in place if your a bit slender(like me 6'0 175 ) I plan on adding a quick-release strapto the bottom of the C/A to help add stability and keeping it in the right position on my body.

you guys are spot on about the collarbone/clavical protection...that is scary stuff right there....I'm now in the market for for a neck gaurd even though i play with a dangler hanging from my mask. This is a very breathable and moveable C/A, the arms seem "bulky" and a little stiff right now, but I guess that's expected since its out of the box new. I'm pretty excited about this guys...not going to lie.

Here's some pics (They're from a cellphone, sorry for the quality)

In Order; 1) Front Graphic on the C/A 2) Torso of the C/A 3) Padding on the shoulder 4) Elbow Straps 5) Back of the C/A

If anyone has any specific requests for pics i'll see what I can do tomorrow when the florida sunshine is out

[jrfalcons35]

not quite getting it? you mean the velcro doesn't stick anymore to the point where it stays tight or it was just never tight to begin with....if it was never tight go to any convienence store and buy strips of velcro and just put them further towards the center of the C/A, so that it wraps tighter around you....its something that i also plan on doing as well as the quick release nylon strap at the bottom of the C/A

Is this thing bulky? Can you touch your nose/opposite ear easily? I have a battram unit for ice and i wanted something thinner/lighter/flexier/ and more mobile for roller... I have a stocky build and I think the bagginess wont be that big of a problem.

Advice Please, i have tryouts soon and would like to get comfortable asap.

PS. Its the most comfortable and natural feeling c/a (when its not in my face)

wouldnt suspenders help?

i was looking to buy this C/A too. what size should i buy? i'm 5'9", 180 lbs, lean muscular build.

also, how is this as far as size? does it take up a lot of the net?

[bcamp34]

I guess it depends on how you like your C/A....I don't consider mine baggy...I like to wear it tight.

umm....nose to the opposite ear i did easily. the only problem i've had so far is after games when i take my arm out, the inside padding comes out. also because the arms are connected to the chest piece with the breatheable material it's very flimsy(maybe not the best word) up by the top of the shoulders and the arms tend to twist up and become tight...

otherwise no problems, it's a very good C/A. def worth it at 199 on goalie monkey.

btw, i'm 6'1-6'2 on skates and i weigh about 180 and wear a large
