most nhl or pro advancing goalies have two trappers.. why because they tear up when cranked tight or really broken in to catch... What I mean by broken in to catch is some goalies don't break their traps in they rather use them as a second blocker now...(examples: hasek, lundqist) these trappers won't tear up as fast because of all the exrta plastic keeping it from closing... Those nhl goalies like cujo, khabby etc... have their traps made with less padding, stitching in areas.. this makes the gloves broken in right off the bat... however not really durable, and wear fast, but the backup will be ready on the spot (unless you're carey price haha

) I personally have two traps just incase the other tears up but I doubt it will..
