Thigh Wraps

[DRE75HABS]

I did all white with red and blue fangs, but I'm not sure if that is doable, so if not, then I'll just do white with blue fangs, blue binding and blue laces. I'm stoked!

Yeah they should still come with the attachment piece. I just went down to the factory in VA Beach and ordered my pads. I got the thigh wraps and Glenn said he was about to design new ones to out on my pads. They are suppose to be a lot more protective then older versions of thigh wraps.

With my thighboards I think they've got caught in my pants maybe 6 times the 4+ years I've had them.

1st person I have ever seen say that!

I have seen every goalie I have ever played against struggle with a thigh board at least once during the game (i.e. having to kick their leg to get it out from under their pants). Also, I have never got hurt w/ the thigh wraps I had, however, they were Itech pro-return pads, so maybe they were really beefed up thigh wraps.

Is there anywhere that you can go to buy pro return gear?

No not really. I mean theres only ebay or this board. But i know goaliemonkey gets some pro returns. Also you can try goalie crease or goalie heaven or even dukes.

I have often wondered why the thighboard system on velocity 1's never caught on...even vaughn stopped using it. I love it!

For those unfamiliar, the thighboard on V1's has no strap of it's own, but is attached to the top pad strap. This allows the user to set exactly how far back you want the board to go, which helps both in keeping the board from having any contact with the knee, but also keeps the board from getting caught in the pants.
The only downside is that if the board is too far forward it is basicaly a thighrise extension and a puck can find it's way behind it in weird situations.
Smith pad used to also have a thighboard restraint system though different from the velo 1.

However...the OP cannot use TB so in this thread it is moot. I just wanted to bring up the advantages of the V1 system.
