Vaughn makes the best chest protector - no question. I have always used Vaughn gloves. Last year switched to the warrior glove. My issue with the Vaughn glove is the large thumb and the pocket transition - had way more pop-outs on glove saves with the Vaughn. The Vaughn glove is also heavier than the warrior which makes a difference. I am the goalie coordinator for an association. We have had issues with the magnetic buckles on the Vaughn leg pads. Either they break or start spinning which leads to them coming undone. I hope they fixed this on the V9's. Also, the toe elastic system on the Vaughn pads is garbage.

[@nathanielcava4128]

Agreed on the chest piece have worn ever version of the vision/Ventus chest piece. Currently on slr2 pro carbon. Only pads I ever liked were the v6s without the knee rolls. Otherwise not a vaugh guy

[@wild331_]

Ever since I've started watching you, I've noticed you have started to become more in control when making a save, you don't flop around as much as you used to, you don't dive for every save across the crease, it's awesome to see the development you've made. Cheers to you Trav.

[@trav4oilers]

Trying to become one total package in doing so

About time that you got in some Vaughn equipment. I've been using Vaughn for over 30 years, never had a problem.

[@bfish9700]

I Love vaughn pads. I demoed the SLR's before I bought my passau's, kinda wish I'd waited and got SLR2's because theyre virtually perfect for me (besides the graphic being boring. Their RRC is just perfect, really does what it's supposed to, super comfortable. I loved how my warriors felt but I wanted a bit taller, more curved pad (I had the GT's).

[@kevinkiraly7113]

@trav4oilers it appears these seal up your butterfly/5 hole way better than the G4s man. Thoughts?

[@trav4oilers]

They’re also bigger, I’d say similar coverage

My custom V9 gear is coming mid May :( massive improvements on the chesty. ve8 carbon is a great unit but they fixed some issues and v9 might take a run as one of the top units.

[@bigsteed007]

Nice setup Trav!! Got me wanting to look into some Vaughn gear!!

[@mitchellman32]

So happy this video is a thing. My 1S Pads have served me well, but this year I think is the year for a new set and I'm split between the unreleased Ultrasonics and the successor to the Vaughn VE8's... Which I guess are the V9's you have! I'm completely torn.

Loving the vids lately trav great motivation for me in my life

[@loziss2262]

Is there any NHL goalie you don’t like and why?

Looks great. Never was a fan of Vaughn. But the V9S are changing my mind. But I cant stand all white pads other then that they look great

[@RadioControlAdventures]

Hey trav thanks for taking us through the Vaughn factory I'm from London and didn't even think they did anything there. Also I bought a set of used Vaughn pads I like then a lot.

[@williamburke9416]

omg the lack of bend in those pads irks me sooo bad lol, but that is a beautiful set up!!

[@josephcluney1238]

wow that gear looks so clean and sharp

[@Jbird8198]

What up Trav! I've been watching your videos for some time now and love them. I was also in your seat with the attempt to play pro hockey. I played low level junior hockey in the US and had a couple of pro tryouts but never made a team. I had a small scholarship to play ACHA Div.1 hockey and walked away from it. What a dumb decision. Good to hear you are going to play college hockey. Love your channel and Vaughn gear rocks!

[@m____w____6981]

My kid switched from CCM to Vaughn V9. It was a great change. The V9s slide so much better. A comfortable, fast, very well-made pad.

Do you feel bigger in the gear being white? I have some New Kohos that are listed at 36 plus 2 and there 3 inches taller than my old Crawford Reebok Xlt pads that also 36 plys 2 and there all made at same place lol. I love how new gear gives you like new life. Only thing about the white jenpro material on back side is it yellows and looks gross after awhile.

I feel massive in the white gear.

[@matts6528]

the five hole answer was great.. LMFAO... BTW love the new set up.

[@brentwoods7450]

Trav, I noticed you're not wearing the RRC strap in both the videos. You can remove the RRC strap and buckle on the V9s pretty easily

[@trav4oilers]

Already cut it off

[@chrisnurnberg9599]

Now you have pads just like Jack Campbell. Think he had the white and silver when he played in LA. Looks great Trav! Hear you may a trip coming up with Steve. I hope to see some videos of what you guys do. Should come to Port Huron and look into a Warwick helmet as well! Keep up the good work.

Hey trav also got some ice time to my self cuz no one showed up for shinny so I practiced my butterfly slides. I just started playing this year so I had alot to work on. But it was good to actually focus on something to get better. And your video of you practising inspired me but I didn't do my practised.

[@jonmoore2855]

Hey Trav, I’ve been watching your vids for a while now... you never give free stuff away 😂. Keep up the good work man. My sons an atoms aged goalie and me not knowing much about being a tender have learned a ton about the position from you.

Done 4-5 giveaways since July 👨‍⚕️

[@jonmoore2855]

trav4oilers I’ll be watching for the next one!

[@deedee33711]

Wow the seal and perfect rotation on those pads! They don’t look like they want to over or under rotate ever, like when you would push to slide in the warriors you would under rotate a lot and the pas would angle down towards the ice even when they were new, with these i know they’re still fresh out the box stiffness but they look so square when you push to slide and stay so flat on the ice! 👌 oooo those are gorgeous!

[@trav4oilers]

They are very very boxy

Trav what do you think of leferve equipment and would you ever consider getting them???

[@trav4oilers]

Haha :)

[@DavidFaxon]

Hey Trav great video thanks for sharing. Seeing you in all white pads is a big change and I have to say it looks good! I have two questions. It looks like you ditched the boot strap? Beginning of the video you had it on the back of your skate and then I didn't see it on ice. Is that the move - no boot strap? I know some goalies have been going that way. Also, how do you keep your knee pads up? I tie my warrior knee pads to my pants but because of that I can't wear socks. I think eventually the rough knee pads will tear through my vaughn slr2's unless I get some socks on those bad boys. I couldn't find any other way to keep my knee pads from sliding down.

[@trav4oilers]

Tried the boot strap and wasn't a fan. Got rid of it. I just let my knee pads be, no tape or anything.

[@trentfindlay7842]

I’ll be looking forward to seeing more feedback from you on the v9’s! I hope you also do a bit of a comparison video I was going to go with Vaughn but the pro deal sucked but I’m extremely happy with my g4 pros thanks to you

[@cb1978ish]

Every piece of Vaughn gear I've owned has lasted forever. Something to be said about the quality in Canadian/American made goalie products, which I don't see in the majority of offshore made brands

[@tendy2443]

Dude u and ur dad look so alike. And how was ur Vaughn’s for the first couple ice times. Would u recommend them for a Philipp Grubauer style kind of goalie

Love the channel, always look forward to new videos. My son is 12 and he just started playing and decided on goal. He was able to make the entry level rep team in the city and is doing well. My question for you is how can he transfer his great practices into games? He also has a problem with pucks going through him. Thanks

Looking back on this as compared to the True vids, your movement, butterfly squaring and recoveries make me wonder why you didn't stick with these.

[@trav4oilers]

Funny a lot of people say that.They def look bigger, squarer but I felt they hindered my movement so much, too big and so heavy. The feel of stopping pucks was awesome but theyre a v2 pad stuck in 2021

Steve is the reason the Vaughn’s and this video happened. As far as “freebies” goes I think you’d be suprised how many freebies I do and Don’t get sometimes,

How do those pads slide compared to the G4’s new vs new ? How do pucks feel vs the G4’s also ? You were trying on a chesty at the factory, did you get a new chesty too ?

Drop the pasta maybe to help the joints, get some omega 3’s in you, collagen, check out Dr. Paul Saladino on YT. Maria won’t like it, but might be worth a look. Oh!
