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.

[@irvingfive7955]

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

[@maxwellseeley]

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

[@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).

[@killickhunter2902]

"Dont ask me about 5 hole advice" 😅😅😅

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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@kevinkiraly7113]

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

[@trav4oilers]

You prob aint seeing that video ahah

[@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

[@MrAndyNich]

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.

[@trav4oilers]

Thank you Patrick!

[@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.

[@crewzta]

Love the pads! I went from a G2 to an older Vaughn SLR and love them! Not sure if you feel the same way but I just feel like Vaughn's optically look bigger?

I’ve started really vibing Vaughn gear over the last few years! I might make the switch this year. Question - I’m currently in exflex 3s but finding them just a little to soft.
