Pricey, but a good buy

I'm not sure that any stick is "worth" this many bones, but this stick is a good piece of equipment. I can't speak to the durability of the stick - I've only used it a handful of times, but the stick is light, yet solid. The stick does a great job killing vibration. The flex is great - helps lift the puck with minimal effort (helps when you're a poor puck-handling goalie as is yours truly). The stick is well balanced, and feels great in your hand.

Worth it

Got rung a few times in my old mask, so I decided to upgrade to a pro level one for some extra protection. Haven’t been disappointed. The sight lines are great. The mask itself is super comfortable. It’s a little on the heavy side but it’s protecting my dome, so I can’t complain.

Excellent pant

I second everything in the Anonymous review. These pants are really thought out, and put together well. The pants also fit very well - I'm closer to a medium in size and bought a large of these, and they're roomy but they also don't feel like you're swimming in the gear. Additionally, an upgrade from the EF Shield 2 is that the internal belt length is considerably larger. I had a lot of issues with the short inner belt on the EF, but this has length to spare.
