From no pads to pads.

I haven't worn shoulder pads in a long time. I never found a pair that had mobility and comfort. After a separated shoulder, I decided to try on every pair of pads at the store. I tried on $70 to $260 sets of shoulder pads. Keeping in my budget, I found the Bauer Vapor 2x to meet my preference for lightweight, comfort and mobility. I've now played 10 or so games and have to say that I am happy with my decision.

Functional skate guard

They work. I don't use the guards to walk in so I just have them to protect the blades in the bag and keep them dry.

It's a water bottle

May be the most reasonably priced water bottle on the market. However, don't squeeze too hard or the drink will come out from under the lid (not a good seal).
