i got the same premier you have mike, i like it a lot better than my sherwood (vaughn 9950 clone). brown is really nice, I didn’t have luck with 2 older units I tried, I’d def try a newer one in the future but I don’t see myself spending money on goal gear besides a new set of pads. I’ve never worn vaughns, but I love my vaughn gloves. and I’ve seen many pair of smiths in person, they all look like they were well constructed, wear well, close up well, etc. I’d drop a grand for a custom set, figure I could get 550 for my rbk’s so it’s only 450. ---

I’ve never worn Smith’s so I can’t make a direct comparison. However, my V2’s lasted me 3 years of college and are still in good shape. My teammate’s Smith pads were shot after 1 season. Sure it’s 1 pair, but I just thought they didn’t even compare to my Vaughn’s. On every goalie I’ve seen wear them, they have looked good, and closed up well. I’ve never been a fan of flat face pads, so I never liked those particular Smith models. I just like having the knee roll there. My teammate’s Smith’s did have knee rolls in them like my V2’s. ---

yeah if I get smith’s I’d get the new 6000s ![http://www.smithhockey.com/Portals/0/Pads/6000%20Series/6000legpads3.jpg](http://www.smithhockey.com/Portals/0/Pads/6000%20Series/6000legpads3.jpg) if I were to get a pad with knee rolls i’d probably get v3’s or bauer x60s ---

ok… so i went to denver and picked up the stuff… turns out it wasnt vaughn, it was itech, and itech 4.8 at that matter… i was a lil pissed, but oh well… i got blocker glove pants pads and upper plus a brand new rbk goalie bag for 250… i couldnt pass that up… im not playing at the level i used to anymore, so no need to spend what i used to… at least till i get back on the ice after 11 months… SO… with that… check these skates for me [http://www.goaliemonkey.com/bauer-goalie-skates-vapor-xix-sr-06.html](http://www.goaliemonkey.com/bauer-goalie-skates-vapor-xix-sr-06.html) my skates were an old set of ccm’s and they worked fine for me for many many years. im so out of touch in buying new skates, what do you think ? the price isnt bad, but im not sure on vapors. ---

i heard those cowlings are prone to cracking, but it’s only 119 so you might as well give em a shot ---

True, cowlings on those are WEAK. I’ve always gone CCM, just loved my first pair of tacks and haven’t switched from the CCM label. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/goalie-sites/76872.md?page=1)
