How do you like them so far? I got rid of the stock knee and thigh wraps right away. Still have not found a perfect strapping setup yet but I have only used them twice.

After playing 150 minutes in a double shift on wednesday night, I fell in love with the new pads. They fit so well, and while they are tiny compared to my old itechs, they allowed for much faster movement around the crease.
Funny thing, I was at the Canucks game last night and took a good look at Lu's pads. He's running 4 of the 5 straps, no calf hold, and his toe ties and ankle straps are so loose, I'm surprised he's not skating over them!
But man, can he lock down flat on the ice. It's impressive to see.
I was so happy with the hockey shop and Reebok gear that I snagged a pair of these in the proper size for me.
My old CCM were size 9.5, these are size 7.5
I can't wait to try them out.
I'm super pleased with this new purchase though.
$56 on sale at Sport's Replay right now. Super light weight compared to my old CCM and Harrow sticks, and a curve that let's me get some serious lift to clear the puck.
I like the Warrior stuff.
