I am on my third set of Battram's (I think I had one of the first sets when Scott started in his Parent's basement --I believe that is the story).

They are great for me since I am short and have small hands and have trouble finding equipment in my size that is also good quality and can protect me. I may fit in junior gear, but I am definitely not playing at the junior level. The gear has kept me safe as I play against mostly men, but have also played at USA Hockey National Championship in the Women's C division.

The ability to customize the size is ideal for me. My latest set contains the logo from my recreation team that travels to a variety of tournaments--The Big Fat Flying Pigs. We wear pink jerseys and now I have pink and black gear with the pig on it to match.

Sweet! One of the tournaments up in the fine state of Maine I played in the other goalie had Battram pads on. I made it a point to skate up to her after the game and compliment her on the pads.
You're playing at the USA hockey level that I'm in. Hope to see you at Nationals someday...if only we could beat damn RI! Although they were disqualified this year for having un-waivered college players on their team. CT got to go instead and got pummeled, but they're a classy team so I'm glad they made it. Hopefully we'll be there next year!
