  • I've had my TRUE 20.2 set of gear for almost 3 months now and it's be littered with problems and mistakes from day 1. I love Lefevre made gear but nobody with the last name Lefevre made my gear. This is why I wish I had order custom Warrior G6 or Hyperlite. New videos every Sunday!

    "You expect to get special treatment because you make RUclips videos" Hmm. I think it's a good thing you make these videos and you have a decent size audience. If you didn't I'm not sure I believe the issues with your gear would have been fixed. I'm glad they got your glove back to you and it was the way you wanted it but this seems like a lot of mistakes. What's the point of custom when they won't make things the way you requested? I've had issues with a few companies over the years so I gave up on custom. I just buy pro return gear and I've never been disappointed. I also don't play pro hockey so I guess I can get away with that.

    This is very close to a master class on how to do a "negative" or critical review. It's not bitching for the sake of bitching. Facts help back up claims of the gear not measuring up to expectations. The lack of consistent customer service is a major red flag. $5000 is not an insignificant amount of cash to put out, so the company has a duty to do as much as is reasonable to make things right. Is the decline in customer service due to the acquisition by True? Unclear, but, at a bare minimum, if a request on a custom order can't be fulfilled, a company with great customer service would have reached out to mention the issue rather than simply ignore it. There definitely seems to be an issue of scalability since the acquisition of Lefevre by True and the Chinese-made gear is not unexpected to deal with the increased demand, but the move to overseas manufacturing will affect the public's perception of the brand whether they know the history of the Lefevre name or not. This review is, in the word of Dany Rojas from Ted Lasso, "tough but fair".

    As I said on the Bauer Mach video, Bauer custom may be the way to go. The things you don’t like can be fixed via custom. And also maybe getting use to less pad over rotation as it seems while you like it it has abused you issues in saves you make. Getting to take my Mach’s out for a spin soon.

    It’s the same situation I went through with Bauer when I ordered a custom Hyperlite chest and arm. It looked good but when I put it on I couldn’t get it to sit right. Talked to my salesperson and he said there wasn’t anything he could do really about it. Told me to check the goalie forums and blew me off. I had to reverse engineer it myself to make it work but by that point I was over it. The arms basically pulled the chest down so much it left my shoulders and collar bone vulnerable. I shelled out nearly 700 usd for a custom pile of crap! Ended up going back to a retail Hyperlite. Hope the powers that be reach out to you to fix the issues.

    For my upcoming season in college I bought a full set of Vaughn SLR2 pro carbon leg pads and blocker with a V9 glove last season. I was expecting them to take a week or two to get to my house I ordered them from Prue Hockey and stock cause I’ve never owned a brand new set of gear. I kid you not they came in two to three days. The gear has lasted for over a year now and is holding up, best pads I’ve ever owned. The only thing I want to but but don’t need, is I want to upgrade to the SLR3 leg pads and customize them with a even stiffer core I love hard rebounds and yes my SLR2 still give off hard rebounds but they are a year old so the even stiffer ones would last longer. That’s just my take on what I’ve experienced. Love the videos Trav you are a big inspiration to me I’m also almost 26 trying to play hockey as long as I can.

    Did you ever use the Lefevre-made gloves when they were still with CCM, and if so, did you have issues then? After using Vaughn Velocity and Epic trappers for years, I ended up switching to CCM Premier IIs pads a couple years ago and have tried/discarded the 590 break glove that came with the set, followed by an EF4 600 (both pro palm). I just don't get why they're so much heavier, beefier (despite not much add'l padding), and impossible to close. I still haven't tried a 600 break glove. Sounds like the Warrior G6.1 is the direction I should go next.

    Honestly, like u said before, the wait time is just ridiculous. They might be a “better” product but they’re stretched too thin at this point to actually get leferve gear. Bauer will probably be the first custom set just cause of how much better they’ve been getting. Plus, dont have to wait 3/4 of a year to get it. If interested in specs, hyperlite legs w/ mach glove and blocker w/ ottenger style pocket

    Hi Trav. Thanks for the update on the lefevre. A company that fails to innovate it’s a company that will ultimately fail and fall behind. Plus, if the craftsmanship isn’t there anymore there’s no reason to order 8k worth of Chinese built equipment. You gotta feel confident in your gear or it’s gonna always cost you 5-10% of your concentration. When you’re compensating for your gear it’s a recipe for disaster. Go with the warrior. You’re paying retail anyways. Perform and then warrior will be calling you instead of Vica versa. Peace Trav.

      If you went to “Dirty Ron’s” would you say something if your fast food order was messed up? I think as a paying customer Travis has every right to say something and not play the drive through game of “McDonalds Roulette” where customers take what they are given and leave versus checking their food before they take off. I’ve ordered custom gear before, opened the box and found they put some other persons name on the gear I custom ordered, should I just accept that and move on? Whether you’re a pro or playing beer league when you custom order your gear it should be exactly what you ordered to your spec. I also understand not being a jerk or posting something negative but Travis doesn’t sugar coat anything and is like the majority of us living check to check but instead of working the stripper pole he’s selling Ridge Wallets and Trav4Oilers spec pro laces!

    Couple things.
    -I have a set of 20.2 on the way. I’m in the US. Ordered from a Canadian hockey shop. Paid $2800 USD…which rounds out to $3700~ CAD. If you actually paid $5000 CAD…you got ripped off, unless you’re counting the extra gloves you ordered.
    -the gloves are not heavier. There are threads on TGN…in depth about the 20.2. They actually shaved a few ounces off
    I’m looking forward to using my set. The only issues I had with the 20.1s was the leg pad over rotation that you discussed so with the changes to the 20.2 these pads should hopefully function better.

      Update: first skate in the 20.2s. Phenomenal set. Glove and Blocker were same quality and feel I experienced with my 20.1s. I did go Pro Palm on the Glove, which was the only change.
      Leg Pads: Awesome. The changes to the boot break and the knee block made the pads play better and more stable on the ice. I opted for the leather strap out of the knee block, which eliminated any instability dropping in the butterfly and sliding that happened in the 20.1s. The improved boot break makes the pad more flexible and connected to your leg and skate. My only minor gripe is that that don’t slide as fast as Bauer…but that can be tweaked.
      Happy with my purchase overall. Great set of pads.
