It actually isn't knockoff. Usually in China employees at the official factories sometimes take home/steal the products that did not pass quality inspection and sell them themselves as "knockoff" to make extra money. I used to live and play hockey in Shanghai and these "knockoffs" were extremely popular there as they are basically the real thing.
That and the "official" factories sub out over production and the sub contractors make extra in case there's a QC issue so they end up with extra stock , sometimes they are shipping out the back door during the production run as well , I bought touchless faucets that are the same units a major company in North America sells for $200+ with their name etched on them for 13 bucks a piece with no name on them , the shipping was twice the price of the units but I sold them for between $80 and $110 each so I still did alright on 50 units lol .
Same thing in Bangladesh. I don't know if that's still the case, though. However, back back in 2009 I met a Bangladesh guy who was dressed with super expensive brands from head to toe. Turns out he bought all his clothes directly from the factories that made them. People would take all the things that were rejected and sold it across the factories for pennies (in comparison to the "real" price). I got a lot of Armani clothes for close to nothing. lol
I think the stick and gloves might actually be legit, it’s not uncommon for stuff to go “missing” in the factory then magically appear online for sale. So yeah good deal on those honestly. That helmet is a death trap tho, looks like it would just shatter at the slightest contact.
You should of just do a slap shot contest with a real and a knockoff stick and, do a deke (I’m not sure if that’s the right way to say it) contest (the kind you see at the all star game) to test the gloves and the stick. The game test should of been the last test. Great content guys. Keep it up.
Those mylec helmets give me ptsd, my summer camp used them in my first few summers and they were awful managed to slowly throw them away as more helmets were inherited
Don’t want to be that guy. Butttt The gloves are 100% legit, you can tell due to the cross stitching around the logo and with in the logo. Most Bauer fakes are screen printed and don’t contain tags as well as what appears to be legit barcodes aswell. As for the stick, I’m assuming due to the extra weight it’s probably a pro stock I’m assuming it was a stick that “fell off the truck” due to either a slight misprint in the design or even a bad batch of fiber glass that didn’t match the quality standards. (That surprisingly Bauer has) Uh yeah the bucket is legit, but def made for ball hockey, a soft Mylec orange hitting you in the brain prob won’t kill yah. A stick to the head tho. Explains the mylec no stick above your waste rule.

I don’t understand the “reaction” to the Mylec helmet. That is EXACTLY how they look. For like 30 years. Are they shitty? Yeah. They are not certified for ice hockey. You guys getting thin for content?
It's not necessarily fake. In fact, it's quite likely real, just "gray market" or factory seconds/blemished. Any Joe Schmoe who is motivated enough can get in touch with sellers from Asia who will get you literally any gear you want. A friend of mine bought a pile of Bauer and Easton sticks for a fraction of the retail price. The Bauers had the serial number strip on the insides of the shaft. We actually called Bauer and asked if the stick was under warranty, providing the serial code and not telling them where we got it. They said yes. Of course fakes are a possibility, as this is true of the golf club industry. A low end stick can easily be dressed up to look like a top of a line stick. However, in the case of that Bauer Sling, it's probably unlikely.
Would you ever buy knockoff gear?! 🤔
Maybe if I was broke
No why the hell would I do that
If it protects me the same then sure
I think I am going to for most of my hockey needs , this is legit
No

How’s the hockey in Shanghai
This is the case with the Bauer gear but that helmet is dust
So they are real sticks with the same performance
That is definitely a real ADV that fell off the assembly line in a Chinese factory lol
It is
I have a ADV like that
It was really copied well or it is the real thing
It happens a lot that in the factory’s making the real things workers take stuff home and sell it as “knockoffs”
There's no way I'd be rocking that Mylec helmet out on the ice. Other than that the stick and gloves look legit
It’s not a helmet. It’s a hat.
He’s basically playing hockey in a toy John Olerud helmet from a cereal box.
Fun fact, those advs and other sticks aren't knock offs, they are the real blanks
Where do i get it

I'm pretty sure it's a cricket batters helmet, so it's definitely not made for the kinds of collisions in hockey, lmao
@@raimarulightning No, it's a street hockey helmet 🤣🤣🤣
Do a video where you all have a C on your jersey and when someone gets a penalty everyone goes to talk to the ref
This would be hilarious
Man bardown is just ripping out videos like it's nothing and I love it
I feel like they got hacked lol
That helmet looks like if it took a slapshot it'd explode into a thousand pieces
Idk about pieces maybe more like dust
Is it weird that I’m kinda considering buying some stuff from the site, these look good, and are cheap af.
I like your cat in your pfp :)
remember, it took like 3 months to ship to them lol
@@austriangroyper9308 true I should keep that in mind
@@atlaslogan750 thanks, polite cat is a go to
Don’t buy the helmet tho
When someone who plays goal hears someone who plays forward say hockey’s expensive. Oh you sweet summer child.
The mylec helmet looks like haseks mask.
Haha 🤣
Lol more bangers from bardown
Bring back the BIN BOYS please and thanks
I feel like these aren't knockoffs and that you are just buying it directly from the factory in China.
Vince be looking like Pool Party with that bucket on. I'm guessing the goalie got confused wondering what he had on his head when he took the shot.
You gotta include the prices for each item rookie move
They did multiple times
@@Cotto_CsC not all of them though..
Why are you wearing a mask? You're on the computer... This world has lost it's marbles
For the next installment, buy some skates off Ali Express and try them out, always wondered how those would hold up!
whl pfp
Wearing a mask inside a room by yourself. Mkay...
Take it off.
Do not use a helmet that isn’t going to protect your brain.
The helmet makes me so happy, I use a Mylec net I bought 8 years ago to practice stickhandling and goaltending daily!!
Why is this guy wearing a mask while he’s the only one in that room ? That doesn’t make any logical sense
We need more of these knockoff ones 😂
Lose the masks..
I want to see you guys use an undercover ringer NHL goaltender in your beer league games. That would make an awesome episode.
YESS
Yeah bring in Carey price and call him Gary Bryce
@@dylanbushmire2623 Parey Crice?
...I don't think Bauer is going to be happy with BarDown after this.
Kids, dont play with a literal plastic bucket on your head
The helmet I have used that in special Olympics for floor hockey
The Mylec gear used to be pretty popular for roller hockey in the 90s. I had some of their shin guards that looked like a storm trooper would wear
I had one of thlse helmets in white. It was terrible i never used it. But it was pretty much identical including the cage with the nose
3 posts in one day I love it
That helmet is insane 😂
Vince looks scary
I'd use the gloves and stick but not that helmet
would be interesting to make nasher try the stick for your channel, see if he sees a difference
Lol 1:50 "Djustable Ice Hockey Helmet"
You should of just do a slap shot contest with a real and a knockoff stick and, do a deke (I’m not sure if that’s the right way to say it) contest (the kind you see at the all star game) to test the gloves and the stick. The game test should of been the last test. Great content guys. Keep it up.
The Bauer sticks are made in china. Coach Jeremy ( how to hockey) visited a stick factory the make Bauer sticks. Look up the video
Sooo much bardown content
somehow there was still an “are you keeding me” slipped in
Those mylec helmets give me ptsd, my summer camp used them in my first few summers and they were awful managed to slowly throw them away as more helmets were inherited
Why does Vince play goalie? Dude is saucy. He’s a top 6 forward.
Yes boys your back for more
I’m a simple woman, I see Vince, I click.
We need a video with Copperall pants and Cooper big dome of the 1980’s hahaha
woah 🤯
Would love to see actual testing like Project Farm / Consumer Reports / America's Test Kitchen / VT Helmet lab.
im from Indiana, USA. There are ZERO places near me that sells hockey gear. So yes! I would.
Why are you wearing a mask while sitting by yourself in a room… come on buddy
but you could get worse
I have these things for the gift in my 9 years old childhood
mask indoors by yourself....ugh. other than that the video is fire (so far i'm only a minute in)
We need more Vince!
Those gloves look pretty comfy to sleep on.
unboxing content is low-rent and lame. I skipped half this video to get to the interesting part, testing the gear on the ice.
Vince: what do you think
Me: looking like the fucking dominator out there
Love this series we need more
Fantom is the next Ethereum
Don’t want to be that guy. Butttt

I LOVE THE MORE BARDOWN
That looks like the helmet hasek wore
How do you know if my gear is real? I bought skates for sale
It was weird not seeing Vince in net.
Don’t think I would ever use a Mylec product on the ice, fine for roller hockey probably…..👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
First
The bucket looks as protective as those replica plastic souvenir batting helmets🤣😂

That helmet was made for Homer Simpson
I don’t understand the “reaction” to the Mylec helmet. That is EXACTLY how they look. For like 30 years. Are they shitty? Yeah. They are not certified for ice hockey. You guys getting thin for content?
There is no way I would use that helmet in a game.
The opposing goalie looks like goalies from the 80's who can't bend their knees.
If there’s not goalie gear imma be pissed

All of them are actual products not fakes
Isn’t Vince a goalie
That helmet looks like a Moe Howard wig
Jesse’s yoked!
...but that’s average for Winnipeg boys 😎
I buy knock-off guitar equipment all the time, some of it is pretty legit
from where? i’m looking to buy some gloves and maybe sticks
Usually only the pedals given they can duplicate the circuits.
Hey bardown team I think your content is awesome and all but it would be better if jesey had a narley mullet
Are you sure that it’s a nock off adv
Good thing they had those masks on 😂😂
0:05 Jordan 4 skates what a Beauty
Jesse got the dawson Knox hair
Quite funny but these guys couldn’t break many sticks with this power on skates and in the arms 😂
Lmao he's forgetting that sometimes things sold online as knockoff are actually just stolen
I wouldn't try knock off helmet but stick as it really doesn't protect me
I might be making a odr so that’s pretty cool also live on Oakville so it’s already very cold but idk yet
does anyone feel a resemblance between dominik hasek's black cage with the sabres and the jofa knockoff?
Sup
Go canes lmao
Stone hands my lord dude
imagine wearing a soccer jersey and a mask in this video
OH NO HOW WILL I LIVE
My coach has a jofa helmet
Looks more like a very good product that got rejected than a knock off
Props for Vince! Nice seeing you featured in this video.
That's a real adv lol
The real crime here was that tape job
Huh so thats what a full size human head looks like on a 15 year old body lol
Lmao probably still better by far than the gear I wore in the seventies ….
hahahahah
