Gear with Patrik Laine

 

So, I had an idea for an article that would be extremely unique. What if I showed everyone the gear that I use? I decided that it would be a good idea to also show some pieces of gear and how they perform against others, so here we go.

 

HELMET:

 

For my helmet, I wear the Bauer RE-AKT 150. It provides solid protection as I have been using it since I played in the WJC back in Finland. It also can let me clip my visor on so it is perfect. Nice clear visor on there gives me better vision and helps me protect my eyes.

 

SHOULDER PADS:

 

For my shoulder pads, I use the Bauer Supreme S29 set of shoulder pads. They fit nice and snug under my jerseys, super comfortable and help protect from my shoulders all the way down to my rib cage.

 

STICK:

 

For my stick, I use the Bauer Vapor X1 Lite Grip 87 Flex. It has an 87 flex which is great because I can get a slot of bend on it for more power on my shots. I also do my own tape job. I have a video of me doing my taping job from a few years ago. I'll link it here.

 

 

 

 

GLOVES:

 

For my gloves, I use a pair of Bauer Vapor X1 Lite to match my stick. Hands feel free in them and I can paint them to match my team colours. Also gives me the ability to handle the puck smoothly.

 

PANTS:

 

For pants, I just use a standard pair of Bauer pants with my team's colours and logo on them. nothing special.

 

SKATES:

 

For skates, I wear a pair of Bauer Vapor X2 Pros. These feel good on my feet and are great for my skating style. Also easy to get on and off with the flap which is a nice plus.
