I recently purchased the Vaughn 7450 Leg pads, upgrading from the CCM Blockade pads. The first thing I noticed on the ice was the balance stabilizers, ( before, it felt like I had to force my legs into the correct position ) and after putting on the 7450's it took a lot less effort, it also helped me make a few more saves than I normally would have! The Flex Pac Stuffing is great, my pads felt broken in after playing 2 games in them. I would've like more features ( Compared to the much more expensive Brian's Focus ) but for the price they're great. I haven't had the pads long enough to test durability, but at the most I play twice a week so they should last me a while.
