Default Help Selecting Correct Gear - I can't go try it on as i'm in New Zealand

Hey Guys and Girls...

I'm all the way out in New Zealand and unfortantly i can't just rock down to my local sporting goods store to try gear on. So i have to order it over the net with no chance to test for fit or get correct sizing...

I'm currently looking at getting a new CP and some gloves as i've been using the team gear and i want my own sweaty smelly stuff, not a collection of others...

I'm about 6 foot 2 and roughly 100kg (220lbs), i've using a Warrior MPG 5.5 pad, but it's too short and i'm constantly taking shots to my lovely fat roll (i'm not that fat it just sounds funnier), i like the way it fits and i love the armoured shoulders as i've had 3 shoulder reconstuctions from old baseball injuries. I've been looking at getting the Warrior Players Club 7.0 CP from lacrossemonkey.com but recently found the Warrior Players Club 6.0 in Austrailia thats a bit cheaper and alot less in shipping... Can you tell me the differances? I've read what you guys and a few other forums have said about restricted movement, but i really want to look after my shoulders and haven't found them to be that restrictive.

Also i've been using old stx field gloves in goal and again stinky and smelly...

i've been looking at the following gloves... i like a snug fitting glove:

- STX I Pro Goalie Glove
- RBK 9K Lacrosse Goalie Gloves
- Warrior Super Freak 2.0

Can you guys provide any help on whats better...

Try reading some reviews online they have always helped me. If you do not have goalie gloves for sure invest in some. You don't want to end up with a broken thumb.

If you could point me in the way of some sites with reviews... that would be fantastic, as i'm struggling to find any for the newer gear.

I might be breaking a rule or its taboo but at
The Equipment Review List (Updated) - The Lacrosse Forums
it has reviews for most things.
The Lacrosse Equipment Superstore | Lacrosse Heads | Lacrosse Gloves | All Lacrosse Gear
If you look up the item you want then at the bottom people would of had written reviews.
LaxNation.com
Also has some reviews on it.
