Do You Mix and Match Equipment?

I personally don't like things from each brand enough to wear a full set.
I'd definitely use full Warrior but their helmets are atrocious and make me look like I just returned from a distant galaxy. Everything that isn't Warrior for me is Bauer, aside from protective.

I should add I have OCD and I am a perfectionist, so I like staying with one brand. Much easier as AHL teams are wearing CCM and it’s easier to grab.

Sometimes when a product line is really outstanding, I play around with a "semi-full" set (shoulders, shin, elbows), and then keep the stuff that works and sell the stuff that doesn't (e.g. Easton EQ Pro Series, tried: Elbows (sold), Shins (kept as backup), Shoulders (kept as backup/secondary).)
All same brand did occasionally happen, but with 6-7 components and at least 4 manufacturers the chance is pretty slim.
All same brand and product line never happened, and I am pretty much convinced that when going for "proper" fit almost all people will benefit from at least mixing lines within brands.

Helmet: CCM Tacks 710 > Bauer Re-Akt 100
Gloves: Bauer 1X = Bauer APX2 > Warrior Alpha (1st gen) = CCM 4 rolls > Warrior Franchise > Bauer 4 rolls
Pants: Bauer Supreme Pro > Bauer Nexus
Skates: Bauer
Protective I'm less brand-specific but my elbows and shins are both CCM because it just fits better and my chest is an old Easton Synergy.
Custom everything.
