@Punisher Goalie - Any idea what your XPM weighs? What size it ? This is a fit 2 

My XPM is a Fit 1. Its currently out for paint. Will get the weight when it comes back. I know I’ve weighed it before and it was around 1300 grams with cage, but can’t remember for sure.

Thoughts or  reviews on the Bauer 37.5 sweat bands? Currently using original orange sham bands in my Stacey. Possibly looking at making a switch 

They are outstanding. I’ve bought a few extras. They are cheap, super comfortable, and dry quickly. I have experienced way better sweat absorption with the 37.5s vs. shams.

I'm with you guys on the 37.5 sweat bands. I had tried sham (not a fan) and was using Monster for about a year but since everything Bauer makes with 37.5 in it is awesome, I figured I'd try them. Could not be happier.

That’s what I’ve been reading online. Just ordered one today

***UPDATE - HUGE CUSTOMER SERVICE ATTABOY!!!  I had previously ordered a new jock thru the Hockey Shop Goal in Surrey... they accidentally sent the wrong one.  After sending me a purolator waybill for the return, their online sales rep, Christian, tossed in a 2 pack of the XPM 37.5 sweat bands at no charge.  I've always had great service from them and wanted to share how great they are***

Christian is good shit. I've talked to him many of times and played against him as well.

I currently own a pair of Bauer S160 PLAYER skates and am having a bit of an issue with fit.

I've wear EE's and had them baked for my feet, using them to referee. I also have flat feet so I can't use superfeet in them (using stock insole). I've tried a few ways of tying the laces but have the same issue: The outsides of my feet ranging from the arches hurts like a bitch and cannot move them once I get the foot out. It's fine on the ice but as soon as I take them off, the pain just comes like a truck.

Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? Thanks.

Flat feet and super feet are usually a good combo...

@WizYuan See! See! I have flatter feet than you do and I swear by superfeet... Didn't you end up buying some when you got your skates? 

[IPv6Freely]

Yea thats the nice thing with the Superfeet, they aren't meant for arch support. They're meant for heel stabilization.

Me? No I don't use Superfeet. Don't really want to put them in my True's and they don't work well with my player skate.

The Bauer sweat bands are amazing and cheap. No reason to go with Monster or Sham anymore

The little maple leafs is a nice touch. The gold Bauer logos will look good with the matching medals as well.

 Filip Gustavsson’s matching gloves... that yellow blocker binding looks horrible

fine on the glove, looks good awful terrible on the blocker. 

[Pauly35or00]

For the life of me, I can't figure out why Bauer went with binding on the 1X blocker. It always turns out looking awful and doesn't match the sleek aesthetic of the 1X line at all. It's gross.

Because Bauer is all about innovation and so they did something nobody has ever seen before! Oh, wait... 

[TheGoalNet]

@Pauly35or00 @IPv6Freely - agreed it looks terrible. It was Bauer’s attempt to brand the 1X as more traditional than the 1S

the embossed knee & shin rolls are horrible too. That’s to point out the pad has more flex than 1S 

Dont always hit home runs.

The faded graphic in the darker colored blue would make for a dope main graphic.

I don't mind the binding on the blocker, I think it can look good with the right setup. That blocker doesn't look good though.

Can´t help myself, but Sweden logos looks like stickers .

It looks like binding for the sake of binding.

Gents!  I'm looking at finally updating my skates... Looking at the 1X vs X900, anyone dig into the differences between the 2?   Is the extra $300 cdn schmeckles worth it or would one be better using that cash towards some tydan blades.  

Sorry if this has already been discussed...

This is the only comparison i can find with my google-fu.

Pretty much the same difference you see between any pro skate and the one step down. A slight decrease in features and build quality. It never seems enough to me to spend the extra moolah for a slight upgrade.
