mik Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Thanks, liked old reactor line (Cujo, Hašek..) when I was young, but no chance I could have them at that time. Still I can not convince myself to send pads to someone else... It looks like they stay with me . Edited March 10, 2017 by mik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember that as that Supreme line went on they actually removed the rolls from the thigh rise all together. I'll look for a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this was during a period of not caring too much. Right now, they are all in again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are old school pads and it is not easy to play in them, if you are not used to. But I still see some older goalies play with them. Personaly I never played with those pads on ice - bought them some years ago on sale for a realy fraction of price (last piece of old school model, which no one would like to buy) to use them on hobby summer inline. Long story short - I was injured (ankle) before I can even use them and never play inline hockey from then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 The binding on that blocker looks so out of place to me. It's like a binding for bindings sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostender Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Looks like they were trying to cover over the string binding at the top (back) end and had to carry it the rest of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hills Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 It's the same design they had since the Reactor 6000. I am pretty sure they are doing it just to do it at this point instead of it service a purpose since the RX10 blocker was bindingless. Same with the CCM gloves where you can order them with bindings, it is an easy thing (probably easier to make as well) to do to keep some traditionalists happy.

I get why, I just think it looks silly. Make sense to me on the Brian's Hertiage line. The bauer lines are trying to be the epitome of modern and a binding is just was a waste of space 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwarnar Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Don't think it's been covered.... what are the differences between the 1S and 1X skates? I'm currently in Reactor 6000's and potentially looking for a cowlingless replacement. Debating VH 2 piece vs Bauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hills Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 1X will be a slightly different fit profile than 1S, and it will be a bit softer boot. It should have less depth in the boot than the Supreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the feedback on the Supreme line, of not fitting the widest range of feet, I was thinking the Vapor would have depth and volume to accommodate more people's feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the feedback on the Supreme line, of not fitting the widest range of feet, I was thinking the Vapor would have depth and volume to accommodate more people's feet From everything I've heard, the fit will be similar to the Vapor player skates compared to Supreme. So it would have less depth and less volume overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
