It still sort of seems like a different foam since the yellow Poron XRD in the player helmets looks injection molded and has a smooth surface (I think it was because it is open cell foam and would absorb more sweat otherwise) whereas the XRD in the mask looks like a traditional foam. It could all just be appearance and truly be the same, though. The difference in the appearance is probably from how the foam is made or processed. If you play around on the site enough, you'll find the area where it mentions that they can do custom molding or shapes for a specific application. There also are slightly different densities to the XRD depending on the the application. I would imagine all the hockey stuff is you using the toughest version. XRD makes a terrible knee stack landing though! I think conceptually it makes sense? But it's just too stiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't paying to license that name, it sounds. Regular Poron till exists and it's a different foam. I think they are changing the names for marketing clarity.

But yeah they fit alot bigger then what they say there were. I would say they were closers to a 40" or 42". There was little things companies would do for the pros to keep there pads at the limit but once worn they were taller. I have pair of Garth Snow dx2 pads. They were listed as 35+3 but fit closers to 40" pad as they had no skate channel in the boot. The pad just sat on top of my skates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vally is also a monster at 6'6, so I have no doubt he actually used all that pad height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 @TitanG - stock 1X = 590 break 1S = 600 and seems to be a fantastic clone. I'm wearing the glove now and like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Here's some more details... 2S supposed to be 3X more durable than 1S Pads will feature a new Powerlite core foam 2S skates looks similar to 1S but with more gold trim and the black runner. Black runner is new high end steel. They will also feature a recoil tounge that is supposed to aid some spring in your push Lastly, there's a a new demo program called #tryit - I don't have specifics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
