I've heard that the Vapors would be more for me due to my wide feet and bunion on my right toe. I will have to wait and see. If you end up going 2S or 2X (not sure if available at S29 or X? senior level), I would definitely recommend spending the extra $100 to get full custom. Unless your feet are like perfect molds of retail skates, it really helps dial in the fit. My skates are size 8 7/8 and 9 3/8 with +1 size toe cap and they even added the extra outer wrap to my 1S that became stock on 1X. Hopefully at that time they will be using their 3D scanning like CCM/TrueVH for an exact fit. EDIT: The non-3D scan custom process seems a little cloudy right now, might depend on the retailer you work with and their relationship with Bauer/willingness to go through the process. But currently the non-scan custom process is retail +$200 (CAD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undoubtedly, the most common ordered color combo for off the shelf sales across the Vapor and Supreme lines is going to be White/White. Vapors and Supremes are going to look identical to the untrained eye in an all white configuration, so the dimpling is another way to differentiate between lines. CCM, Vaughn, and Warrior have knee rolls that do that differentiation for them so they don't have to worry about that. Like you said, it adds depth and richness. Like adding wood grain to a car interior. I personally love the flat printed look on Bauers because it gives the impression they've done everything possible to reduce weight. Cut and Sew reminds me too much of the big heavy pads of the past. I wish they'd make it more friendly with actual selectable color zones instead of pre-created combinations. It's hard to match my team colors (Forest Green, Black, Copper) with Bauer's limited selections without going custom printed. You and me both. I love the printed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 6 hours ago, Mroy31 said: I think in the Bauer thread there is a comparison, which is mostly just the fit and whether your feet are Supreme or Vapor feet (or neither). Other than the asymmetrical design of the "shoulders" (or whatever) and tongue, and the size of the outer wrap (Vapor wraps around your foot more than Supreme), the rest of the differences are just minor composite material and configuration of the boot changes. Once the 2X skates come out, I'll be looking at upgrading to either 2S, 2X or maybe True/VH. I got into custom 1S when they came out, but I don't know if my feet are really Vapor or Supreme fit because there was no Vapor to get into at the time. @mr_shifty1982 - I can’t speak to 2X... But the main difference is the boot fit. That will always be the case. The Vapor goalie is more accommodating and will fit more feet. This is the opposite for player boots. Other general rule: Supreme is assymetical and Vapor has equal ankle heights. Notes about line evolution: 1X has upgrades over 1S around comfort, 2S got those upgrades to level the playing field with 2X 2S’s 1 up on 1X is the better quality and taller steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the program changed since I did my 1S order, but at the time it was the 799 retail plus 100, so it came to about a grand with taxes, but it was a flat 100 for any custom features. If you're already spending the full price retail, it makes sense to go custom is all I meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichMan Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 During my visit to the local shop today, I looked at what I believe to be some 2S demo pads. They were size large and to my surprise they weighed as much as my 36+2 Smith 1000 pads, so I'm not getting where the "super light" thing is coming from O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hockey Stick Man look to have a 2X Pro prototype or 2X Pro wrapped stick available. I have bought 3 sticks here with no issues as an FYI. Pretty cool if anyone wants to get a unique stick for cheap https://www.instagram.com/p/BrT4UBhjqxG/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=qcbxh8joi4s7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey1234 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Just bought the 2x skinned as 2s off of the person above because he resold them again on sideline swap(jayluv54). Someone above said that they only have one internal break but they are definitely broken in on two but could stil just be one internal, hard to tell. I’ll be able to get them on ice on Monday. I can post pics or a “review/opinions” sort of thing if anyone’s interested let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wox33 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Someone in one of the Facebook gear selling pages has a full set of what look to be the retail version of the 2X. Has some really good pics of the back of the pads. Looks very similar to the 1X strapping with the ability to remove the knee wing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get a closer look to see if Bauer removed the binding from the inside of the pad to help with durability but I couldn’t tell. That is always an area that concerns me on my 1x’s.

So there is less than before but there is still some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
