I think Bauer will be a bit taller, but I didn’t have them side to side.

no plastic will interfere with your pushes 

The toe box is very nicely done!  I tried a pair on a few month ago and it's the first ccm skate that I can comfortably fit my short fat foot with high ankle bones in without custom.  There D width is a little better to.  The attack angle is suppose to be slightly better than the bauers without the cowling! Realistic standards their isn't much of a difference between the two when I compared that day nor I think it would be much of a difference on ice.

@thebigm - Thanks for the additional info. I believe the only downside of these is that they might (almost positive they do) still weight more than a comparable 1S.

They are just a tad more not noticeably different

Here is P2. Might have a demo set coming...

Is it just me or does that knee landing look really stiff?

The grey piece or the block?

[cwarnar]

That grey piece, ribbed for pleasure?

Mmm, ya bby, I love that textured feeling on my knee. Rly gets them juices flowin'.

Recent Premier pads have a stiffer knee block, I'm assuming this textured portion will be a tad softer (looks squishy) and tacky to keep the knee from sliding off. I wouldn't wear these without kneepads though.

Gotta say, Premier line hasn't interested me much till this iteration, I'm really curious to get my hands on it for some reason.

[Flyers27]

I'm looking forward to seeing these in person.

[cwarnar]

@TheGoalNet Any indication on the weight?  I know traditionally the Premier line had been super heavy by most standards, but hope springs with the news that the EFlex 3 line has had significant weight reductions as well

[TheGoalNet]

@cwarnar - the knee stack is very soft and squishy 

These are also very light, sub 5lbs at like 34+1 ish. This not your traditional Premier 

[sebastiancp1]

Adding a tacky material on the knee, like they did with the XLT pads is really poor thinking in my opinion.  It totally inhibits knee / pad rotation.  Had to cut the whole cradle out of my pads to help rotate.

[Znowleopard]

Any idea when the senior level premier 2 stuff will be out, same time at top end?

[TheGoalNet]

@sebastiancp1 - I liked how it felt when I touched it and I wear tiny knee pads. I do NOT think this will be an issue for me, but if I get a demo, I will comfirm

@Znowleopard - I would imagine end of may or early june 

[ruckus007]

I've tried the Eflex 2 C/a - comfortable....but the arms are terrible....

Belly blocks are super soft......

[TheGoalNet]

@ruckus007 - tried it with shots or tried it on?

what didn’t you like about the arms?

by comparison, what unit do you wear now? 

[cwarnar]

@TheGoalNet very interesting about the weight... I’ve always wanted to try a set of Koho/RBK/Premier pads. In the past the weight along with the open leg channel turned me off.

With their new strapping systems and weight reduction I’d love to demo a set.  The whole boot angle thing as well might be an issue.  I know I’d likely wear a 32 in these tho

i tried it on, and noticed that although the arms fit snug and comfortable, the elbow floaters sit right up against the forearm. I had a guy take a stick and gave it a small tap and it actually hurt quite a bit. I wear a Ritual GT now, and have had the Premier, P1, V3, G2 pro classic, Simmons 997 and P4 - none of them did this. I think it's mostly because of how close the padding is to the arm, because you have to wear it with the  slings and given that this unit's softer than previous ones, the transfer of impact force goes directly into the body. 

I had it properly adjusted prior to testing. I couldn't even give the elbow floaters a quick jab without it hurting. 

I do like the removable rib padding, and the way the unit fits and moves. It's just the protection that raises a huge flag.

@ruckus007 - thank you for elaborating and providing a clearer picture 

I loved the arm slign feature as it felt like a great connection idea, but I did no impact testing

i think that's an unintended side affect of the sling. It keeps the arm connected and has it move out of place less, however, the front part of the arm no longer moves away from your arms, which means there's no "gap" between the floaters and your flesh.

Picture taken from the CCM Instagram page. The P2 customizer is now available online. I'm leaning strongly towards getting a set. Anyone else considering the line?

Absolutely, if i can dig up the money for a custom set i will, but i will probably just go with a stock pair depending on the price difference.

There should be no price difference for a custom CCM set

really? i was looking at monkey sports eu and a custom set of eflex 3 are 2000 euros and a stock pair are 1700, so i would assume that it will be that same for the p2
