blocker cracking?

[oguy]

my blocker started splitting around the face and I have only had it for a month, does anyone know what this is cause from.

[Max27]

my guess would be skate cuts but i have never seen this before 

white padskinz can cover it if it is skate cuts

[seagoal]

My guess is the combination of being wet and persistent abrasion, perhaps from a post by the look of those red stains?

Do you dry your gear out after use?

Is that edge of the blocker being rubbed on the post or crossbar repeatedly?

It may be the seam allowance putting pressure on the blocker face.

The stress may be in part due to the plastic board in the blocker being warped by various stresses. I bought a used Reebok P4 605 blocker (the predecessor to the EF series) and the plastic board was pushing on the material; however, not enough to rip it at the point that I got it.

These CCM blockers have a pretty big problem with this. I went through 2 in one season because they just kept cracking. My blockers were a CCM E3.9 Int blocker and a CCM Premier R1.5 Sr blocker. I'm now using a Warrior Ritual G3 Sr blocker and I'm happy to say I have no problems with it.

I was just looking at warrior thinking of switching when I have the money.

You should start by contacting the store you ordered it from.

if that fails, reach out to CCM
