Md30 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Last week I ordered and received a pair of Bauer 2X pro pads. I have a concern about the inside edge of the left pad and how the material seems bunched. I contacted Bauer and was told it was normal and there was nothing that they could do. My concern is that this is an area of wear and could break down and tear easily. Does anyone with experience in these pads tell me if I am overthinking this?

Hockeygoalie111 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 This is normal for the Cortech skin. You shouldn't have any problems, especially because the majority of the weight will be placed on the knee stack and calf wing when you are sliding/ on the ice.

BadAngle41 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 @Md30 I think one of the struggles with some of the Bauer gear is the relative inconsistency in finish. To @Hockeygoalie111's point they're functionally fine but I can understand your concern. My set is actually smooth in the same area and the only wear I'm showing after about a dozen skates is on the nylon binding of the inner edge ear the heel.

Md30 Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Thank you, I actually was looking at your post before I posted. The finish work on yours is what I was expecting when I bought mine. As long as the wrinkles do not cause premature wear I am actually okay with it.
