This seems like a manufacturing defect and not a usage one to me, especially considering the amount of Pro Bauer sets are in the wild without any mention of a similar issue.

raucebyalien Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 There was a video posted in the 'whats in a pad' thread where a Finnish guy takes apart some 1x's and I think they had the same problem in that the boot section just fell off once the skin was off the pad! They must either have a really deep boot break to facilitate flex or be completely detached from the main core of the pad I'm guessing? Although, as I've just typed that out I remember Brian's saying that they'd stopped working with Lehner (Buffalo era) because he wanted a completely detached boot and they couldn't do it without compromising the integrity of the pad...

creasecollector Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I saw that also and couldn't beleive it. It's a shame Bauer couldn't do anything for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanR3KC Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 The OP on this Reddit thread claims 6 months of use at more than 5-7 ice times a week in a very competitive league that’s heavy usage. Could any pad hold up to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could any pad hold up to that? There's a few NHL guys that have dropped to using 1 Bauer set a year. So it's not like there isn't backup to their products lasting. I'm sure other pads would show some substantial wear and tear as well too, I just don't the possibility of the boot essentially just falling off like that.
