Kenadian_31 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 The “Stabiflex” is the the same as the Ultrasonic in terms of integration into the pad but it has a 25% give hence the “flex” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all marketing bs. Would love to see true science/data to prove this 25% flex. One could argue the ultrasonic has 25% flex if you press hard enough on it.

ThatCarGuy Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Sounds interesting to me especially because it means I was right. Ultrasonic knee block stiffness should not be on a “flexible” pad like Vapor. Stabilislide makes a leg pad feel super boxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like how "CoverEdge+" on Warrior basically means they made the gear thicker lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looks cheesy AF to have it embroidered on the gear at the store. #ProLogosWhenOrderingVaughn However, the number one thing people don't consider is why this stuff happens? The companies try to make sure that consumers walk into goalie monkey who know nothing about the gear and clean leave understanding why their product is better than the competitors. By naming the technology and labeling on the gear, they hope this helps the battle. The pad is the core. You can't see the core. It's hard to market the changes under the hood.

This is in pretty much all product marketing these days unfortunately, not just hockey gear. Ford's "Sync" technology or "PowerBoost" V6 engine, Apple's "Lightning" charging accessories, "cold-filtered" beer from Coors, etc. It's all meaningless marketing-speak.

ThatCarGuy Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I wish I could order hyperlite but the sizing flat out doesn’t work for me. I’d need to be in a size small to fit my knee but the pad would be way too short in the thigh. Already asked bauer about custom thigh rise heights and they turned the idea down.

sescaro Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Anyone have a feel for Bauer’s 2nd price point quality - particularly the 3S, since that’s their most recent before the 3X hits? I’m very intrigued by everything the 3X offers for the price, but am a little skeptical of the longevity, given that their pro level stuff had a bad rep not all that long ago. I play 1-2 times a week and not at a very high level, so I don’t need the most durable stuff ever, but I also don’t want to be replacing what I buy anytime in the next few years.

This post is a little contradictory. You question the longevity of the pro level gear but want to use sub pro gear and expect it to last longer? I don't think that you will have an issue with the pro level gear. Those issues were worked out many years ago. I understand not wanting to get pro level gear if you don't face higher level competition but if you're playing multiple times per week you could benefit from the better materials of the pro gear lasting longer than sub pro. That goes for any gear manufacturer, not just Bauer. As for Bauer gear itself, I have no personal experience with the modern Bauer gear so I will let someone else comment on it.

I see bauer pro stock is for perfomance and not durability and it's ok. the jenpro on senior look more thicker and add some weigh to the pads but durabilty seem to be better. my friend just ordered Hyperlite gear yesterday i will let you know how the pad keep going after june when i receive it. For me with the new senior custom gear i'm pretty sure my next set will be a bauer senior with a pro glove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravitas Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 This won't really help as I am wearing Ultrasonics, but all the CorTech areas of the pad are fine. I have maybe 30-40 skates in them. Only spots where I am seeing issues are the jenpro areas in the boot and thighrise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
