I'm sorry, my mistake misled everyone. I really had never held the second generation in my hands, especially the new one, and did not know all of its individual differences and the face and sliding surfaces are covered with CORTech. only it has a different texture and color. This is especially noticeable on used white pads the skin on the face turns yellow over time, and the phone camera further emphasizes this difference in shades, although live it is not so noticeable the texture of CORTech ST in the second generation is rough and looks more like an embossing of genuine leather at the same time, the skin on the face is "rough", and on the flaps of the knee and lower leg it is more "smooth" on the first generation Od1n the skin was smooth as for the knee block you are right, the outer flap does have an angle of 45 and it has not changed - all the factory seams are intact. there are also Velcro residues on the 45-degree bevel, indicating that the unit itself was replaced at a later date I found out that Bauer was offering optional custom straight knee blocks now about "my" block I found it to be very loose, this was a problem in the first generation and Bauer was gradually solving it. when i split the block parts i saw this the block is tied to the pad with a ridge cord, which is clearly not done by Bauer and the increased looseness was explained very simply - the block was replaced after purchase without disassembling the pad and was tied not to the core, as was done in the original, but to the inner lining at the same time, the block had a classic design of three parts with an inner and outer flap, fastened together with Velcro The main problem with this design is that the knee elastic tries to "tear" the inner flap from the block by its tension. over time, the Velcro stops holding it can be fixed very simply - a loop is made on the knee block, through which the elastic is passed, thereby relieving the load on the inner flap and Velcro I turned the pocket of the knee block inside out, marked and cut the holes for the "loop" turned it back and passed the elastic through the loop to Bauer's credit, this problem was solved in a similar manner on a standard knee block. the more I learn about their products, the more respect I am imbued with this company - they do not hide their shortcomings, but constantly work to eliminate them in each generation, offering an ever more improved product According to the descriptions I found, the 2X knee block was redesigned with new, less rigid foam for a more comfortable landing. also the knee block has become slightly thinner, increasing the knee canal. which made it possible to use more massive knee pads I don’t know about the original, but my knee block had a sandwich of three foams of different densities. two layers of very stiffness foam and one medium density foam for comparison foam 1S the foam at the top has come off and was glued back I also found that the pocket under the block had a headroom and added another layer of soft foam on the landing side of the knee to be continued sorry for the very poor photo quality as i still use a very old phone

ArdeFIN is the ultimate glove connoisseur. but if a question arises within my competence, I will gladly try to help

CORTECH Skin on the outside, 2X pro logo, label on the inside say otherwise

Hello again the experience of using the 1S Od1n pads after their repair was generally very positive and made me take a closer look at the new lines of Bauer pads. the only thing I couldn’t get used to with the 1S was the fit and feel. I felt them as alien. I have been looking closely at the Vapor line for a long time, but there were few proposals for an acceptable combination of price / condition. and here again, quite by accident, I came across 2X PRO at a good price with little problems. photo from the seller the pads were only two years old, but used in the conditions of the Major Hockey League (analogous to the North American AHL) the main drawbacks were the skin tears in the fold of the boot there were also minor cosmetic flaws that I discovered already upon the arrival of the pads. from my experience of working with new generation Bauer pads, I knew that, most likely, it would not be limited to one skin tear otherwise the pads were in excellent condition. they cost $ 340 including shipping Upon closer inspection, I was surprised by two things: the lower leg and knee sliding surfaces were Jenpro, not CORTECH (mistakenly). and the knee block did not have a 45-degree cut, like the stock 2X its cover was also nylon, not of the material Quadro-something there knee block original my knee block pad weight 2X Pro 1S OD1N continuation soon

Bauer 2X pro

never tucked pants with suspenders under the chest. the chest is as relaxed as possible and not tied to the pants. accustomed, nothing interferes with anything. the reason is high sensitivity to overheating. I have recently been wearing Warrior pants with an inner belt and fitted. they allowed you to give up suspenders, but when they are tightened around the waist it gets very hot

exactly. according to the indicators that we are considering - stiffness, sliding, hot bounces, Opt1k is inferior to 1S in all positions judging by the reviews, the 2X is more different from the Supreme line than the 1X I will be able to check it personally soon

good idea. I support. S29 or X2.9 would be a very good transition from one 90

If, like me, you value pads' rigidity, flat face, hot rebounds and great glide, you will definitely love the new Bauer Od1n line and its evolution. I'm speaking as someone who switched from Brians Opt1k to Supreme 1S Od1n. Bauer is head and shoulders above everything else on the market in all these indicators. As for the difference between Supreme and Vapor, the newer the generation, the greater it is. so they say in the reviews. I ordered myself a Vapor 2X and in about 2 weeks I can take them out on the ice and compare with Od1n

Washington vs LA goaltenders night How do you like the LA foil hats?

you are constantly changing concepts, confusing "build quality" with "durability". a hard, unbending boot will break sooner or later. it is a fact. but this is not due to the fact that it is made or assembled "poorly", but because it is precisely such a structure that cannot serve forever. the 1S core concept was designed specifically for the stiff boot. do you think Bauer did not know where this would lead? The design of these pads was based on performance that is unrivaled to this day. as far as the "build quality" is concerned, as a person who has disassembled and repaired many pads, the quality of the pads of all manufacturers is absolutely the same, and regardless of the country of assembly

leave it. the dude just saw the pads only in pictures on the internet and never went out on the ice with them. "this car is bad because it is ugly" - schoolchildren's reasoning

totally agree with you. I own 1S pads and moreover, I know perfectly well how they are arranged and why and for what purposes this or that design solution was used. and they fully justify themselves on the ice with better performance. the person who does not understand why they are arranged this way is the person who does not need them, not suitable for his playing style and expectations from the pads

external breaks? Seriously? maybe you still miss a bridge on iron bolts? lol if you are stuck in the 90s it is clearly not Bauer's fault

it seems to me that Bauer is moving along the path 1-2-1-2 so to speak. 1-revolution, 2-evolution. 1S was a revolution with a new skin and incredible rebounds. 2S became an evolution of a new concept, correction of errors. Ultrasonic was next. revolution again - new integrated knee block

I did not own it myself, but judging by the reviews, it is a very decent gear. all materials used are the same or the same manufacturers as those used by North American gear manufacturers. there is an English-language overview of their products on YouTube

Trav has a video on this topic on his YouTube channel. see if he can give answers to your questions

I'm just Russian LOL)))))

I suppose on request "3m polyurethane film for a car" you can find an acceptable option. there is still no exact data on the thickness and type used by Miklin. although you can try writing to him directly. maybe answer

This tape itself is a PU foil material with an adhesive backing. used to protect cars from stones. the Russians came up with the idea of sticking it on the rubbing surfaces of the pads. it really glides very well and protects parts of the pad from premature abrasion. verified

because the sticky side is glued to the skin. elementary

Typically, a polyurethane tape similar to that used to protect the body and headlights of a car from stones is used. quite popular mod in Russia, especially among non-professionals

Hi all! These pad models are obsolete but still available for purchase. they were also the beginning of new pad lines for themselves, and their design features, with minor changes, were transferred to new models. I think this comparison will be useful to anyone who chooses pads between these manufacturers disclaimer everything said below is my personal subjective opinion based on personal experience, knowledge and preferences and cannot be absolute truth I own an Optik size 35 + 2 for a little over a year with constant use 2-3 times a week. XL size Od1n (36 + 1) was used on 7-8 ices the weight Opt1k Od1n design Opt1k is a more traditional pad. outer skin from jenpro the sliding surface is covered with Primo material Od1n outer skin - the latest (on the date of market launch) development by Bauer called C.O.R.Tech skin-multilayer coating molded without crosslinking in the shape of the core with a new skin, declared weight reduction, increased rebound and improved glide impressions on ice I switched to Opt1k after Premier 4 and the difference in weight and glide was significant. but there was one nuance immediately after going out on the ice, regardless of its state, Opt1k glided very mediocrely "sticking" to the ice. on heating it was necessary to "cool" them slightly on ice. after that they started to slide very well Od1n glided right away without any preparation and did it much better than Opt1k and with the same push it "left" for a greater distance both pads had no front lacing on Opt1k this is realized with a double layer of outer skin to which lace loops are sewn thin HD foam sheets are inserted between these layers Od1n has an outer skin coating on the inside with a soft change on which the lace loops are glued core Opt1k has already become a classic design of several types of foam point-glued together had one inner tear under the knee and a very soft boot Od1n has a one-piece thermoformed foam core with traditional HD foam glued to it from the outside between them there is an insert from the CURVE composite the same insert is located outside the HD foam Bauer also has an internal tear under the knee but a hard boot whose bend is negligible stiffness based on the core design shown, each pad has a different stiffness Opt1k Od1n rebound the stiffness of the pad directly affects the rebound the bounce on Opt1k is comparable to Premier 4 and is quite hot Bauer's rebound is significantly hotter and is accompanied by a loud sound like hitting a concrete wall knee stacks both pads have the same three-piece knee-stack design also traditionally tied to the core of the pad with a cord the knee seat on the Opt1k is covered with nylon, and on the Od1n with a special material that improves grip and has very low durability inside the Opt1k block has two layers of medium density foam not bonded to each other Od1n has very stiffness foam. the most stiffness of all that I have met there is also a small piece of Poron XRD foam in the inner valve of the Od1n the design of attaching the knee stacks to the pad for both assumes their rather loose state. at the same time, on the Bauer it is more pronounced. the disadvantage of the Opt1k knee stack for me was unexpectedly knocking the knee off the stack summary Brians Opt1k lightweight pads comfortable on the foot with good glide (relative to other materials like jenpro) quite soft (for me) with a soft boot and torsion flex in the end I really liked their balance Bauer Od1n stiffnes, stiffnes, very stiffnes virtually unbendable boot and no torsion flex incredible unbeatable glide on any ice and the hottest bounces I've tried I would have stayed in Opt1k forever if Bauer did not exist in Od1n I found what I was missing from Brians. but I'm still getting used to them

I have tried this strapping system on my Bauer 1S. but stopped it at the experimental stage without trying it on ice. know what they also do on Brians pads
