I thought the same too but that liner doesn't pack much even with baking and with skating 5 time a week for 2 months. Which is a good thing for longevity of the skates but do not count on making significant length space with it. If you like the skate just go up 1/2 size. We learned from it.

So I agree with the above comment. We did bake a Graf Pro G skate thinking that it would add some length by compressing the back of the ankle area and it didn't do enough. I would go a half size bigger.

Anybody knows the weight of the fusion 2 glove? I am looking to replace a Warrior G4 glove.

Sold. Should I leave it here for people to see details and photos about the skate model in generalor should we erase the thread?

Sorry that's the moisture got to it. Great to hear that you got some good used it of it. My son was willing to trade extra weight for protection and longevity and I think this is what we got. Once broken, the mobility is great, which is something we did not expect. We got our on Sidelineswap with a significant discount. I hope you find another one.

I bought it new for my son during lockdown from a guy that needed to unload it. It was broken within 2-3 practices and mobility is excellent. Keep in mind that during practices he gets way more shots than during games. So if you play games only, it might take longer. He loves it and he likes the peace off mind of not having to worry about any pain. After a year of intense use, the protection hasn't changed and i can tell this will last a long time. As far as the weight goes, I wanted a baseline measurement during the off season when they unit is bone dry. He is practicing almost everyday and sometime twice a day, so monitoring if the unit has time to dry and doesn't become waterlogged seems likes good idea. I was also wondering if salt from sweat could build up to a significant degree.

Thanks. It is Russian specs. We bought it brand new from a guy that said it was. I thought at the time it was just a bit more padding at the shoulder. I did not know it made such a difference. My bad and thank you.

I have a JB 2200 protector size large. I let it hang dry after every ice touch. At the end of it's first season, it started to feel heavy and needed to be cleaned. I let it soak in a bathtub for couple hours with clothing detergent then rinse it out and let it soak again in clean water. I then took it out and let it dry for 2 week in our dry California garage. It has been dry for many days but it still weight 9.3 lbs. On the Brown website it says it should be under 6lbs. What could be going on?

That would be best. There is more to skate sizing than just foot length.

Bauer recommends on their chart 1.5 down from U.S.your shoe size an Graf 1 down from your shoes size. But since you only go down 1 with Bauer....You would have to try in person.

I was told that Graf is usually .5 bigger than Bauer. As far as street shoes goes, I can't tell. In our case, My son wear a size 10 shoe and fits in a Bauer 8.5 fit 1 and a Graf 9.0 Regular. I don't fit people on a regular basis, I am not an expert in the matter. I can only speak of my son's experience.

If you wear a Bauer 8 and go to Graf, I would ger a size 8.5 in Graf. 8 would be too small. My son's wears 8.5 in Bauer and True and a 8.5 in Graf are way too small even in a performance tight fit. Another, goalie coach from Canada who I spoke to had the same experience for sizing.

My son and I can fit in this one. We both wear a US size 10 shoes and Bauer fit 1 size 8.5. It seems that those would be a bit long for you. Here is also a picture of the box size chart. However, we had ordered a size 8.5 in the same skate and it felt way, way smaller. Those seems to fit the typical Graf sizing of the past which is you chose one less than your shoe size.

We need full coverage of the upper leg front and back and groin as high as possible. We had a close call last month. A player ran over my son during a practice and a skate blade found it's way inside his pant inside the leg. We were wearing Daredevils pants and the skate hit the groin area about half an inch below where the protection stopped. He got cut a bit through the protection. I cannot imagine what could have been if the cut has been half an inch higher, So i went and bought a pair of those Sync pants. They are good but I wish they were less expensive. I would also like if they would run a bit lower on the lower leg so there would be no gap between them and his cut resistant socks. https://www.syncperformance.com/products/cut-resistant-base-layer?variant=32099587981374
