Old Supreme-style cowling? Or are we talking the last generation Vertex/One100 cowling with removable runners? My Vaughn cowls are a fair bit like the old-school, which necessitated Step Extreme runners for me to even grip the ice. 

was actually a 190 cowling with removable blades. Comparing to the 2 piece "tuuk" style holders.

With a lack of local Graf dealers in my locale, I could not compare to anything. Knowing that for the most part, Graf can go without cowlings with only a removal of the cowling, I felt there just was no need to go for a more expensive (thusly current and not a clearance-priced) skate in the pursuit of going cowlingless, particularly since I wanted the CCM holder. The CCM holder has a great steel selection and a very, very nice and positive retention mechanism. I am certain the Graf holder is good enough, but the lack of steel selection greatly concerns me. I would rather switch holders on a new skate than do the conversion on a skate with wear. 
 
As far as getting back up, I always used Step or Step Extreme in my cowls, so I really haven’t noticed a difference. I am eschewing the Overdrive blades for now as I can pretty well move as well in my skates with holders versus cowls, Step Extreme and Overdrives. Depends on what type of cowl and and runner you have. 

Trying to figure out how the change would be from an old school cowling (Bauer 6000) to the new style holder.)

These skates are starting to feel more like the Graf skates that I remember. They are a bit stiffer than the leather ankle breakers I had well over 30 years ago, but I like these as much if not a teeny bit more than the Trues these are replacing. I was considering adding Kydex to the outside of the boot, but I feel that would be over kill. In the end, this boot with the CCM holder is a pretty solid set up, as you have a great boot and a holder that has a variety of different steels available INCLUDING the Step Fat Steel, plus other flavours of aftermarket runners by Bladetech and Tydan. I have to lace these a bit differently in order for my heel to lock in, but it does, as the feature of Graf boots is their heel in the lasting. Unless you have even weirder to fit feet than mine (low volume, wide forefoot and very narrow heel), buying this boot, removing the cowl and installing a CCM XSG holder is pretty well a great combo.

Did you have a chance to compare these Grafs to the Peakspeed?

Also a my hips keep getting weaker every year, do you find it easier to get up with cowlings or the new holders?

I just looked over the Brown website and noticed they no longer offer the built-in neck guards. They were really the only brand that had that feature that I can remember. I wonder if it had to do with the gap in protection between the ring of foam of the throat area and the chest protector itself. It was only connected by a piece of fabric with no padding in it. A separate throat guard would have padding in that area. The main advantage of the attached neck protector was not having to carry an additional piece of equipment around. I ordered my 2100 with the neck guard included. I did get dinged a few times in that gap over the years. I removed it last year and wear my Maltese throat guard with the 2100 now.

Easy fix for attaching:

I remove the piece of padding across the neck opening, and use a hole punch to make holes in the chesty. And then lace my neck guard into the position I want.

Be nice if thegoalienet could arrange for some promos for the rest of us idiots

fit 3,  based on having the vapor 9 d being slightly too big for the last couple of year, then trying it on  at the shop as well.

 

putting the deal won't help bc idiots will prob goto their shop and ask for the same deal instead of just ordering it from said place.

Did you find the new fit 3 to be that much more room?

6 minutes ago, DL42 said:

no, maybe 2 times in 4 years but no lot a lot.   It was a promo deal, anyone could have got a good deal. they mentioned it all over GGSU for the last 5 years or so.

Good for you

Could have added it to the deals thread here for the uneducated. 

What fit did you get?

12 hours ago, DL42 said:

745 cdn or 590 usd plus 30 cdn for shipping for the pros 

20% discount on a new skate is impressive.

Do you buy a lot from this store?

I’ve had mine on the ice twice now and the padding is ridiculous. Maybe too ridiculous cause it is super toasty to wear

Pro Skate out of Calgary has custom Hyperlite chest protectors listed. Looks interesting with the Ultrasonic arms.

Has anyone used the Ultrasonic arms? Like/dislike?

One skate done, it's really simple to install, all you need is a flat screwdriver.

Wearing it around the house it feels secure, but time will tell how it works on the ice. It did take a little adjustment to get the straps to the correct tightness. 

I don't want to use a thread locker on the hardware in the event I have to remove it, so I imagine I'll have to check them every couple of skates to make sure nothing falls off. 

The ease and swiftness with which a skate can be put on is nice, that combined with not having leather straps these days on pads will make it super easy to get ready with the time constraints we're under with covid restrictions. 

Doesn't the buckle part catch on the pad?

Coveted is the best mask for the money

2nd that. But if you want to move up to his pro carbon level it is bomb proof.

Note his cats eye has an extra thick center bar, but if you have a Bauer profile cage it will fit the 906 model

I don't really want to be the first, but that would solve the number one complaint I've had with the 1X knee pad.

I liked the padding, cut off the cap
