I’m heading to get them on the ice shortly here so just pics for now but the set has arrived.
So, first impressions. The stiffer knee block definitely feels like it gets the pad down faster. Like the updated leg channel and the soft boot a lot. Good rebound velocity. Ice seal/slide rules.
Sizing wise.. These fit fine but I kind of think a 33 would’ve been better. 32 is their recommended size for a 19-19.5 FTK and Im 19.5-20. My knee is still in a pretty good spot on the block. The boot shape definitely effects how the pad sits on the skate. Might test them with a boot riser and see what the difference is.
Blocker feels perfect out of the box. I went with the 585 with binding since I prefer the way that blocker balances for me. The bindingless blocker feels almost bottom heavy to me.
Glove needs breakin work, gonna bake it over the weekend. 580 double T is the bees knees for me. Pocket is massive.
Getting the set in an actual game Sunday. Will see how that experience goes but I feel confident in the new stuff already
