Agreed. No matter how much I cinch the internal belt, or in different configurations - it simply doesn't sit high enough. I've worn the following with my RX3 pants: CCM Premier Pro, Bauer Hyperlite, CCM Axis 1.9, CCM Axis 2, and none of them have cooperated with the pants well - the Premier Pro obviously went well with the Premier pants, even untucked. I actually called THS in BC to ask them what the most tapered pant for a non-tucker would be and was advised a Bauer Pro/Elite, but again i'm also worried about the saggy jeans issue you had mentioned previously.

How high does it go up the sides? (SLR) My Warrior RX3 Pro pants have not liked any chest units I've worn untucked and the sides keep getting "tucked" when I'm scrambling around. I tie my units down via belly unit, and it wasn't an issue on my prior CCM Premier Sr pants.

Flylite, as what everyone else said it's been taken down - but you could always just look up the new bauer catalogue somewhere if you know where to find it

Comes with a terry sweatband with velcro already on there. Never used the terry sweatband and also swapped in Bauer sweatbands immediately.

I recall it was either THS or UC here in Edmonton, or both - that at the retail level in the last few years, Bauer's top selling pad by far was their Senior 3X pad (which is the mid level Vapor Hyperlite). It would make sense. Without spilling all of the beans and at a high level... Catcher is a Vapor Blocker is a Vapor with Supreme board.

They're doing an SVPro line as per Bauer 2025 catalogue. At a high level it combines some Supreme / Vapor components into the pads, hence the higher quality GSX comparison.

Wiz isn't Chris lol. Chris has a huge backlog of everything we recorded from May to August.... Lol.

Ditched the pad/blocker a little while back (and sold the home that picture was taken in) Was very comfortable in the original GSX, and demo'd both Hyperlite 2 and Shadow lines over summer - decided to just go cheap with GSX Gen 2 Sz Sr S along with a used Mach blocker off Marketplace. Had my toe ties (TGN spec Prolaces with a 2" lace slack) a tad too loose, as I had it set to the internal offset. The Cortech on the Stabiliflex Knee block and calf plate are very welcome additions. I do not feel the need for PPF on these pads. Stability was fantastic with the integrated one piece Stabiliflex knee block - created for a great seal to the ice, and never felt like I was slipping off. Lightweight, straighter, and thinner than the original GSX, but still very flexible overall. Thighrise does not interfere whatsoever unlike the 7X3's I was previously in. Black straps and darker grey nylon is a very welcome addition as well to prevent puck marks dirtying up some of the white previously on the back of the pad. Strapping has changed on the GSX2 compared to the original, with the straps coming around from the outside of the inner calf wrap compared to inside previously. Adjustment is different, and essentially uses the TuneFit 2.0 seen on the Hyperlite/2 compared to on the original GSX which is moreorless what you found on the original Vapor 1X which i've had lots of experience with as well. Rebounds were decently hot - moreso than that of the 7X3. Here is a TRUE Catalyst 7X3 Pad Review (there will be a full video review uploaded at some point, as we did record one, but here's a lower level shinny footage (and my terrible goaltending) that accompanies it): - Pad sealing and stability is amazing, Knee block, for a lace in design was decently solid. Rebounds didn't kick terribly far out. - The sliding material... Fast Glide... One word: Terrible. Other reviews have stated as such, but I cannot overstate this from my end. To even get somewhat decent sliding I had PPF applied on the knee wing, as well as the correspending area on the gusset. - FRS strapping is the best in the business. Nothing else comes close. Adjusting it so you have it at the same length each time, everytime is amazing. The way it hugs your legs, even if the rest of you feels unloved, the way it caresses your leg more than makes up for it. - Very stiff from the knee up - this is common amongst the entire lineup, this is great for most folks, however I don't have the hip flexibility to make it work for my advantage. It felt clunky in my skating as well as I consistently had the thighrises interfere with one another. - Blocker I played great in, probably the piece that made the most saves. Excellent balance, middling pop and nothing special on the palm material. Took a couple ouchies to the fingers (included a black pinky for 3 months). Oddly enough first ever blocker I've felt the puck through the board on making saves.

Agreed with you on point 2. Had a Hyperlite Chesty for a couple of months and those segmentations kept getting caught in my pants in addition to being too soft in the belly.

As a local and die hard Oilers Fan.... Stu ain't got that dog in him. Also Nurse is terrible.

I knew a few other folks who ordered too and they were stuck with year plus long wait times. Ridiculous. Constant excuses with why it wasn't getting done.

Or just buy @WizYuan's $400 CAD.

The demo set we tested, the toe toes broke about 20 minutes into the first skate....

The revelations from this thread....

As per the new 2024 catalogue, there's no senior price point for the supreme line. There's new colours on the X5 Pro stuff and that's it. Might be a strategic movement based on sales numbers perhaps? If I recall their best selling price point pad at the retail level was the 3X which points to heavier demand for squishier pads overall.
