I agree, the pads are great.The knee pads are good, I haven't had any issues with them. I wear them under my team socks. I tape over top the socks at the beginning and end of the knee pad to prevent it from slipping, and it works great. I haven't used the chest protector yet, but just from playing around with it, it's noticeably more mobile than my CCM Premier Pro. Feels like a solid unit.

Just got my Optik chest protector. Only special things about it other than the colours(Matte Black, Silver, Powder Blue) are suspender straps, and a Large body with Medium arms After reading some people had concerns with the arms, I was worried. Trying it on, though, I was able to loosen them up to the point where it was easy enough to get on. A little break in time, and they should be good. I can't wait!

It's strange, because I tried on the 1S and 2s in 8.5 EE, and both were too narrow. I tried the Vapor and it was wide enough. I was under the impression that Vapors fit a little more forgiving and larger than the Supreme? I have wide feet, and that's how it feels to me, anyway. I suggest trying them on. I was in The Hockey Shop in Surrey for a couple of hours, and tried on Bauer and CCM, so I was able to compare between all the lines.

I haven't skated in them yet, so I can't give any feedback on them as far as transitioning. Are you thinking about the Supreme 1S? Because I found it to be a totally different fit. The 1S didn't wrap around my foot like the Vapor 1X does, that's why I went with them. I could tell right away I would have had really bad lace bite if I went the Supreme route. The Bauer website had this image, which really helps showing how different of a fit it will provide.

I've always loved the look of the Protechsport masks. Every time I watched Mathieu Garon or Marc Denis, I wanted their masks so bad! But I was too lazy to make a face mold, and ended up with a Sportmask T3 that I'm very happy with.
