Oof. Padskins the whole thing? Lose the hard rebounds and great sliding? No thanks.

It's a shame about having to wait till fall for custom graphics. I'm in this tough spot where I'm considering Optik Fly's so I can match my team. I'm wearing some all white 1X pads right now. If I'm going to wait to have to get custom graphics in the fall, I might as well wait to buy whatever replaces the 1X, so I'm looking at being unmatched for over a year. I don't even want anything fancy, just the standard 1X graphics on a black background.

I suggest the DLC. I've noticed a significant reduction in the number of times I need sharpenings as well as generally holding the edge very well even when kicking posts.
DLC is a must. The LSG3+ on my 1S skates is dull after two skates and unusable after three. I came from Bauer Pros with Step Blacksteel Extremes and I could go 6-8 skates without sharpening. It's about a $40 difference between Step or Tydan stainless and their DLC offerings. My shop charges $7 for sharpenings, so the DLC pays for itself after only three months or less of twice weekly skates. Just remember to teach your pro shop guy not to use stones on them. Leather works just fine.
