Currently own ultrasonics and they are fantastic but a few things are enticing me to switch to hyperlites. One, I prefer 590 break gloves. Two, my flexibility is not great right now, and I may benefit from a slightly softer thigh rise.
My main concerns are custom ordering the new pads. I would likely go a flex between US and hyperlite (the hyperlites look a little too soft in hockeyreviewCA video). In terms of the knee block, I dont mind the US knee block and how rigid it is. Can anyone who has tried both speak to which one they prefer and why? Im worried about moving to the hyperlite knee block and not liking it. Boot flex - the US lack of flex doesnt bother me, but maybe i could benefit from a little more boot flex. Thick or thin is kind of my question.
Im still in the research phase here, so I would definitely talk to a rep before ordering. Just want to hear from people who have owned both or at least one or the other.
