    Mostly because they don't look good. ;)  They're very akin to street hockey pads. 

    Coop your comments are applicable on certain colors - the black and yellow set we see all over, not sure why CCM has picked such an ugly set to promo their pads ?

  2. Two very good looking sets - really like the colour schemes that we can choose with these pads

    Look forward to seeing the actual sets

  3. Fully agree on your point that they are growing on you, I already like them. I have to say that the faded zone I also like, that’s the area that plays tricks on my eyes.

    Other than aesthetic’s that look like they are very flat on the ice when on the B fly which most goalies will appreciate.

    Speed Skin is more ice dependent than CorTech or Primo. It works well on great clean ice. If you’re on bad ice or choppy ice, it has a bigger performance loss than the competition. 
     

    I can imagine a high end young goalie like @Big2 ‘s son is usually on a decent sheet and likes it. 

    My league rink has an undersized generator and the Midwest humidity is brutal. Speed Skin does work as well in August for me as it does it January 😂

    Rinne and Saros use Speed Skin. As I’ve heard the story, Lefebvre and CCM did not see eye to eye on Speed Skin. As a result, it was not stocked by Lefevre in anything but white and not promoted to the pros. 
     

    With CCM owning EF4 and Axis pro production now, I expect this to change. 
     

    TGN thanks for chiming in. I originally went with the speedskin based on your comments last year and looking back we made the right choice !

  5. Really I certainly can’t comment but will look into this. Not sure what he’ll be wearing next year, he has been asking about Bauer but I told him that there cheap, maybe they perform well but cheap I won’t be forking out the $$ for Bauer’s. if he wants a pair he will have to pay for them !

    That material is proprietary to Brians... Because Mike Vaughn has a stake in Brians he is able to offer it thru Vaughn.

    Jenpro or Weave is far superior to speedskin  

    Cwarmar in what respect are the two other products better than speedskin ?

    My son’s premiers are 100 % speedskin - there are no wear issues, not sure about slide-ability but no pre mature wearing and his on the ice on average 5 days a week for nearly 9 months a year.
