"But this new tongue design was years in development. We never had this problem before." Well, it could be a problem now,

The newer versions of clarino are significantly different than the older types. Does it grip or dry as fast compared to the top-tier Bauer and CCM liners. No. Does it provide more comfort than top-tier Bauer and CCM liners? Yes. Does it wear better than top-tier Bauer and CCM liners? Yes. Does it repel water better than top-tier Bauer and CCM liners? Yes. Clarino is the better option if you are wanting a durable skate with a liner that repels water as opposed to absorbing it away from the foot/sock. The top-tier Bauer and CCM liners are designed to wick sweat/water away from the foot, into the liner, and then evaporate it quickly. Skates that have clarino will be slightly heavier than top-tier Bauer and CCM liners when dry (at the start of a game) but if you weigh the same skate after a game, the skate with clarino will typically way less.

That is the same problem they had with the tongue on the X7.0. Bauer just keeps making the same mistakes.

Bauer can now promote a new tongue for their next line of Vapor skates.
