Update. I got a Total Custom Tacks X, and I have to say, it's quite possibly the most comfortable and form fitting helmet I have ever worn (no negative space). It's night and day vs the retail version, and the retail version is a pretty comfortable bucket. Interestingly enough too, the liner in the custom seems more robust than the retail version. Much less concern about any of the nest tech lattice getting "broken". The custom liner also deals better with sweat vs the retail. Now, if I were contemplating buying a retail X vs a custom X, for the price difference I would go for the custom. However, is the custom that game changing for the price if a $200 bucket works pretty well for someone....not so sure about that.

This skate was my first skate on the Mach’s. Only tried hyperlites on in the store, but I own the Mach’s. The fit is pretty great. Like you said, it’s just getting used to them now and getting some things dialed in. I started playing with tongues out and quickly switched to tongues under shins. I also ordered step steel so I’ll probably skate on that next time opposed to the fly steel and compare there. I’m fairly happy though and I’m not sure I could’ve gotten a better fit. I feel more comfortable with them being slightly too small if anything opposed to slightly too big and I’m sure I can add a tiny extra space to that left skate if eventually needed. Thanks for all your feedback during this process. It’s been quite the journey but I’m not really 2nd guessing anything at this point in time.

Doesn't matter.

The 910 and 720 fit completely diff. Hell, the 720 fit nothing like 310 or 710 either. I was very disappointed in the 720 as well.

I tried both the 720 & 910 at PH. I was horribly disappointed with the 720. The helmet would not collapse below 1/3. The liner and padding placement prevented it. I wanted so badly for it to fit too. It had the makings of a great bucket. I ended up with a 910. Just a much more secure fit than the X. The X never sat right. It's was always moving and I was constantly F-ing with it. The X was cool to see and try. For the price, I'd pass regardless of fit. If I were going to spend that type of money on a helmet. I'd spend the extra $$ and get the custom version.
