Hey me too! I'm looking to do 7.5 EE as well.

No, ReAkt 100 has that option.

13.5" gloves... why though?

Only if you care about aesthetics. Honing has no adverse effect on performance/durability. Talking about the SB Polished of course.

They have their Premium Wheeled and Carry as well as Core Wheeled and Carry. Premium wheeled/carry Backpack styles and Premium Team and Core carry round out the full equipment bags.

A floating sternum spine isn't going to protect you if it wasn't ON the sternum/spine in the first place.

lol they weren't jabs at anyone, sorry you took it that way amiroo I hoped the 'lol' would suffice for 'not being serious'. Junkyard's right... deh39, haha I know, no one missed the point you were trying to make. I don't think you're an idiot LOL

2 sticks; pretty crazy man. You should see the stick collections of some guys here lol

Don't know, there was no color palette at the time to compare.

Why would they drop the price if they're selling well? That's the impression I'm getting. People are willing to spend more to get better protection and for many players, price is no longer a high concern. Parents and mens leaguers alike will often come up and straight up say they want the best protection. I don't think it's crazy at all, considering top end sticks have been $300 for years and top end skates pushing $900. People are becoming more educated regarding concussions and head safety. And JR's quote on pricing is bang-on.

What JR said. I'm a huge find of high end gear that has NHL-spec shoulders, is streamlined and well-fitting. The APX shoulder was good; nice and streamlined, but the rest of their protective stretching back to the Vapor XXXX days I've always found stiff and hard; unyielding. That's all changed for the better for all protective pieces. Also, I recommend you wait to see the RBZ shoulders. Small changes but a big difference imo.

Fantastic, good write up as always. I'll add a few points here as well: Apparel: 37.5 tech is their big push, especially with performance undergarments as well as training apparel for the weight roomThe unique material is woven within the fabrics and isn't supposed to wash away or deteriorate via UV radiationNew women's line adds a much requested compression jill long pantElite padded uppers and lowers with Flexorb targets goalies as well as perhaps men's leaguers (who don't want shoulders), great addition of the forearm slash guards imoNew Elite Kevlar sock changes color (I found many that were slightly discolored out-of-box, should help with shelf appeal) and adds in 37.5 as well as 10% steelHelmets: I was told an tentative (as always) AUG 15th date for the ReAkt 100Like JR mentioned, sizing range changes, closer to 9900 range rather than Re-AktSkates: Imagine a fat and short 'T' shape for the MX3 eyelets; interested to see if the wax on waxed laces will be strippedColorways: They've altered their color scheme for 'BLU' : it will no longer be the same Royal Blue as before, slightly darkerMight be an aesthetic issue for those doing team orders for apparel, jerseys, gloves etc.Other than that, I'm looking forward to seeing more of this stuff this week. You guys will hear me championing their new Vapor protective line all day, it's much lighter, more streamlined and more versatile.

Not a shot at the scan quality haha. The colors, font size, positioning and overall designs are so uninspiring and boring.

Product aside, why are Easton catalog designs always so dull?

LOL not true where I am. But at the same time, as with countless other things, that whole sentiment feels exaggerated and sensationalized to generate traffic. Unless someone did a research study?

That's fantastic. $50 is a no brainer! Same specs I use.

Thanks! The Lags is beautiful.

Lonestar, if you have time, could you take a picture of the Dolomite curve please?

Love those colors.

This. I felt that I had too much bite and couldn't turn when I first tried Step. A profile to approximate the steel that I was coming off of fixed that problem and I kept my preferred hollow.

At the Leafs game last night and saw this: http://realsports.ca/Apparel/StoreEvents/ Don't think it will be anything to write home about.

Sweet gloves! Bonafide X or Custom Franchises?

jimmy knows more than you, nananananana But seriously, he stated his opinion, just like you. Take a breath, read it again and ease off the pedal in your whaambulance It's always a competition man. lol

Thanks for the tip, but I'm ok. We won't be touching those pants anyhow and that 2-piece intrigue will be filled by something else lol

I would compare sizing charts in both years catalogs if they show them. I don't think they changed sizing at all.
