Tried them on recently. Heel lock was good compared to bauer but not as good as in s17 territory. Tight skate in the forefoot and would wrap well when baked i think, depth issues to be expected for a lot of people, did not seem like a deep boot at all, not sure if baking can fix that.
The extended tongue was bothering me a bit because it was not put really nicely inside. Build quality was ok, a bit of extra glue here and there and the stiching was not best at some spots.
Overall great skate but i would definately not pay 900$+taxes for this skate.

i am saying that a 8,5 mako in D is as wide as a 9 S17 in W
man do I get confused. Some say that the mako is very tight in the forefoot, others like you say its wide. If a D mako is the same as W s17, then it is very very wide (which i seriously doubt).

^ sick gloves
The sticks I am using now. All Sakic clones, 75 flex except the ST 65 flex, I got it after reading that grown men weighting 200+lbs sometimes use intermediate sticks and wanted to try this crazyness they talk about, so far not digging the shaft dimensions that Easton has but it need to try it on the ice.

Very interesting, X60/APX D was slightly not wide enough for me when I had Bauer. I guess we will get feedback very soon from members.
-
This kid does decent reviews. Here with the Mako he states that they run wide in the forefoot and got a D even tho he uses EE usually (I would guess he was informed by Easton). Not good if its the case, starting to get tired of the width of my S17, making another wide skate does not really help with negative place as they try to eliminate it.

the GF took a few when we went to play outside. Nothing special but its fun to stay outside as much as you'd like and play in the cold.

Some of my sticks:
Latest addition:
P92 vs P87A
And the P92 Lie 5 is really not that low, maybe they should consider making a lie 4. Here it is next to a lie 6 p87a.

No idea what that is, here we have Canadian Tires and Walmarts but they only carry very basic sticky velcro. Looking to order online, specifically velcro tabs similar to the ones on jocks, there has to be something.
-
Does anybody know where i can get velcro tabs for a jock?
Not regular velcro but the tabs that you can open and close.

I always remove my equipement as soon as i get home to dry. Never had to use any fancy alcohols/vinegar or whatever you people use. I wash everything in washer except pants and shoulder pads ( i have ripped them before in the washer so i just wash them in bathtub occasionnaly). My equipement has no smell and stays fresh is washed regularly (especially jerseys, jock, socks, knee pad liner).

That boot is so low cut, not sure itll be a good choice for people with weak ankles or pronation.
-
Oh i understand i didnt know that, i usually just delete them from the quote, if i dont forget that is.
-
Why do you people need to quote all these exrta large pics?
It just makes this thread hard on the eyes to read.
-
Not instagramy enough for you?
hes right.
-
that easton pant is something else.
-
I guess ill have to try the mako skate.
thank you very much for the upload.
-
Those pants look like theyre made for a guy like Chara's size
-
Lol Dublin Riot, good name choice considering the place.
-
it looks to me like the fit would be more like the mlx skate (at least i hope), it looks narrow at the heel and a tight fit overall, but thats judging from the pics. I dont think the fit would be the same as the EQ line since that line was pretty much a failure in the sale aspect, at least here in Quebec.
-
soo what is the fit like? tight heel and tight forefoot?

A really good look at the tendon guard.
very nice craftsmanship, its starting to grow on me despite the orange. Krev do you know if these fit the same as the s17? or will be narrower in the forefoot like the mlx lets say? I love my s17 but i find them a touch too wide in the forefoot.

Some interesting things i got recently.
P106 / ccm Sakic clone
beautiful rockers
Surprisingly this Midget shell is the best quality shell i have ever had, and i had 30-40 NHL shells in the last years.
Some of my other shells/invisible girdle

Not sure if this is the right thread for it, but i have an Pro stock bauer pant from the habs from the early 2000 that looks very similiar and the liner around the kidneys is the same.
-
^and in what way would that bother you? no really, its his gear, hes showing it, and if he wants to he can sell it the minute after, next day or in ten years as far as im concerned. I enjoy any gear posted here, and i hope people continue to post gear even tho some people are offended because some of the gear ends up on ebay.

Big Buff does not stick to his skates for very long does he? He seems to be changing skates all the time.
