How would you bake the gloves? Specifically, what temps, how long, etc? Upgrading this year from the X:60 Pro to the new APX2 Pro glove, definitely interested in baking them

You can bake gloves?

Few prostock things I picked up today
I see you stopped by the Skate Zone. Would've picked up a pair or two of those socks myself if they weren't all XL+

How do you end up acquiring this ridiculous gear? Ebay luck?

Not trying to dis your new gear or anything, but why go out and buy all top of the line protection but settle for X30 skates and x40 stick?
Well, I figured the protective gear I get I'll have for a long time, and I really liked how it all fit. The skates and sticks will go more quickly. And since I'm relatively new to ice hockey compared to a lot of people, I felt as though if I started out in Vapor X60s, I wouldn't appreciate them as as much, compared to upgrading after a year or two. The stick, I'm still trying out patterns, so once I find "the one," I'll buy a nice OPS. Also, I don't consider sticks to be the most important. Skates, yeah, they're important, but starting out in ice is already expensive. another $400 for top of the line skates would be an even steeper challenge for someone funding their own hobby. I didn't grow up in a privileged family, and college is expensive.

How does this affect custom ordered skates if at all?
