    Oh really? No stores around me carry any cool equipment though... Did you get yours online by any chance? If so, where and how much?

    Warrior sent me them as a warranty replacement for my Super Macdaddy gloves, but hockeymonkey has them for sale as well as many other online retailers.

    Just got my gloves back from Peaches with the MSH2 palm. It really is as nice as everyone says. We'll see if the durability lives up to the hype.

    How much does is cost to get your palms re-done? Just trying to figure out if its worth it to fix my gloves or buy new ones.

    Player info: Quebec Junior AA, Quebec Senior A, Hockey Canada Level 3 referee, 6'00", 200lbs

    Skate: NikeBauer supreme One90, size 9d, heat molded

    Previous Skate: Easton 1500's, 9.5 wide.

    Usage time prior to review: Almost 3 years. Used 8-12 times a week.

    Fit:

    As I remember these fit great right out of the box, but decided to heat mold them anyways. I tried on basically every high level skate when I went skate shopping and this was by far the best fit and I knew I couldn't buy anything else. Originally tried on a 9.5 since that’s what I wore in Easton’s previously. The guy at the store told me to go half a size lower and he was right. These are really the best fitting skates I have ever had and the difference between the Easton’s was amazing. With the crazy amount of hours that I skate, I really needed a skate that fits great since I am sometimes on the ice for 6-7 hours straight, I have never had any pain or aggravations from this skate and that is what is holding me back from changing because they are now starting to fall apart.

    10/10

    Blade holder:

    Usually not very picky about holders and blades, switching from one brand to another, but this was my first experience with Tuuk's. I loved them, very responsive. I felt for the first time that the blade/holder were as one with the boot. I can really feel the power of my strides with these skates, digging in to the ice. Holder durability was kind of crappy, ended up breaking 3 holders. Should have replaced them for regular Lightspeed 2's, but since they were always breaking individually I would only replace one and kept going back to the LS2 Power which in retro-spec, was a mistake.

    8/10

    Weight:

    Not really much to say, these are light skates!!! The Easton’s felt lighter when holding them in your hand compared to the Bauer's, but when there on your feet the Bauer's feel lighter. (I know, weird!) The weight is really one of the high points of the skate. Being able to have such a lightweight skate that is so responsive it’s what separates it from the 1500's. These skates really make you forget your wearing skates!

    10/10

    Durability:

    After close to 3 years of intense use, these bad boys are finally about to hit the dust. Maybe I’ll treat my self to some One95's since there starting to be on clearance or hold out and break the bank when the TotalOne comes out. Not sure yet. Anyway back on topic. These skates are beasts, with the number of times these have been used I'm surprised there still standing. My Easton’s which I used for less than 8 months and changed due to durability issues look worse then these after 2.5+ years. The tendon guards both ripped, but I had them stitched up as well as the seems on the eyelets. The holders snapped a few times, but got those replaced as well. But all these were in the second year of having them. Chips of the carbon on the outside started to fall off early but that really no big deal and just a cosmetic issue. The fact that these are still alive and usable really impresses me.

    9/10

    Conclusion:

    Bauer has hooked me with this skate. Used to be a big easton fan boy, but Bauer these skates made me change ships, most of my gear is now Bauer and it will most likely stay that way. These skate were beyond what I would have originally expected. Have used high-end skates before, it was not like I was jumping from a 250$ skate to a 700$ skate, but the performance of this skate really made it feel that way. The performance, fit, weight, durability..... everything was just amazing! Bauer really did a great job with these and hopefully I am just as blown away with my next pair that I buy as I was with these.

    I'm in my 6th year, level 3, doing alot of high level bantam and midget games, i only wear a cup and ref shin pads, but after eating a few to many shots on the tighs last year I think I'm going to finally cave in and buy a girdle. What bucket set-up do most of you guys wear?
