    Hey guys!

    I need some advice with choosing a brand new pair of gloves. there are some key points:

    1. i sweat alot. ALOT, especially my hands. my gloves become to really wet after 10-15min of ice time, which caused really quick palm wearing, and i got a hole on a upper glove roughly after 2-3months of using almost every pair of gloves I had

    2. i really need a snug fit of gloves because i had some finger injuries. plus, my hands are really narrow and skinny, size is 13".

    3. I've tried gloves with a special palms inserts, like ccm tacks 9080 with kevlar reinforcements, but i felt lack ot grip and stop using them. so the hard grip is important too

    so, according everything i've spotlight above, i'm trying to choose something which gives me a nice snug fit, realy hard grip and will be durable enough to not buy a new pair once per 2-3months

    there are some of i'm considering to buy:

    ccm 9060. i had a tacks as1 and 9080, but on as1 a palm of the upper glove was completely destroyed after 2 months, and 9080 had a really bad grip for me

    bauer (2s pro, 2s, s29) - but i have no ideas what kind of palm a mounted on them because models are fresh..

    pls, help me to choose something -) maybe there are other options exist, except ccm and bauer?

    all recomendations are welcome

    thanks in advance!

    Everything else that makes these skates great, totally outweighs the slightly heavier boot. It's not even like these are heavy, just a touch heavier than the latest and greatest from Bauer. 

     

    IMO if weight is the biggest factor here, you're totally missing the point of VH's.

    Nah, come on, it's old song - where did you figure out that the weight is bigger factor for me?

    The question is why my current VHs are heavier more than 150g than previous ones (options are mentioned above) and how to get next one with adequate weight

    Hey guys!

    Maybe it is a stupid question, but anyway -))

    I have 2 pairs of VH

    First one is more than okay - it is first gen of VH (carbon toes, so on), but i was little bit wrong with measurements  - so that is why I have ordered second pair with Rob

    All i wanted is updated one with correct measurements of my feet, but I decided to add some options:

    - Hard Plastic Toe Cap
    - Double Stitching near Toe Cap
    - Liner Options -- Tan Clarino
    - Flexible tendon guard (one-piece tendon guard)
    - Black felt tongue with Enhanced Metatarsal Guard
    - Blacked Out VH Logo
    - Holders and blades - Easton CXN 280MM
     
    In the end I have got new one, they are almost okay, but they are on 100g heavier that previous ones at least!
     
    Look, i am not a "weight freak" but it is awful - in size 280mm they weight is more than 900g, it is like old Graf -)))
     
    So here is the question: how can I do my VH lighter? Maybe, one of mentions above options caused that weight addition - is it the reason?
    Please, share your experience with me
     
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey guys

    I know that it is stupid question, but sorry one more time -)))

    I'm between easton cxn holder and ccm sb4.0 for my new pair of VH

    I was fine with both of these last 2 years (cxn on makos and vhs, and sb on ccm tacks)

    I like "soft" feeling of cxn, but at the same time I like edge hold of sb, and I believe that SB holder exactly lighter than cxn...

    I'm affraid of the stiffness of sb holder + stiffness vh carbon boot will bring too much stiffness for me

    As well, I'm not sure that geometrical parameters of cxn and sb are the same, I feel that cxn has a little bit aggressive stance..

    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry for double post

    I've decided to move my question in the current thread

    Got some issues with my Makos after 7 months of using them, around 2-3 times per week

    The crack is where silver carbon meets plastic upper of boot, above heel and from outer side of foot

    It happened with both of boots, crack on right boot is deeper

    Exactly I'm not alone who face with such thing

    Here is some pics to describe:

    Is there anybody know the story about molding time?

    These ones (like my own Makos) has on box this instruction - 10 min at 92c

    But these ones want 16 min at the same temperature:

    What is the difference?! They are have a same size!

    Is there any ideas?
