I haven’t been active much lately with recovery from a broken knee, and lack of ice times. I was the same, blowing good money after bad on shoulders that didn’t fit right. Before I got hurt, stopped wearing my shoulders, a pair of older Supreme TotalOnes, and started wearing a padded shirt that I made. Which was fine, until some plug who I play with and can’t aim took a shot during warm ups and bounced it off my shoulder. I put my TOnes on, and remembered how bulky they were. I went back to the grind stone ,and saw an archived post here and then it dawned on me: I had always assumed removing the caps meant the whole piece, and never considered removing the hard shells from the foam. Fast forward, a couple hours of seam ripping, and getting some donor material from a pair of older X800 SMU shoulders (mostly for the Velcro and an extra foam pad), and here’s what I have. I restrung the shells with some 10lb test fishing line and glued some Velcro on the back side for when I need the hard shells, which is rarely. The black vapor foam is if I need extra padding without needing the shells. Otherwise, just rocking the TOne foam with the bicep guards.

I’m a fat dude. 6’1” and I think my chest is 50. I wear an Edge 58+, or an Indo XXL.

Depends on the manufacturer and the version of the jersey made by manufacturer. They aren’t exactly cookie cutter. I have a CCM 56 from 2003 that fits amazing, especially with shoulder pads, and fits the same as my current CCM Reebok Edge 3.0 58+ practice jerseys. The Edge 3.0 practice jerseys I have do not fit the same as the Edge 1.0 I have from 2007. In my opinion, the 1.0 fits similar to Addidas AdiZero.. very slim. The 56 I have from ‘03 doesn’t fit the same as the OHL CCM jersey I have, Despite being made by CCM. It’s a long winded explanation that the only sure fire way to figure it out is sadly to try it on.

I ended up buyin a bunch of Harrow blades last year on SidelineSwap. Not sure if Harrow still produces them. Bought a few Left p93, and a few left p38

I swore I read somewhere here they were eliminating the Nexus skate line and having a supreme wide version. Maybe I’m dreaming.

Does anyone have any information on Bauer’s new wide skate offering (I assume is a Wide version of the Supreme)? Will the Supreme Wide be comparable or equal to the Nexus? Wondering if I should scramble to get another pair of Nexus before they are gone (8.5EE), or wait and see what they come out with.

The are phasing out the Nexus?😫

I’m hoping with the name scheme, there may be a bit of a throw back to the T90, but I’m not holding my breath. It was one of my favorites.

I’m a 44” waist, and my Bauer TotalOne (now 1N) pants fit snugly. As as for the 58/58+ being cheaper, I’ve yet to see that. I wish.
