    I tried to resist, honestly. But i convinced myself by stating that i could really use a second pair of mitts for our tournaments this summer with multiple games per day so i gave in - although my buddy at the LHS tried to bait me with a pair of CCM 4052 in black and orange which also looked gorgeous but i simply love the tight fit of these Supreme.

    And they fit my favorite team's colours ...

    After re-reading your post i see that you were talking about X1.0 and X40 and not about X30 and X40 - this numbers game is really confusing ... In Germany we have the X.0 as an absolut entry-level skate, maybe this is the predecessor to the X30 which could explain the similarities between X40 and X1.0.

    Of course they have different quarters and linings, they're at different price points!

    I don't think you'll be the only one out there who will be confused lol

    Easiest way is to follow the line up from the X 30 (there will be people who will add the ':' colon and, in the process, confuse everyone else), which is similar to the X1.0/X:05 and go up from there. But it's weird because in the catalog, the X 40, which should be the equivalent to the X2.0/X:15, has copied the features list almost word for word from the X1.0. It's most likely going to be the case of the former comment as it lines up with the X100 = APX, X 90 = X7.0 relationships as you follow the line down.

    Also in this year's catalog, it says that the first skate in the line (going up) to have fully thermoformable uppers is the X 80, which is supposedly the X6.0 replacement. In last year's catalog, the first skate with that 'feature' was the X5.0 (X 70 this year?), but in practise, the X4.0s were stiff enough to be baked that I'd recommend doing those and very rarely did I get people baking 3.0s because they were so much softer. So perhaps this year it would be the same with the X 70-X 50 practically speaking.

    Actually in the catalog that i downloaded from here each Vapor skate has a different quarter package and lining ...

    I'm just wondering why Bauer chose to go from X:nn to Xnn via Xn.n with different starting numbers. And is the X4.0 so much stiffer than the X3.0?
