I hope they're put together a little better than most Bauer shoulders like the 1N. Almost all Bauer shoulder pads we've had needed to be repaired. The shoulder cap and arm guard needed to be reinforced and the 1N uses some thin plastic pieces to coordinate the layers of chest protection. Those break.
I'd love to see some photos of how the Pro Series are put together.
I thought I was set for the season then my son broke three sticks in one week about a month ago.
We normally buy pro stock sticks on Sideline Swap with good luck. I purchased a 67" 85 flex Warrior LXPRO and it's super. So we decided to take advantage of a super deal from Perani's Hockey World on a closeout LXPRO. They were selling them for $205 plus a 25% coupon code. We never have sticks under warranty so I thought his would be cool. Ordered December 17 and had the stick before xmas. I wrap it up as a gift. My son opened his gift and it had a big chip out of the toe. It was shipped in a box so it left like this. Perani's sent another right away. It showed up with a creaky blade. Can't believe it. My son taped it up and took it to warmups anyway. The blade completely split at the toe. He never even got to use it.
Now Warrior wants to send a new stick but says no warranty on any replacement stick coming from them. What a crock.
I just noticed the holders on my sons skates need to be re riveted. I thought the new steel we just got was loose but it's the whole holder. Many of the rivets are loose and actually move in and out.
This on a pair of pro stock (custom My Bauer) Hyperlites with very little wear otherwise.
I want to make sure the holders are straight/aligned when they're in the shop. Is that a thing? Is it hard to do? Should I expect any retail store to this correctly?
