    The TRUE girdle has velco adjustments on the legs which the Warrior girdle doesn't. I would say this is more like a Warrior girdle V2.0 if anything. Also, yes, it has a pocket for a cup/jock/jill. It weighs slightly more than the Warrior girdle but has significantly more protection. It is lighter than the Super Tacks girdle.

    What did you want to know about it?

    But the IMS 9.0 I wear a small size, in a standard Re-Akt 75/95/150/200 I wear a medium.

    What do you want to know about it? Our store has them. They are very nice!

    I agree, the XS is currently my favorite holder but if these are as rigid and durable as promised I might be swayed to using them on skates other than my TRUE. I do wonder with how short the steel is, if it will break. I had this happen today...

    Correct

    Here ya go. New holder, steel, tongue, and 6K carbon weave.

    Good point, not sure about the durability and such. You are likely correct about the inability to service them. Also, I doubt they will make aftermarket steel an option anytime soon, if ever, so those players who prefer to use Flare or something other than STEP, are left behind. I wish everyone switched to a symmetrical design. It just seems silly to have left and right holders.

    Does anyone have one of these or have seen one? I am interested in how they fit compared to a standard Re-Akt helmet. I assume a small likely fits more like a medium? Thanks! Example:

    Yes

    These guys sell overseas: https://www.nordichockey.com/ On a new runner with DLC, I would imagine at least 10 full passes to get a nice clean edge.

    STEP DLC (Black) is usually very consistent, as are most other brands of DLC steel such as Tydan and Massive. Bauer LS5 is much more consistent than the previous LS4/3/2 but not nearly as consistent as most other major steel manufacturers. Sparx seems to sharpen DLC steel fine, though you may need a few more passes the first time sharpening as compared to standard stainless or polished steel to cut through the DLC coating. I would usually recommend getting any DLC steel first sharpened at a pro shop so you don't introduce unnecessary wear on your Sparx griding ring.

    Those Option B skate straps remind me of the ones they used to use on rollerblades. They might work, but man, I don't think I could deal with people chirping me every time I stepped on the ice. Regardless of the skate and its fit if you put enough force on a specific area for an extended period of time repeatedly throughout the course of a few hours, an entire day, or multiple days, you will usually get some bruising due to the repeated pressure exerted on a specific area of your foot or ankle. If you normally don't have issues such as discomfort, bruising, or blisters, I would not worry.

    To each their own. I prefer short cuffs, almost no cuff at all.
  19. VegasHockey
    Its so ugly.
  20. VegasHockey
    If you dont mind me asking, where did you get them from?
  21. VegasHockey
    They do not. Just a standard 10ft radius,

    The RE-AKT 200 and FL500 were both too bulky and hot to wear for extended periods of time. Especially that damn FL500. It was like wearing a bowling ball lined with foam on your head. It weighed a ton and was so hot all I can remember when wearing it was an endless supply of sweat pouring down my face.
  23. VegasHockey
    I personally miss the nut/screw that hed the tongues in as compared to velcro.
  24. VegasHockey
    A couple of the ASU players have them. I had a chance to try one on and it's very similar to a more advanced E700. I'm excited for them to be released soon.
  25. VegasHockey
    I don't see how that's vague. They specifically list the weight reductions and high level design changes in the boot and in the holder.
