Got rid of them for some Vapor 1X on sale. Slightly more volume, even more so in a 16", which the free flex helps with having a longer pad. Anyways though, they are great pads if you have normal sized calves.

Noticed Brassard in the Re Akt 150 tonight and got some screen caps. As noted earlier, one-piece with a back piece like the CCM tacks. https://imgur.com/a/INe9QH5

Top end CCM you'll only find P28, P29, P30, P88

Friend told me it's only P92, P88, and P28. P92M on top two sticks (there are only four). Not sure how true that is, but he said he saw the catalogue. It's par for the course what Bauer has done with their other sticks, so I wouldn't expect anything. Only three different curves. I bet you CCM will be bringing the P88 to all sticks. Hopefully P30 stays with all prices; I'm eager to try it, but don't want to pay $150+

It would be neat if the All Star Game made them use retail sticks with retail curves. Bonus if you have a curve named after you, you have to use it. Ovi with a P88, Crosby with a P29, etc.🤣

Guess they should be out soon than. Hopefully around the time 1S goes on sale so I can compare S190 vs whatever new 2nd highest is

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but Sweden appeared to be wearing new Super Tacks AS1 gloves at WJC.

No problem. I'm aware of the product leaking rule, was just wondering if it applied.

Hmm, it kind of looked like a CCM Tacks play-off. Looks like the main shell is solid. Are you able to give more details? Release time, guessing next May/June?

New Bauer helmet looks to be a semi-one piece design like the CCM Tacks. If it's replacing the RE-AKT, looks like it will command $200, not a very competitive price. Bauer stuff generally seems to be priced higher than comparable CCM/Warrior. Wonder if they'll have something similar to replace to RE-AKT 100 at $120-130, to compete with the Tacks 310 and Alpha One Pro Wish they could update/re-launch the old Easton one-piece.

Difficult to tell from a front shot, but almost looks like it could be a one-piece shell. At the very least, it looks very streamlined.

More pics of the elbows @adam14 https://imgur.com/a/za3IG53

Will see what I can get tonight @adam14

I didn't get the shoulder pads, but someone here probably has. They look great, but I'd like if they wrapped the torso with the hex foam more similar to S190 pads (coincidentally looking at those to go on sale). Wish they kept the torso strap covers too. No worries about the elbows moving, especially while wearing my Shock Doctor shirt with the sleeve lock.

Got my RX3 gloves, elbows, and shins today. Have to say I'm just as pleased with the gear as I though I would be. The finish of the gear is top notch, just had one thread on the shins I had to trim (it was too long, no evidence of pulled out stitching). Tags all pulled out easily. The fit of the gloves and elbows are great. It's brand new, but already feels pretty good when stick handling. Tons of motion but no worries about protection. The hyper extension thumb protection is the best I have seen. The hex cell wrap is really form fitting and protective. The sleeve in the elbow pads is not loose, but it isn't tight enough it cuts off circulation and provides discomfort. The end of the gloves and the elbows meet up very well. https://imgur.com/fbhFrir https://imgur.com/kX3fRsb The palms and the super fabric on the gloves is nice, but there is no getting around how it seems slightly abrasive and I am worried that overtime it could wear away at my stick. Super fabric is used in some motorcycle gear and some people have complained about it scratching their bikes. Also not stoked on all the small STX logos, just kind of makes the gloves seem cluttered and like the company is trying too hard to plaster their name. All gloves have thumb logos, but I think the RX3 logo would have looked better here. The small STX on the index finger just looks out of place and I'm going to try and black it out. The side of the palm is whatever but it would look cleaner without it. https://imgur.com/43QcETk The shins are not bad. The shell provides great coverage and the liner is very comfortable. Strapped up they are very secure. Now I do have humongous baloon calves, even when I'm in great shape (right now I'm slightly overweight and losing), but I do wish for longer straps and more wrap anyways. The side wraps are good coverage, but I would prefer more. If you can see in the one picture, the rectangular stitching is the velco hooks. Had to really crank the strap to get the uncomfortable velcro off my leg, and there is still a bit there. I am worried that having to crank the straps could over stress them. I almost wish I could have the shell/liner of a 15" but the calf wraps and straps of a 16". @STXHockey if you're reading this, I would buy that product right away, perhaps call it a size + (size 15"+ size equals 15"shell/16" calves, etc.). https://imgur.com/5OO1HaP https://imgur.com/tKXanes Weights are as follows (weighed each piece and averaged, compare each weight for consistency): Elbows SR LG - R 245g, L 250g - 5g difference Gloves 14" - R 295g, L 292g - 3g difference Shins 15" - R 650g, L 660g - 10g difference 😐
