The other day I had a chance to get some first version Hyperlites, my size, my fit. They were new and sexy. And after wearing my trusty TF7 for 1,5 years and being on ice ~2 times per week all year long I really considered this option up to the point where after a proper baking procedure and putting Bauers on next day they felt way too loose in the ankles, so much in fact I could barely walk in them.
