Do you have a picture of the curve? I am getting ready to order on myself, but have only seen the RBK drawing and not an actual photo.

figgifumi_11 and jbyun04 - which cam do you have? your pics look pretty cool. high res + nice lighting.

Thanks, I use an Olympus Stylus 710 which is a 7.1 megapixel camera. I take all of my photos on the highest resolution (3072x2304) and then use Photoshop Elements 3.0 to adjust the color balance, contrast, and to make them internet-friendly size.

finally another 2.0 user :)

Yeah, I absolutely love that shield. The optics are much better than my Itechs and my other Oakley. I was a little apprehensive about going with the tinted visor, but I have been very pleased with it so far.

jake what kindof gloves are those?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think those are the '05 Salming PG1's.

Has anyone seen the Supreme 70s yet? I know they are not being released until June, but I was curious to see if anyone got a prototype pair. Aside from weight and quarter material, they seem to be fairly similar to the One90. Unfortuanetly my LHS will not be stocking them, so I will have to order them from Great Skate or Epuck and hope they are sized like the XXX's.

[Bauer Vapor Shift vs. XX]

Rubo,

I appreciate the offer and might take you up on it after I get fitted tomorrow. I certainly like the looks of the XXs better. :(

[Bauer Vapor Shift vs. XX]

So basically the Shifts are a better deal and you are paying for the name with the XXs. I am glad to hear that they both fit relatively the same. Any opionions on the durability of the Shifts? I play center/right wing and am generally not very rough on my skates.

[Bauer Vapor Shift vs. XX]

Well this is my first post here, so a friendly 'hello' to all. I am planning to purchase a new pair of skates in the next few weeks and would greatly appreciate any opinions you may have. In the past I have skated with an older pair of Bauer Supreme 1000s, CCM 752 Tacks, and most recently Mission Flyweights with a set of T-Blades.

I am most interested in either the Bauer Vapor Shift's or the Vapor XX. I did a search, but found very limited info on the Shift's. It is my understanding that the Shift's and the XXX's share a similar boot, tongue, and hydrophobic liner; as well as the LS2. And that the XXs have the perforated runners and a full carbon outsole.

So my question is why are the XXs more expensive than the Shifts? It would seem that on papaer at least, the Shifts are a better deal. Is there any noticable difference in weight between the two? I would love to hear from anyone who shas skated with a pair of the Shifts before. I know that it all comes down to fit, but my LHS does not stock the Shifts, just the XX and the XXX. I will be skating in them 3-5 times a week in rec leagues, pick-up games, and then eventually for a college club team (hopefully). Thanks in advance for any insight you may have!
