Same here. Coming from a P28, the 90TM was a breath of fresh air. It just works.

Maybe not. They could be from a womans NCAA program. I know I have bought sub 70 flex pro stock sticks in the past. Most of which are from the NCAA or Junior programs.

The 3.1's from STX are a decent piece. Though I must admit, I returned mine. I didn't like the way the front was cut and the way the straps landed felt weird to me. I ended up with Vapor 2X shoulders. No complaints other than them being a bit stiff. They fit better and were more mobile than the other pads at that price point. I tried the Vapor X2.9's on and I did like the fit. However, the protection in the back looked a little lacking. Nice pads though.

As bunk as those flex guides are. It does put me in the flex I am currently using and feel the most comfortable with...

Oops, nevermind. I got my shops mixed up.

Wow, a 1 piece boot, XS holder w/STEP and the interchangeable tongues for less than $400! Seems like a steal to me. However, they do not appear to be part of CCM three fit system.

But he nails the tongue flop. lol

No, that mirrored visor is right where it belongs. 😉 I agree with most here, it's been done and done better. However, this looks like something you could mount or unmount fairly quickly like say for a player who's dealing with a recent facial injury. No chin cup so no pressure on the jaw. The mounting scheme is way more robust then j-clips so it shouldn't move. From that perspective I can see some value. As an every day solution, awe hell no!

Great value in both those. I have the 710, great helmet. When it comes to shins and elbows. My recommendation would be the Tacks line. It's the closet you'll get to older style gear.

I have both and the clarino is wet to the touch after wearing them and still a little on the soggy side the next day. The cloth liner on the retail 70k's isn't nearly as wet after games and they are dry the next morning.

I got to see the HyperLite skate in person today. I don't know about that tongue. I can't see it lasting all that long. Other than that, about what you'd expect from Bauer.

I have both the retail and pro stock versions. I mainly use the pro stock version. Which has held up fairly well in that regard. Not really apples to apples though. Also keep in mind, I'm a bit on the thin side.

Hmm, might be time to check these out in person. Curious, is it worth going custom plus to swap out the liner for clarnio? If I go custom plus can I get them without the holders mounted? I'm leaning towards using Edge holders.

Way ahead of you. Already had my ACL done once and various other minor sprains and tears. I deal with bouts of soreness and stiffness from time to time. That's when I wear a thin neoprene brace. Otherwise, I don't use anything, even on the knee that had the ACL recon.

This is the brace I was looking into. It's a little pricey for occasional use. https://www.bauerfeind.com/b2c/Products/Knee-Braces/GenuTrain®-Knee-Brace/p/YPBF_BAK_GENUTR BTW - I have seen an off brand version for about half the price.

Don't look now but the P46 is gone too. For those coming from a Bauer P14. The P90TM would be the closest option currently available at retail. Before moving to the P90TM I gave the P14 a whirl. I really liked it but it was just so damn hard to find.

Least you got plenty of options. I've used the ShockDoctor compression sleeve in the past. It worked well for hockey.

I find soft hinged braces to be pointless. Anyway... What did your doctor recommend?

Litterly tons of info here on knee braces. I suggest using the search function.

For sale, 1 Bauer Nexus 1N pro-stock hockey stick, Right handed, P28 pattern, 82 flex with gloss coating. Stick has been cut to 61 7/8th inches from tip to butt. It was used maybe 5 times in total. Asking $110 shipped within the US. Sold!

You might be better off swapping out those holders for something that's easily accessible.

I couldn't agree more. So I glad I switched.

CCM FT3 is on close out for $159. That P14 (Toews) is long gone. Sure you can still find some but they are few and far between. As for flex. Try a senior 70-75 flex. I find the 70 flex sticks to be just about perfect after cutting them to length.
