I realize that this is a big thread, but there has been some discussion about rivets with skates like these and other composite boots (Synergy/Mako). Steel rivets don’t sink into carbon fiber well.

@customskateworks will be attending SummerJam and will show our attendees the product.

The point I was trying to make was exactly that. If he was able to skate on LS3 unprofiled this entire time, Step should feel better because it's shaped better.

They're both 10' but Stem is a bit more game-ready in relation to the heels and toes. If you skated all this time on LS3 unprofiled, Step would be an upgrade.

Thank you!

Update - today was her last chemo treatment.

Yes, it does. Wait a little bit. I promise it’ll be worth it.

Ryan Carpenter. He started playing hockey in Orlando at the rink I worked at.

Having two friends on VGK makes it easier for me.

HDI.

That “one dude” in CT has been the distributor of Tackla in the US as long as I remember. NHL usage died out once Vaughn stopped distributing them in Canada/NHL. That happened once they acquired Eagle. The rest of the manufacturers caught up and it became a niche brand.

Just get Howie's. It's the exact same lace - they're both made by Tex-Style. The only difference is that the Graf has a single tracer.

Happens more on Mako because the innersole is carbon fiber. The rivets don’t “bite” into the material, and so they get loose. Same thing with moisture/sweat.

Upgraded padding and lining. Still offer the same fit and adjustability.

Warrior's catalogue will be covered in sections; this helps support their marketing deadlines. As each product category is released, we will update the catalogue along with it. Gloves - The QREdge line is new for 2018. We'll be starting from the cuff on down. The Axyflex cuff was received very well, but it has been tweaked slightly with the QREdge. The center plate of the cuff has been flipped - on the QRL, the small edge pointed upward towards the binding. On the QREdge, the broad edge is up on the binding, and the small edge is by the cuff roll. The first plate (starting from the back edge of the glove) is also smaller. By doing this, you're getting more protection/coverage on the QREdge on the front side of the glove. The cuff roll is shorter on the bottom edge of the QREdge where it meets the back roll, but the Axyflex tab in between them is larger. Going from there, the glove is noticeably more square and thus, more lower profile than the QRL. From the thumb to the backrolls, there are less segments, yet, has the same amount of coverage. The perforated PU on that portion also has been confined to the small accent pieces on the QREdge, and SmartPalm material has been added alongside the edge of the thumb/index finger. The back roll is now 3 segments, as opposed to 6 on the QRL. The edges are much squarer as well, and the binding between the end of the bankroll and the fingers is now one piece as well. The fingers are unchanged. Still getting a SmartPalm, however, the back pad is now segmented vertically. Stretch gussets instead of mesh, and a new overlay, which is named Gatorskin. It has a texture that runs from the back pad straight through the other side of the palm. The silicone grip print that was on the QRL is now eliminated. Phantom has been replaced by Exo Protect, which is their latest iteration of foam protection, Liner is still Wartech FNC with Polygiene. $199 USD. The QREPro glove also features the tweaked cuff and the updated squaring. Nash palm. $139 USD. QRE3 features SmartPalm as well as Exo Protect and a full array of colors at $129 USD. Alpha gloves are unchanged for 2018. Pants/girdles - The QREdge pant continues on the tapered fit of the QRL pant, albeit with a few tweaks. The spine pad is reworked to have more coverage - on the QRL, the gaps between the kidney pad and the spine pad are pretty open; this fixes it. Also new is a zippered gusset which drops the pant down 1". Coming in at $179 USD in 4 colors. Also new is the QRE Pro girdle. Covert cut on the kidney protection, and more importantly, better segmentation on the rear of the kidney/spine pad compared to the Dynasty. The pad placement on the front is the same as the Dynasty, however, in the seat of the girdle, the padding cuts are different.

CCM's scan accounts for the whole foot and halfway up the shin, not just the bottom of the foot. Not sure where you figured it was just the bottom of the foot. Kick it down then re-tighten.
