Some of my stuff, yeah quite a bit of sherwood, i know lol

NBH Vapor XXV skate Reviewer background: 6'4", 215 lbs, 10EE, Wing, both left and right, the odd time centre, on the ice usualy 5-6 days a week , intermediate skating experience Fit: Fairly good fit, i had them fitted and baked at a LHS where the guy knew what he was doing and they are a little narrow right at the toe cap and it rubs fairly hard there, found ways to fix it/deal with it though. 8/10 Blade/Holder: Seem to be holding up well, in my last two pairs (easton synergy 300's and rbk 3k's) i had a holder break in both pairs i rlly dont have any complaints about the blade/holder. 10/10 Weight/Protection: I really like how light these skates are, i had gone with cheaper skates before and therefore dealt with heavier skates, i decided to upgrade to more expensive saktes thsi year and love them, didnt see much a of weight diff. while holding them compared to the XXXX's, i have taken some shots in teh foot and again, way better protection than in my older cheaper skates. 10/10 Durability: They are holding up very well, i skate with a hockey class at my school 4 days a week, and weekly hockey practices with my team, so they got alot of use this year and they are in very good shape except for the odd scuff which doesnt really matter. Seem to be very durable so far 10/10 Intangibles: The skates look very nice, almost identical to the XXXX'S, and i also found no break in period with them, except on the toe cap where it will still rub a bit after using them for 6 months. 8/10 Conclusion: I really like these skates, although i dont really have much to compare them to, they are the first pair of somewhat higher end skates i have used and they seem to be fairly good. The rubbing in the toe cap is a little annoying but more likely a poor fitting job than the skates fault. An affordable good quality skate, i would recommend to anyone. FINAL: 8.5/10

Yeah but he is still showing off his gear ...

Large Mission Intake Fit - The helmet fits realy well, i have no problems or complaints with the fit. 10/10 Protection - Now ive been rocked a couple times wearing this helmet and ive had no head injuries or anything, compared to my old helmet which i got two concusiosn with in one yr. 10/10 Weight - It is very light, i really cant tell there is anything on my head when im skating, it is amazingly light... very nice 10/10 Durability - Mine has held up fairly well through 2 years now, the foam in some spots seems to of almost dissapeared and it seems to scratch and scuff fairly easy, although most of that is probably my fault... 8/10 Intangibles - The helmet doesnt "over-heat" at all... very good airflow and that is prob the reason i like it so much. It also looks fairly good although i think it seems so sit kind of high compared to the rbk or new ccm helmet, some of the reviews say no sweat drips down on there visor, i have found that some does drip down on my visor and face ... not a big issue though 9/10 Conclusion - I love this helmet, looks good, protects good, keeps your head cool, its durable, it isnt to expensive, i dont know what else to ask for in a helmet, i love it 9.5/10
