I use jrz. I've used fly ti too and had no issues with durability. But with that said I'm using it on the edge holders so not sure if the combination of fly ti and fly holder causes more breakage for whatever reason.

I don't see how a cobbler can't do it....they probably didn't want to. You're honestly wasting a lot of time and potentially money just not doing it yourself. Get the adhesive Velcro and stick it on if you don't want to sew. Or use a permanent flexible glue like e6000.

My guess is partly due to differentiating between the fly and edge steel. To those keen on hockey gear we know that to look for but to the avg person, they can easily get the wrong steel. Just a guess amongst other reasons.

Did you try superfeet comfort or just the performance. The comfort doesn't seem to have as much of a high heel and arch. You can also try the thinnest superfeet that's available for shoes.

You don't need a sewing machine. unless you don't know how to hand sew at all, it's pretty simple to replace. Either way lots of places sell Velcro. You can get adhesive backed or not. If you can't sew just get the adhesive industrial grade Velcro but there's no guarantees the adhesive will hold forever. You can always use e6000 glue as well. Personally, I'd use a speedy stitcher type awl

This can only be good since Trues QC is so bad.

My understanding is people with "duck feet" is what the video portrays as the "foot shaped" shoe and how the feet should naturally splay and not be smushed. So really those with duck feet is what is anatomically "normal" but because of the crappy footwear we all grew up wearing, is not what most people have.

can you find cxn holders online?

I found the 920 sat very low as well at the back of my head,like you described with the warrior. Honestly I think this is the trend for newer helmets now. The reakt 90 was lower than my 310 but it felt comfortable and not as low as the 920. I'm really happy with my purchase

Bauer has a custom option as well. And the Bauer reakt 3d is coming out soon which will compete with the tacks x as it'll have 3d foam. I have a feeling it'll be more comfy since the reakts adjustment system is better than what CCM has.

I actually picked up the Bauer reakt 90. I went in thinking I'd just get another 310 but I tried the reakt 90 just for the hell of it and wow, a medium for perfect. I love how you can adjust the width and length completely independently. Perfect for my oval head shape too. I then tried on the 310 just for fun and realized how diff it fit and although comfy, there seemed to be gaps on the sides of my head since it's meant more for a round head shape. The reakt 90 fit just as comfortable as the 920 in terms of I could feel cushion and support around my entire head. Obviously the foams feel different but not in a bad way. I actually prefer the feel of the reakt. Feels more supported vs the nest tech. For the reakt, I'm a few slots away from the smallest and could technically make it a touch loser too so I'm very happy that I have some wiggle room to adjust. Only annoying thing is that I had to use some washers for my j clips for my fv1 bubble to fit into them properly, but no biggy. Overall very happy. It's probably the best fitting helmet I've ever had. Lesson learned to just try everything lol... Or I was just lucky and this year Bauer actually made a model that fit me great. Their adjustment system isn't new and in the past the reakts never fit me this well.

Op, scroll down to the end for a bit more detail about the ftw lid https://ca.ccmhockey.com/en/ftw-learnmore.html

I ended up returning my 920. It fit great on the smallest setting but what made me change my mind was the possibility of the foams breaking in a bit and it would make it a bit looser and I wouldn't be able to make it smaller. I've read the nest tech does pack in a touch and these memory foam things in the 920 seem like it will as well vs traditional eva foams. The 920 also sat a bit lower than I'd like. With a bubble, it would also weight the helmet down more as well. If I were to rock a visor it would have been fine since I could've worn it at the second smallest setting. Oh well. I may just get a new 310 since I'm a fan and my current one needs replacing. I just wanted to treat myself. If the ftw's shell doesn't sit as deep as the 920, that would also be a bonus. It seems like the trend for all newer helmets is that they sit lower and the rear comes down more on the back of the head. I've yet to try the reakt 155 in a medium but the small was definitely too small.

I'm from Canada and used a bunch of my Canadian tire money on it at sport chek, so I paid about half price. For those unaware , can tire money is like rewards money back that you can use at certain stores owned by the same corporation.

Op, I also found this video interesting. They talk about the ftw helmet being available soon which is essentially the 920 but shaped a bit different for women. This might be a good option for you. I am definitely going to try it out when it comes out as well to see how the fit is vs the unisex version out now.
