Pinkfloydspig 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 I can't explain it but I have never been a fan of Bauer. I know they make fine equipment {alot of people use their stuff and they have a fine reputation}. I don't know why they just don't appeal to me This is the only brand name I have a problem with What about you ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 The last several CCM products I've purchased were of poor quality and it would take some major improvements before I purchased any more of their products. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eman24dx 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 CCM sticks for me. I just don't like the feel of them. Im not saying that if given to me or if there was a good deal I wouldn't but at the current prices I won't use them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3804 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 Agreed. Pretty much the only company IMO that makes stuff I couldn't use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadd 916 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 Any reason in particular? I know it isn't flashy or expensive enough for Vapor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CAINE 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 CCM in general but, the Vectors I've seen look slapped together and seem "plasticky", for lack of a better description. The lack of quality finishing is astonishing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 What's with all the knocks on CCM....I know it is opinon and you are entitled to it, but CCM has quite a history. I wear CCM Tacks (600 Skates and 652 Pants)...I've never had a problem with them. Again, I've never had the really high end stuff...I suppose that experience would sour you on just about everything else once you've used it.Gotta love these kind of threads...they are open to so many interpretations and opinions....Bring 'em on!As far as stuff I can't use. I'd never go back to the old Micron skates I had when I was younger *L* Other than that.Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whip 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 I really like the Hespeler gloves, they remind me of Eagles and still have some of the design of Eagles intergrated into their new gloves and most of the shafts are Inno made, they may not be exact but they are pretty close.I hate CCM gloves they jsut look ugly and when I slip them on it isnt anything special.No one here will say Eagle although I dont see anything that sets them really far apart from other gloves although they are really flashy and look so nice.

Shorthanded67 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 Wow, I didn't realize that CCM was held in low regard on here. I'll always use CCM Tacks skate boots and the classic HT2 (now 652) helmet but that's about it. I've never used a Bauer either although I''ll end up trying a Vapor XX OPS down the road sometime. I will not use any piece of hockey equipment with a "swoosh" on it. No name needs to be mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
