Flite C-75 Skates

[Scorpion 1]

Hi,

got an offer (100 USD) for a pair of Flite C-75 skates. Has anyone some info's about them?

Maybe some info's abou the C-100?

Thanks...

I think I can help you with that (In talks with FLITE for AUS Distribution) First of all, the C100 does not come optioned as a roller setup, Ice only unfortunately. But the C75 is an absolute bargain for that price. A well built boot for the advanced player, with an Ok chassis/wheel combo to boot.

The great thing about Flite though, is it "CAN" be relatively easy to find a boot only, and then fit it out from there......... C100 boot with sprungs I'M IN LOVE!!!!!!!!!

skooled,thank you for your answer.

i have a questions left. isome one told me the c-100 would be similar to the XX, is this correct?

The two skates in question are quite different. the C100 is definately NHL quality (being worn in NHL already) and its one light skate (778 grams... I don't like the look of the bauers personally, and the Flite is more to my liking, more traditional I guess you could say.

Here is some info on both for you...

FLITE C100

"With a designed and achieved weight of 778 grams makes it one of the lightest skates on the market today. A Wickaway nylon outer shell is used to maintain (out of box) weight throughout the game. We are the first company in our industry to use the Patent pending (First Fit) Technology. System. This system has an inner layer of memory foam encompassing the ankle area, heel pads and the forefoot. As well the boot is equipped with an Eyelet ankle closure. This combined with the (First Fit) technology and the Moose suede Hydrophobic liner, allows the boot to expand and contract with the heat of the players foot while the outer shell will remain completely solid, achieving a custom fit every time.

With the ever increasing number of foot injuries we have developed a metatarsal protection plate that is inserted in the tounge of the boot. When the boot is laced the metatarsal acts like a protective dome over the foot and upon impact the transfer of energy from the puck is distributed across the metatarsal plate protecting the foot from any injury. "

Thermoformable materials mold the boot to the shape of your foot for the optimal fit

Lightweight Insta-Form® ankle pads immediately mold to the contours of the ankle

Molded anatomical Forward Flex tongue with high-density metatarsal guard provides lightweight comfort and protection against lacebite

Again, who's wearing Flite boots in the NHL?

Scorpion, I don't have a pic of any Flite skates with sprungs.

JR, off the top of my head I couldn't tell you personally, but I could ring Gerry Mcsorley and find out for you... I know marty did...

[JR Boucicaut 3789]

There were guys wearing the skate 13 yrs ago, but not anymore...big difference than "Worn in the NHL already."

[skooled 0]

No, according to my last conversation with Gerry (owner) there are current players also. I can find out for you if you like...

[Scorpion 1]

Would be nice to know....

[skooled 0]

Not a prob. I'll get a hold of Gerry tonight, and find out who's using what...

[skooled 0]

"Players in the past who have worn our product.

[JR Boucicaut 3789]

Hey, I was just going of a conversation I had with him a month or so ago. Flite didn't enter the supplier pool for the 06 07 season, and the sales figues rose.
