It's just an ad teasing the skates and a new website that they have in the works.

I saw the skates this weekend. Bauer was doing the shoot for St.Louis at the rink and they had is stuff in back. I didnt get to see the gloves or sticks, but the skates where nice. The liner has been changed and the outside of the boot appears to be constructed better than the 20's. Putting these on my Xmas list for sure. I hope the rep leaves a pair of gloves for the lhs, I want to see those as well.

On Great Skate they have the Vapor XXX glove and stick up as well...

how much are those gonna run me

Just called Great Skate and they said $129.99 for the gloves, so it seems that they are cheaper than the Vapor XX series. Odd...

[Jackal3688 0]

$130 for what? The gloves? or the stick? If its the stick, thats a pretty damn good price.

[JGraz15 53]

He is talking about the gloves

[Miserable 6]

Found this part of the glove description interesting:

# Palm - Ultra-thin nash [extra set of palms included]

That's a decent deal for 130 but it forces me to ask why I would need an extra set of palms. Hopefully it wasn't done to rectify durability issues.

[JGraz15 53]

My guess is they are pro palms, which are very thin for improved feel and they know the consumer will go through them very fast and to keep the customer happy?

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

Yeah, but who pays for the repalming?

[Miserable 6]

Yeah, but who pays for the repalming?

I'm sure it's not Bauer. If the thiner palms have a life that is 75% as long as normal palms, this is still a good deal. The thing is though, why would they offer new palms with the gloves? It doesn't make sense from a buisness stand point. You have to figure that a lot of people just buy new gloves when the palms die, now they can get them replaced for the repalming fee thus hurting Bauer's new glove sales a bit.

[JGraz15 53]

No, Bauer is selling them that way. I have heard that already, it is not Great Skate

good point JR lol!

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

I had a pair of pro palms on my custom HG1s...blew them out in a month.

Then it might not be such a good deal after all.
