Skate comparison: Bauer One95 and BauerOne80

Recommended Posts

I am looking to get my son into a new pair of skates> Obviously the one95's are great skates that can be gotten at a good price. How do they compare to the new Bauer One80's? My son is a strong skater, 1st year peewee and very small if that helps the equation> Thanks for the help.

Well, the One 95's would be better than the One80's. Mainly in terms of the material used in the quarter package. Then there'd be minor differences with the material in the boot and design in the tendon guard. The One 95's edge out. Both are very good skates though.

Thank_you for the input. Along the lines of materials and things. I am told the boot is quite stiff and my son not being the heaviest player out there, thoughts on that as well as breaking in? Thanks again for the help!

The boot on the One95 is stiffer, yes. I only weigh 130 lbs and use Reebok 9ks which are stiff since they're a pro level skate. I like a stiff skate, I think as long as he's a good skater they should be fine. Also, I think the One95s will break in pretty quick, since they're completely thermoformable, meaning that when you bake them, they will fit to your sons foot, and that will make them fit better from the beginning, so the break in process will be easier. Now that being said, hes still only a peewee and One80s would probably be fine for him. But if you can get One95s on closeout for cheaper (or close to) the One80s, I would take those.

Keep in mond that most hockey boots are thermoformable, meaning that they are designed to be heat molded. This gives the advantage of a better fit, less negative space, and the significant reduction of break-in time. I am only 150lbs (38 years old), and I wear a 3 stiffness boot (one level higher than retail). Stiffness is more a matter of preference than weight. Most NHL players wear a 2 stiffness.

Interesting stuff, I have been a little mislead. Thanks.

Are all Heat treatments comparable? CCM F.I.T., etc, or are some better then others?

Geez, 150lbs on a #3 stiffness? Do you skip any of the top eyelets or are you Superman?

I think the F.I.T is just the name for CCMs oven. On the skate box it says the time and temperature you should bake them at. As long as its a skate oven, I think they're all the same, but Im not positive on that. You can even do them in a home oven, but to be safe Id go to your LHS.
