Bauer Supreme One.8 vs Bauer Supreme TotalOne NXG Pants

[CaptainCanuck16 0]

I am looking into moving to a girdle style setup and like the way the Supreme line fit. I have tried on the TO NXG and love it but the One.8 is about $50 cheaper.

Is the TO NXG worth the extra money? How long will the girdle setup last? I have concerns of it not being as durable compared to regular hockey pants.

Currently playing with Bauer Vapor XXX pants. I have read the TotalOne NXG Girdle breakdown and found it useful but haven't tried on the One.8 or seen them in person to compare. Have not seen them at the LHS.

Thanks for any/all feedback!

I think I read the one.8 is the same as last year's TO girdle

Is the outer shell and the NXG girdle worth the extra $50? I don't know how the total one girdle is compared to the total one NXG.

Each one has an instructional video accompanying the description. I have to stop watching because they're just making me want to buy the TO girdle and I have no business spending that much money on pads right now.

.8 internal pads are same as last years total girdle where this years updated to rib pads and added poron plus the slightly padded shell

Basically you want to think of the differences between the two from a protection and shell features are:

PROTECTION:

NXG = PRO LEVEL (Poron, molded Vent Armor foam, additional coverage)

ONE.8 = PERFORMANCE LEVEL (HD foams, traditional molded poly, slightly less coverage-mainly in the front panels)

SHELL:

NXG = PRO LEVEL (800 Denier Nylons, added padding. The padding does two things. 1) It adds a bit of protection. 2) Also helps to prevent board burns)

ONE.8 = PERFORMANCE LEVEL (400 Denier nylons, no padding)

I realized the fit / movement is quite different.

Had the issue of NXG interfering with shin guards - experienced One 8 to move more easily and still great Protection.
