Skate Damage

[Siponarius 17]

I have a pair of Nexus Havoks I’ve had since release, playing 1-2 times a week. Nothing overly physical. Last week I noticed some weird peeling of the graphics, and upon closer inspection, some good cuts. Is this something to be expected with newer constructed skates?

With a tech mesh skate cuts are going to happen. Just use some epoxy and minimize the fraying.

I don’t think it’s tech mesh (I wish it was), I think it’s fiber composite. But I suppose epoxy would work regardless

Doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary.  I have much worse gouges/cuts on my older skates (most of which are composite)

They're ice skates. They will be subject to many more gashes, cuts, puck marks etc. It's what happens. I wouldn't lose sleep over it.
