seagoal Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Perhaps it's "visually disorienting" except only to the other goalie so then you wearing these pads have an advantage over the disoriented one down ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, not a fan of Bauer pads but aesthetically I like these . I'm just being an ass. They're really not a big deal, but definitely leads to the question of: "Why?"

Nothing compared to the 1s type stuff but it is more than fair to say Bauer has more issues than some other brands overall. Bauer actually made a running change to the 2X Pro right before launch but generally, I haven’t heard too much bad since 1X Pro was launch its not as if other pads don’t wear too. If there’s an issue, please post pics and let it be known, however, let’s not bash things that might have been fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you just hold them under a finer microscope than other brands? Look up what "confirmation bias" is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The welting issue was more because with that original release they had to fold the cortech skin over itself to cover the corner that was created by having the binding at the back. That was solved mid cycle on the 1S at retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreadlocked1 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 There is clearly a beautifying or smoothing effect from the camera in those first photos. Agreed the last photo makes a night and day difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telfo Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I hope we get more details on this line soon. Really curious to know what is changing aside from the knee block. Hoping they expand the custom options quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dubnyk went from something like 4 sets to 2 sets, and Lundqvist they had to basically pry the demo set away from him to give him a new set. The original retail issues were legitimate, and the pros have EQM's to endlessly patch anything they need, but I think we're well past the concerns about general durability. Yeah...I mean...I have one of the original 1X demo sets, and while I now have the boot rip issue, the pads are far from falling apart. These pads have easily seen 600 skates in the three years that I've had them, but they still work like they did when I first tried them, and the wear really isn't as bad as it's made out to be. I feel like a lot of the chirping about durability is being done by people who haven't actually used them to any great extent. The C.O.R.Tech wears a bit quicker than traditional materials, but it's not like it just falls apart at the seams or anything. Besides, you buy these pads for performance more than durability, and they more than deliver on that front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This for sure. Do you remember the big social media buzz around the potential 1S issues when they were debuted? "DENTED FOOOAAAAAMMMSSSS!!!" That one was only going around before any of those people would have actually been able to get a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I have bought one set with 50 % discount, today on ice and I love them One issue is the inner calf wrap, because it fights with my skates. I´m using ProLaces and no boot strap. I´m going to add the boot strap and I hope, it could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
