Spend the money you won’t regret it! Really well built one piece boot, newer blade holder, light weight. 600 is a value for these skates.
Too light
At first I was very happy to get the trigger 5 but after a few skates with it I was very unsatisfied. When shooting you get a quick release but my shots felt un accurate and weak. When playing the stick is too light, you get no feel in the blade and hard to get a good feel for the puck. I had a flylite and I could shoot a hard shot with a quick release and not loose the power. Also it had great feel that the Trigger lacks. This stick is overrated and not worth it
Awesome, performance-enhancing undergarment
Purchased to replace standard compression jock shorts and knee-high socks, and couldn't be happier. Garment does for your lower body what a top-quality wicking, breathable top does for your upper body - provides a comfortable, protective layer between your pads and skin. No more chafing from worn shin guards padding or breezers. Pros: Lightweight material keeps you dry and provides snug compression without a constricting feel. Allows you to move easily throughout entire skating stride. Cup is non-binding, velcro tabs are perfectly placed for securing socks, and the mesh releases heat. Thick, rubberized elastic waistband holds garment firmly around waist/belly. Cons: Some may find the waistband too tight; the fit is definitely snug. The sticky pads to secure shin guards are gimmicky and add (a minimal) amount of weight for no real purpose - no one is relying on these to hold shin guards in place. Durability: I've worn and machine washed/line dried for a month with no issue. No fraying, loose threads, pilling, or stretching. I do turn them inside-out to wash, and make sure the velcro cover flaps are secured flat. Regarding fit, I'm 5' 6", 177 lbs, with 33" waist (slight dad gut) and purchased size medium, which fits well; someone with similar waist who is up to 5' 8" or 5' 9" could still order a medium with no problem.
Tooooo short
I am 6’3”. It would be nice when I buy Adult length socks, that they were actually Adult length. These are several inches too short.
