Bauer 1X 2017 Hockey Skate Changes – Quarter Package
Bauer has continued to use their 3D lasted Curv composite which is very thermo formable. The shape of the new 1X quarter package is also Off-set or asymmetrical. The inside of the skate extends further out than the outside of the skate. As most of your power during explosive starts comes from the inside area of the foot, having a larger surface to push off from will aid in generating more power, speed and stability.
Bauer has also continued to use their Curv Composite ankle support. This replaces parts that use to be plastic and are now Curv Composite. This offers better support, stiffness and is a much lighter option.
The tendon guard is also asymmetrical offering a better overall skating experience.
Along with the asymmetrical structure of the skate, Bauer have also adjusted the position of the pads inside the skate to fit more accurately over your ankle bones. This offers better contact with your foot and the skate, better comfort and better overall responsiveness.
