SUPREME TOTALONE NXG Skate

More range of motion equals longer, more powerful strides. Acting as a natural extension of your foot, the TotalOne NXG offers more flexibility than any other skate in the lineup. Through BAUER's patented technology where the tendon guard meets the heel of the boot, players will experience an increase of 5 degrees more range of motion. This increase in range of motion coupled with the 3-Flex tongue inserts allows you to get maximum extension in every stride providing you a scientific edge on the competition. As if that wasn't enough, the reduction in weight compared to its predecessor, the TotalOne, will help give you lightning quick feet for an even faster first step. The reduced weight enables you to stay stronger longer and not fatigue late in the game when it matters most. The TotalOne NXG, available in April 2012, is the ultimate in speed technology and skating efficiency.

  

 

                       

 

VAPOR APX Stick

The VAPOR APX stick is an upgrade to its predecessor, the VAPOR X:60, with an emphasis on optimal balance and a quick release. Ideal for the crafty player who focuses on puck handling and quick shots, the APX is a true one-piece stick that features a new patented, dual-density blade comprised of two foams that provide a softer feel for the puck. The APX also features eLASTech, an innovative new technology that enhances feel and durability while extending the life of the stick's "pop" to keep it feeling newer, longer. The APX shares the same flex profile as the X:60 - known as Intelli-Sense Shot Technology, it features two kickpoints: a lower kickpoint for quick wrist and snap shots, and a second, higher kickpoint for hard slap shots. Intelli-Sense "senses" the type of shot a player is taking, activating either the lower or higher kickpoint depending on the placement of the player's bottom hand.

T3, a new USA patented product, works in synergy with your muscle groups - creating a shirt that allows for unrestricted movement.

 

In hockey, a great deal of arm, shoulder and torso movement is required to perform these functions properly. The patented structural design of the T3 shirt works in harmony with all the muscle groups associated with performing these tasks. It allows for freedom of movement, improving your endurance and negates any binding that normally occurs with other shirts. The T3 design also eliminates the discomfort of your shirt "riding up" normally expected with all other compression fitting garments.
