Bauer Supreme One80 Hockey Gloves Review

The Bauer Supreme One80 hockey gloves are one step down from the Bauer Total One gloves. The gloves palm material is not leather, but is a synthetic nash material. The shell material is part synthetic leather and part stretch matrix. Mine are the Blue/Red/White color way. The gloves have a anatomical fit, close-to-the-hand-fit.

Durability:
After about a season of use, there in minimal damage to the glove. The only noticable problem is the stickyness from the knob of my stick has rubbed off and stuck to the palm(see picture 2). Others players who have purchased the glove have said the palm rips easy, but i have yet to experience that.

Overview:
The gloves are extremely comfortable with much protection. Taking shots off the outer hand doesn't hurt, depending where it hits. The glove comes in a variety of colors, to match your teams colors or to just match what you like.





Specs:

- Dual density foams featuring HX-SORB protection.
- 2 piece construction
- 2 piece flex thumb
- Thermo max plus liner
- Poly inserts

Reebok Ribcor Review

Reeboks new top of the line stick is the Ribcor. It is an all black stick with hints of a light green. the stick is supposed to deliver "Mind-Blowing Pop" as advertised by Reebok. The stick features a ribbed shaft, carbon fibers that are permantly in tension to help increase power transfer. The Ribcors SXX blade grows stiffer from heel to toe, to improve your overall accuracy. The senior version of the stick retails for 259.99.

I was using a crosby curve with 85 flex. The stick has a really quick release, I could feel my wrist shots coming off much faster and more powerful. Great for snapshot and snapshots as well, my shots increased in accuracy and speed while using the Ribcor. I could really feel the puck while stick handling. Overall this is a great stick, one of the best sticks I've ever used.



Specs:
-The stick weighs an astonishing 430g.

-The stick is in total 60 in. long (I cut off 2 in. to make mine 58 in. long)

-The blade of the stick is in total 11 in. long.

-The shaft has a 3 3/4 diameter.

Slapshot- 8/10
