It's the Easton Synergy 1300 and they are light as hell and extremely comfortable. When I was first looking to buy skates I saw these at a local hockey shop around two years ago for $699.99. When I bought them in August they were $299 and now they're going for $279.
They are heat mold and if you go to the sportchek in Sunridge mall there is a girl that works the hockey pro shop that was a huge help. Most places I went to just asked what size you were looking for and buggered off. She helped with the whole process from technical questions to calling four stores to reserve the correct size I needed. |
I have an older pair of Easton Synergies--and in terms of fit and power and comfort, I love them. I do have one complaint, which is that in about 4 years of owning the skates I've had to replace both frames and both blades, along with some unexpected rivet repair once. Now my blades seem to chip and scratch really easily, so I'm always having to have them re-sharpened. I might be paranoid, but it just seems like the holders and blades might be a little over-engineered on this skate, which sacrifices durability. Just my 2 cents.
