XXX's or 9K pumps???

[Crown Royal 23]

which ones are better? whats good and bad about them? <p></p><i></i>

[abantcaptain22]

id go with the 9ks but thats just me, s are too narrow 4 my feet and they tear ezily fro wut ive seen. Pmps mold to your feet because u can pump them to w/e u want, theyre lite too, but i've heard the "pop", can anyone confirm that? <p></p><i></i>

Crown Royal 23,<br>judging by the last few topics that you have started you are looking for some skates. first off there are two new pairs of nike/bauer skates out there. The One90 and i think the other pair is called One70. I think they had these at the expo on display but weren't letin people try them on. They are like the bauer 8090 that are out there right now and are eventually taking the place of the 8090 all together. Anyway they are pretty much the same thing one70 is a little heavier but for 200-250 cheeper its worth it. I also like the new vectors out there 10.0? <p></p><i></i>

[Crown Royal 23]

yeh i do need a new pair what would you suggest T? <p></p><i></i>

[TheWingMan22]

XXX's. They rule, and I wear them. So why not get them? <p>-TWM22</p><i></i>

[hockeypuck44]

i would go with the vector 10.0 <p></p><i></i>

[THE GINO]

id go with the koho 535's awesome skates i must say little spendy at 75 bucks, but very worth it. <p></p><i></i>

[icantstopthepuck]

gino hope you were kidding.<br><br>CR23<br>from my experience with skates i have used all of the kinds that have been mentioned and from what i have experienced CCM hold together the best. i did have some problems with the eye hole things pulling out on the bauers but you know thats just cause i am one ripped SOB. I also liked grafs i just got the wrong size so i had to dumpo those pretty quick. it all depends on what your feet are like. <p></p><i></i>

[playmaker92]

i think the 9ks r better. the XXXs boot is terrible they fall apart so easy but then again they r light

[rbkman87]

XXX's r real nice have had em for a while real light

[ice00breaker]

The 9K pumps are the best skate comfortable and still pretty light. The best skate on the market.

[NorthStar202]

I'd have to go with the Vapor XXX's because im not the fastest moving kid on the ice, and from what i know, they are the 2nd lightest out there. They are also very wide, like my feet, and take only a few pracitces to break them in!

[scwho?]

well id have to go with XXX because i know some people that have the pumps and hate them and some who have the XXX and people switch from the pumps to XXX so i am going to get XXX's now so you should too

[Co[D]18]

i have the vapor XXX and so does my whole team we love them

u should get them it feels like wearing socks

[zeph517]

WARNIING!!!!

The 9K's tear easily and the pumps leak. They are the biggest waste of money I've ever spent on anything!!!!!

[ice00breaker]

That is the only time I have ever heard about the pumps leaking. Must just be a bad pair or something you did to them.

[HockeyStar00]

i'm not totally sure what i think is better? i used the xxx's last year and they worked really good! i use the 9k's this year and they work really good also! so i can't really decide because both are so nice!

[Cross_Bar_In]

I have 9k's and they are the best hockey skates I have ever bought! Deffinately worth the money. I dont know what this zeph guy is talking about...

[dangelingranger-17]

ide have to go with XXX ive used them for last year and tryed some pumps and i hated them so ide stick with the XXX

[dpsaucer5]

i agree with that zeph guy my pumps leak and they have broken multiple times...there decent skates but not for teh amount you pay for them

[EL SNIPER]

I suggest CCM Vector 10.0 or Vapor XXX. My 9K's ripped and the pump popped in 3 1/2 months I paid $489 dollars for them. I t was not worth it at all I have the CCM 's. They are amazing and ive heard many good things sbout the XXX's. I also heard that RbK skates are gonna be taken off the market because they are going bankrupt.

[HockeyGuru#6]

i have the 9k's they took a little while to get used to but now i love them

[RynoHudsonRaider9]

I would say it would be the 9k pumps. Right now I have the 8k rbks, but I used to have the bauers. the rbks are a lot more comfortable.
