Was able to get my hands on Mach at my local shop. Huge upgrades to blocker and glove. “However…comma” I wish Bauer offered a 580 break for retail. I’ve owned the 2X Pro, Ultrasonic and now Hyperlite. Hyperlite is a big improvement, the other 2 gloves were average at best. Each glove I’ve had to loosen the lace attachment to the pocket T to finally get good consistent closure. It’s not a true floating T mod…just loosened enough to not restrict palm closure.
But with the mach the did a deeper chanel on the boot so the pad Will sitt more like a hyperlite in size , but like before it was like If you were M in supreme you were L in hyperlite but thats gone
Gear I never owned but wanted: Any of the old vaughns. Actually I really like the SLR3 graphic. The only things I don't like about bauer, no custom thigh rise, the knee blocks are basically one piece so I can't add risers. Apart from that I'd totally get a pair of hyperlights, but for that kind of $$, I'd want them perfect.
