Thanks for following up.

I was wondering why I got both the ST and 7092 in clearance earlier this year, now this confirms it. Haven't had a chance to test either on the ice, but since I love the 9k I don't think those two will be too heavy :)

 

Can you elaborate on the 1" extension around the waist? Is this in the shell same as with the ST shell as the legs are adjustable for more than 1"?

So both tacks girdles have been discontinued, they were coming in a bit too heavy for what the girdle market was demanding.  The Jetspeed pulls a lot of high end features from the Super Tacks but weighs closer to a price point pant. 

 

Spine: Fixed with D3O

Hip: keep JDP caps but no D3O(D3O isnt the lightest foam so it saves a lot of weight excluding it from the hip)

Thigh straps: Vertical and width adjustability just like the 9k/Super Tacks 

Add 1" extension around the waist for increased length

Added segmentation around the back side

 

How does the Jetspeed girdle compare to the 9K. Would we be seeing the Jetspeed one in the NHL or the 9K still the king there?

Havent had a 9K in the office in awhile but they are the same design so fit should be similar, The caps are the same jofa JDP shape as the 9k but with more modern foams and materials which is where the weight savings comes from.  The Jetspeed is more accessable from the front, not as much of an internal pair of shorts like the 9k had.

 

The JS girdle is definitely available to the NHL, with everyone out of the office on quarantine and considering how deep into the season we are, we havent gotten an opportunity to pick up any juicy chatter from the Pro reps. But hopefully we will soon. There mostlikely has been early adoption by girdle wearers that wore out their 9k or tacks.

The +1 is the same concept as on the players pants, unzips around the waist so the legs drop down 1", gives you a longer fit

Ok so it is the girdle that has the zipper extension, not (just) the (bundled) shell?

RBZ line retail has always been the same as pro so I’m assuming it’s the same with the Jetspeed. CCM can correct me if I’m wrong.

 

 

Yeah my pro FT1 elbow pads are the same as retail. Would love it to have slightly longer forearm protection.

 

With the acquisition of Step Steel will they come stock (at least on the high end models?)

As far as I know, Step Steel won't be available for retail skates for now. Only custom skates come with those.
