Reebok 20K Pump Ice Hockey Skates Review

Reebok 20K Pump Ice Hockey Skates



The Reebok 20K Pump Ice Hockey Skates are the premier skates from Reebok for 2012.  The Runner on the Reebok 20K Pump Ice Hockey Skates is made from high grade performance steel with a scalloped blade design which reduces the weight and allows for a little flex as well to give you a quicker turning radius into those turns and cuts. The same EPro Holder allows for great performance as well.  The Outsole on the Reebok 20K Pump Ice HockeySkates is very rigid so you’ll get good energy transfer through your stride and is made from a carbon fiber composite which makes it really lightweight. They also added a couple of more copper rivets to help keep it more secure to the boot.  The Quarter Package on the Reebok20K Pump Ice Hockey Skates features the Max Armour™ V. This is a multi-layered package reinforced with metal mesh and embedded, is abrasive resistant and adds a little more flex. The DSS (Dynamic Support System) found wrapped all the way around the back of the Reebok 20K Pump Ice Hockey Skates features a flexion zone which is an embedded composite zone. The fibers which are oriented at a 45⁰ provide excellent support, but at the same time help control forward flex. The second part of the DSS is the spinal zone which is also an embedded composite zone, however the fibers in this zone are oriented at a 90⁰ and 0⁰ which allows for maximum heal lock. The Quarter Package construction makes these skates heat moldable, which adds to the already great amount of customization that this skate offers and means shorter break in time. On the Reebok 20K PumpIce Hockey Skates Reebok decided to move the top 3 eyelids forward a little to give you a better wrap up top as well as a little more flex. The Reebok 20KPump Ice Hockey Skates have a generous fit profile, but are armed with The Pump® technology which allows airflow around the ankles for a great heal lock and customized fit.  The Pump® was moved further toward the back of the skate to give it direct airflow into the bladders. Reebok also gave The Pump® itself a little more protection around it. The Achilles heel support on the back of the Reebok 20K Pump Ice Hockey Skates used to be bent forward in a more aggressive stance. They decided to change it to be a little more relaxed so that you will have a better range of motion around the top of the skate. The Reebok 20K Pump Ice Hockey Skates feature a Skate Lock lacing system which allows you to tighten the lower portion and upper portion of the laces independently for a nice customized fit. The tongue on the Reebok20K Pump Ice Hockey Skates is a two piece tongue which features a Pro Felt and thick EPE Foam to give you comfort ability, durability and protection all in one. The molded Lace bite guard runs down the tongue and is designed to minimize tongue twist. It is also segmented to give great flexibility. The Liner on the Reebok 20K Pump Ice Hockey Skates features a Duratex grip for added durability and better heel lock and Clarino which is an excellent moisture wicking material to keep your foot nice and dry. The Footbed has a nice thin profile that allows for maximum energy transfer and features the Griptonite coating around the heal section to give you some more added heal lock.
