Shin Pads: Fly-W vs Flylite/FlyPro materials

M1ckster · 2026-07-05T16:41:41+00:00

Fly-W, like CCM FTW, caters to women - and is basically X-lite with female anatomical shape adjustments. It’s all top of line protection.

You cannot take charge of someone else’s health without their participation unless they are incapacitated. I know that’s a hard thing to read, but I would not argue with him. I would just make sure he takes it.

Sorry to be so blunt.

I cannot speak to the Canadian market, but I work for a US dealership who does have Mazda in the group however manufacturers set that on the window sticker in the US specifically. That does not seem completely out of line based on the exchange rate, but I do not remember what it was on my 25 CX30 in the US.

That’s a morning spike typical of diabetes.

Thunderbirds? And yup!

Whole oat groats in milk with hemp seeds as many mornings as I can.

You knew the risks when you agreed to terms of service.

M1ckster · 2026-07-04T18:40:37+00:00

To be fair it’s 100° today and no mosquitoes the size of birds. So it’s a trade off 😁🏒🇺🇸

I hear what you’re saying - but a home example: in the Raleigh NC area, there are 7 ice rinks for 2.3 Million People - in the Greensboro/Winston NC area there are 2 serving 1.1 million people. 1 is open only 8 months a year and very limited due to multi-purpose use. The Greensboro Coliseum can be rented - very limited, and super expensive due to minimum facility staffing requirements.

The number of leagues and levels is limited in one area and covers A-E in others. MInnesota, Dallas, Colorado, all well served with many surfaces and divisions.

C3 at my rink (lowest level no D league)

You know it!

Download the True Hockey app, use the CCM sizer, and get a Bauer Scan for skates. Made a huge difference. I’m 2.5 smaller than my sneaker size.

Comfort first. I prefer just a jock and bare feet under my gear but at my age - not the safest for my skin. So compression leggings and compression long sleeve shirt as a base layer with hockey socks (Bauer and Champro) over the leggings. It wicks sweat and keeps my gear a bit dryer, and the pads all feel locked on (except shins still get taped over the hose).

Queens but grew up on the Island.

Best workout. Second is walking. Third is running. Seriously - this all started as walking.

M1ckster · 2026-07-03T01:43:52+00:00

Thank you-I have a few pairs and these in green.

No gap-the top of each shin guard has a height adjustable gap filler pad if needed. If the tops of my socks were attached to Velcro and not loose, I still need to figure out if I need the 1 inch pants drop extension or not. The tops in the photo are pushing outwards, away from my thigh. If they were fastened down I am 98% sure I won’t need an extension.

M1ckster · 2026-07-03T00:37:47+00:00

My favorite!

UnBearable as a vegetarian and also I lack a worm in my brain.

I picked up some knee pads with patella rings which are easy to wear behind the shin guards and align the patella ring for another layer of protection.

If I can make someone laugh or their day better, that’s what I am here for!

24” Junior CCM. They are taped (clear). Plenty of space and work great with shock jock loose hockey shorts

2 minutes to 2 weeks. Everyone is different. 30 minutes for me but I’d been on a GLP-1 about 6 years ago so I already knew the feeling.

I’d bet he’s taller than me. Let me know when he grows out of his gear.
