Good review really looking at making the switch from Bauer to true and most likely true customs. I’m so hesitant to get the svh right now bc I’m afraid they’re gonna release something for 2025. I would like to have a set of customs for both roller and ice but dang man a grand???? Kinda steep for any piece of hockey equipment…. I wanted to go try on 9x4 or 7x4 but I live in Florida and the nearest pure hockey doesn’t even have them thats a 2 hour trip the other one is 3 hours. So that’s why I’m hesitant I can’t even try on a base model What else can you say about true? Obviously it seems you would recommend customs (really on the fence haha)
Yea that's tough, a grand is pretty steep but it's almost the same as custom Bauers. But if you get custom Trues you'll love it. They'll remain stiff for so long and the 3D fit with True skates are phenomenal. Zero dead space, complete wrapped fit, I can wear them all day. Even the stock skates 9x4 and such they're really good too. I've got wide feet tho so I only have experience from customs but everyone who I talk to loves the trues if they're the fit.
100% by design every, all shin pads are supposed to go over the tongue. It make zero sense to "flop" tongue out, it doesnt let the shin pad protect properly.
Might vary from store to store but the shop I got it from is selling it for $149 so it's going to be around there. That's when it's singled out tho if you buy it with skates it's probably included or a lot cheaper. Are they worth the price? For 149 I'm gonna say no, if it was half of that and I was getting it with skates then yea. But short answer, if you hold me if I want my current tongues or spend around 149 for those I'd say I'll pass.
Thanks for the video, thinking of the second pair of True for my 8 EEE sizing.
This was actually a really good review. I wonder if you would notice the ventilation more at a ice rink?
Thanks! Yea especially with the cool air for ice, you'll probably feel it way more.
Oh yeah, ordered my Customs SVH with these tongues. Can't wait to try it!
Ooo can't wait to see!

Quick question. How much do they cost and are they worth the price?
