The blocker is a blocker. But what intrigued me the most was the glove. Dare I say it's one of the nicest feeling gloves out there (I'm a big fan of a 590 closure, which this seemed to be, much like their other Supreme series gloves). The soft-touch materials inside really made me want to keep my hand in there indefinitely. It was used on the ice so it was broken in a bit. Obviously I can't say I tried it out on the ice, but the first impression I had on that glove was great.
1S pad isn't as light as they advertise. The G2/G3's are still far lighter. (I know, I'm biased lol)
