Product details
Warning: New ice skates need to be sharpened
Bauer Colorado are ice skates made for recreation, built very differently than company’s hockey skates. They are made for skating outdoors and thus, have been equipped with insulating padding to allow skating even in low temperatures. If outdoor rinks and frozen lakes are your favourite spots to skate on, Whistler are made for you. They are an upgraded version of Expedition model and alternative to Whistler, offering a bit more stylish looks.
The skates come with thick and soft liner similar to ones used in inline skates. It is super comfortable right out of the box and makes skates warm. The additional padding on top, covered by artifical leather adds to the looks and helps in keeping warmth. A thick tongue helps keeping your heel locked in place – when you lace them tight, they are very responsive.
Liner resides inside a rigid, moulded shell which provides a great ankle support. It doesn’t have any ventilation openings and is pretty enclosed, which helps in keeping your foot warm. Ice skates connoisseurs (and inline skates enthusiasts) will quickly notice that this boot comes with relatively high heel rise. Not as much as in figurine ice skates or rollerskates, but still higher than in ice hockey skates or most of inline skates. This helps in maintaining correct skating stance and minimizes the risk of falling backwards. Boots have lacing hooks on top, which makes it easy and quick to put them on and off.
The blade is placed in lightweight holder and shaped to be flatter than ones found in hockey skates, for added stability. It is pre-sharpened, so skates are ready to take them out to a local rink right out of the box. Still, if you are more experienced skater, you may want to take them for sharpening, as blade grind is pretty shallow to be more forgiving for newcomers.
Bauer Colorado skates were not made to be a professional grade sports equipment, they are designed to deliver fun and comfortable gear. When viewed with that in mind, they are great pick for their asking price.
About manufacturer
Bauer is a leader of hockey ice skates as well as hockey inline skates. It can be said that after acquisition of Mission brand back in 2008, the only contender left to steal this title from Bauer is CCM company. The cake is clearly split between these two.
Bauer offers best hockey skates made with most advanced technologies used not only in this sport, but also in inline skates in general. Their technology is so ahead that only in recent years the gap has started to shrink, thanks to advancements in freestyle, speed and aggressive skates.
What makes Bauer skates so unique is that they are effectively faithful to their ice equivalents, only coming with wheels, not blades. Thus, if you really enjoy a particular ice skate model from the Brand’s catalogue, it is easy enough to find inline skate equivalent. Both lines use the same tech and the boots which help to win most high-level matches in the sport are available for off-ice play too. Of course, just like in case of ice skates, the brand provides a more budget oriented options for amateur play, too!
