The Tacks Vector Plus skates are a Source Exclusive skate available for this season. In addition to the exclusive midnight colorway, the skate also includes some of CCM’s high-end features at a more affordable price point. Upgrades at this level include a Powerflex tendon, a Speedblade XS Quick Release holder system.
Boot Construction:
The one-piece boot is lightweight and constructed to fit closer to your foot and with elite-level stiffness for better support on powerful strides. The NHL-grade boot construction gives the skate elite-level durability and stiffness, which is what you want in a power-focused skate.
Liner & Internal Padding:
Same as in the AS-V series, CCM included memory foam ankle padding, a Seamless Comfort finish, and a TotalDri Pro liner into the Vector Plus to keep the skates feeling close while eliminating as much potential discomfort as possible. The memory foam and comfort liners provide that closer, more comfortable fit you want in a stiff skate.
Tongue
The Vector Plus uses a replaceable asymmetrical 7mm tongue for solid coverage and comfort. The reinforced layers and toughened padding right at the center increase protection against both impact and lace bite, and the asymmetrical aspect adds more range of movement. The tongue is fully replaceable as well, meaning you would only need to change the tongue and not the entire boot if the tongue wears out.
Steel Runner, Holder & Blade Profile:
CCM constructed the Vector Plus with their Speedblade XS holder and blade lock system. This holder is ideal for keeping your blade locked in place while making it easier and more efficient to change the steel in a pinch.
