![]() Having always used a normal lace on my toe, the bungee lace is an interesting change, and perhaps the first time I’d consider switching from my trusty skate lace. The QuickSlide Technology introduced on this pad combined with the solid butterfly made sliding easy and energy-saving. Being somebody who likes a stiff pad, but also the reactiveness of a snug pad, this provided me with the perfect combo, being one of the most comfortably snug pads while also rotating fully. ![]() ![]() Given I haven’t used Vaughn many times before trying this pad, I was very impressed with the overall performance of the pad. The bungee lace allows for more reactiveness and less strain on your ankle and toes when in the butterfly, except instead of Velcro, Vaughn has opted to use a clip/hook function with a carbon fibre bridge that will strap up across the skate laces. Similar to what other brands have created, most notably the Brian's Smart Toe Strap or the E-Flex 4 Toe Straps, Vaughn has incorporated the bungee lace into their toe with their original spin on it. Lastly, and maybe most importantly, Vaughn abandoned skate lace for their toe option, switching to a more current bungee lace design. Perhaps the most notable part of this strap is the fact that is separated in the middle with an elastic strap allowing for a flexible and forgiving bootstrap adding comfort and reactiveness. Similar to the original SLR pad, the bootstrap has an adjustable angle enabling the ability to use it under the skate or through the loop on the back of the skate. Vaughn has put a new spin on the bootstrap, justifying reasons to keep wearing it as more and more goalies (and even some brands) begin to boycott the strap altogether. The attached strap fits on the lower calf right in between the other mid-calf strap and the bootstrap. The calf set up has a minor change this year, with Vaughn adding in a second calf strap for a snugger fit and a more reactive pad. As seen on the SLR and VE8 pads, this magnetic feature enables quick and easy set up while also mimicking the same functions of the original leather straps and buckles. Another cool feature is the use of magnetic buckles on this strap. This strap alone would be enough to keep the pad on without any of the other calf straps by wrapping around the upper calf, just under where the knee bends. Next, we move on to the Re-Active Rotation Control strap, perhaps one of the most comfortable straps I’ve ever tried. ![]() The proximity of Morley’s premises to us means that we can support the wider cause to be eco-friendly by having vehicles on the road for less time, and making more efficient journeys.The strapping on the SLR2 is almost identical to the strapping of the previous 2017 SLR model, with the main change to the toe and calf straps.The knee cradle strap still provides the adjustability of strapping it around the knee or down lower moving the belt around the upper calf. “Climate activism is so very poignant right now, and it is absolutely everyone’s responsibility to confront environmentally threatening issues. ![]() The slim control style of the Morley Glass devices makes them ideal for integrating blinds into any product across the comprehensive Quickslide range a benefit Ben expects to attract new business over the coming months.Īdditionally, with less than ten miles between the two factory sites the move guarantees Quickslide a reduction in their carbon footprint – an aim which Ben intends to fulfil across the company’s entire supply chain: QUICKSLIDE PRO MANUALWe have taken on two of Morley’s core manual control products the ‘C System’ which features a rotational cord and a cordless magnetic slider system, known as the ‘SV System’.Įach of these are available in traditional, timeless colours including white, creams and greys, but for homeowners wanting to make more of a statement through their windows, the choice of bright primary colours provide a great alternative.” “When it comes to integral blinds, our customers are increasingly requesting wider variation in both colour and operating systems. “Our new relationship with Morley Glass began back in December to ensure that we were ready to hit the ground running with orders in January” explained Managing Director Ben Weber. The move will be of major interest to customers, as the decreased distance and an enhanced product offering equals shorter lead times and an improved turnaround. Leading window and door manufacturer Quickslide has made the decision to put the ethos of ‘home grown’ at the heart of a new investment this year, as they announce a new partnership with local blinds supplier Morley Glass. ![]()
