The Easton S1 is a skate model in the Stealth ice hockey product line. Easton designed the Stealth series to address hockey player's concerns of maintaining mobility and agility on the ice while wearing comfortable, lightweight equipment.

Function

Easton's S1 skates feature synthetic quarters for increased stability and durability. They are designed to be lightweight without compromising performance. Easton's website notes that the S1 is designed for "tight cornering and all out explosive speed."

Technology

Easton's Stealth line of skates, including the S1, are made with latex foam inserts for ankle support. They are thermally activated for a custom, comfortable fit and minimized break-in period. The S1 also includes Easton's patented Bladz system, which features a lightweight blade holder with a stainless steel runner.

Sizes

Easton S1 skates are available in senior sizes 6-12 and junior sizes 1-5. The S1 model is not available in half sizes.

Price

As of August 2010, senior-sized Easton S1 skates generally cost $59.99. S1 youth skates run between $49.97-$69.99 depending on the retailer.
