On Richard's suggestion:

Because I’m prone to stacking horribly I ordered a pair of the front bumpers for my Bont Jets. They just glue on with Loctite 401, fit well and protect the front.

Highly recommended!

I also ordered the 2010 Skinsuit (just to train in) which is really high quality, a great fit, well priced and looks pretty cool.

Good stuff. If anyone else is making an order for anything from Bont directly then I'd like to get 3 pairs and a couple of XXL International suits @$15. Aleady getting scuffs and I haven't stacked in mine. My LSST suits are mostly tatty and I need some for non-racing so I don't destroy my club gear.

They still have a pretty full range of sizes for old Jets at $179 for the boots or complete skates at $339/$360 for 100/110.

I think I might have a discount code after my recent $600 order so there may be extra savings available if it's still valid but I think it expired yesterday. Really though saving on shipping from China is the main reason for joining up with others.

Apaches are $225 too, good prices if you have Bont feet.

No, I'm not on commision but closeout sales only last until the sizes are gone.

FWIW my Jets scuffed up within a few months, and I got worried... but on mine it's just the very outer surface, and they've now been fine for years.

Couldn't help noticing that the new ones have a tougher outer though!

Damn it, it's already tomorrow in Aus and they need to update China, plus it's not my order. I have emailed Evelyn @Bont anyway to see what they say

Sol, I have asked to add an extra set for you to. If they won't accept it then I'm happy to add you to an order I will make. Shipping is $25 so I'm not interested in doing a small order.

Anyone else want in?

Seems like there might be some promotion for Bont.
