The Mission Inhaler DS5 Inline Hockey Skates (Junior, Size 4, Wide Width) are designed for beginner to intermediate players, offering a breathable, durable, and comfortable option for young roller hockey players.
*Ankle cut also appropriate for goalies, though used only as player skate.
*Wheels not included.
Quarter Package: Reinforced woven nylon with strategic wear patches for durability and a supportive structure. Features Mission’s S.I.C.K. Ventilated Quarter Package to allow hot air to escape, enhancing breathability.
Lining Material: Brushed nylon liner for a soft, comfortable fit.
Ankle Padding: Not explicitly detailed, but typically includes closed-cell foam for stability and comfort in entry-level Mission skates.
Tongue Construction: Two-piece white felt tongue with lace-bite insert for traditional fit and impact protection.
Footbed: Standard comfort EVA foam for cushioning and balance.
Toe Cap: Inhaler ventilated toe cap to promote airflow and keep feet cool.
Thermoformable: Yes, the upper is heat-moldable for a customized fit.
Lower Features:
Outsole: Injected TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) for added stiffness and durability.
Chassis: One-piece Hi-Lo Aluminum Vanguard Frame (sizes 3–5: 2 x 68mm, 2 x 72mm wheels) for a natural, balanced feel and explosive power.
Wheels: Hi-Lo Clinger XXX-Grip Wheels, made in the USA, designed for grip on outdoor surfaces like asphalt or indoor rinks.
Bearings: Hi-Lo ABEC 7 608 bearings for smooth gliding and speed.
Fit Profile: Wide Width (E/W, equivalent to EE in some brands), offering a roomier fit compared to standard D-width skates. Mission skates are noted for a slightly different fit than Bauer, with a focus on breathability and comfort.
Sizing: Size 4 (Junior) corresponds to approximately US shoe size 5. Mission uses Canadian sizing, which is 1.5 sizes smaller than US shoe sizes (e.g., US 5 = Canadian 3.5). Ensure the finger touches the end of the skate without bending for proper fit, as padding may compress over time.
Performance Notes:
Designed for recreational or beginner-to-intermediate players, suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
The ventilated toe cap and S.I.C.K. quarter package enhance breathability, making these skates ideal for prolonged play.
The Hi-Lo chassis provides a slight forward pitch for agility and speed, with smaller front wheels and larger rear wheels for better maneuverability.
