The Easton EQ40 Ice Hockey Skates offer a great value with excellent performance at a reasonable price. The EQ40 offers many of the same features and construction as the EQ50 ice skates, such as the Fusion 2.0 foams in the quarter panels, Uni-body construction, and Ideal fit system. The greatest difference is that the EQ40 skates feature Texalium composite in the embed zones, and feature a micro fiber liner.

The Synergy EQ40 is built with Easton’s new Hybrid Fusion technology. This technology allows Easton to laminate a supportive, composite outer upper with formable, inner foam. Easton has used their Uni-body construction to mold one-piece of the fusion foam 2.0. The Fusion Foam 2.0 has unbelievable heat moldable properties, to offer a true custom fit. The EQ40 features three key composite embed zones using a Texalium glass composite. The side wing embed zones allows for a more responsive and explosive feel, while the embedded flex tendon and heel give a solid stable feel.

As for the out of the box fit, the EQ40 offers Easton’s Ideal-Fit System. This system encompasses the foot with anatomically molded foams. Easton used molded foams to drastically increase the initial comfort of the skate, and to accommodate foot types that just didn’t seem to fit properly in the stealth series. 

The Synergy EQ40 will be complete with Easton’s innovative DryFlow outsole. DryFlow outsoles feature vents, which release moisture and excess heat. This allows the skate to remain dryer which will help keep the skate lighter late in the game. As well, removing excess moisture will increase the lifetime of the skate.
