not sure about 80a but the vault 83a are horrible in my experience. Slippery without any traction once broken in....maybe someone's cup of tea but not mine.

I tried a friends vault wheels and they seemed far from legendary. In the duro specified too.  Maybe the same compound but a different mix?

yeah, i too have 83a black vault wheels and they are terrible. The transition between grip and slip is unpredictable and theyre icy as hell. However, i have okay experiences with the 78a's, ive got 76mm 78a (translucent) wheels on my spindrift (cored the mega tsunamis) and theyre okay, especially for that price.

I question the quality of the nylon pucks they're using. I've never heard of other gloves with nylon pucks, but Vault obviously finds it a great idea. Go figure.
