Help with Jackson Mens Skates

Can anyone tell me the name of the Jackson mens' skate that is equivalent to the ladies' Competitor? Thank you.

AFAIK, the Competitor no longer has a direct men's equivalent. The Marquis is equivalent to the Freestyle (?); then there's a gap where the Competitor slots in on the ladies' side; and the men's Elite matches the ladies' Elite.

The Marquis is lower level than the Freestyle. The Jackson line does have that problem with a missing "link" in the men's section. It jumps from Freestyle to Elite. That's part of why we looked at other lines when DS needed more than the Freestyle but definitely didn't need the Elite.

Out of curiosity: is there something about the Competitor one that you particularly need????

Thanks for the information. My son currently has the Freestyle, and needs new skates. His coach told us to get the Competitor, not realizing that they don't make the Competitor for men.
