What hockey pants would you get?

Question

Would you get the vapor xxxx "core pad" http://www.hockeymonkey.com/nike-hockey-pants-vaporxxxx-corepad-sr.html

or would you get Easton S17's or CCM's VO8 Vector pants?

need some help choosing here, but if you were choosing between girdles, would you get the vapor xxxx, the on90, or the easton synergy?

Answer 1

the Easton  S17's...my bro has them and they're great, he also has the easton synergy, he just likes the way everything looks, feels, and protects everything....i personally like ccm, but he says go with easton

Answer 2

Being the old school guy that I am, I use a Cooperall girdle and put a shell on top of it. Fits like a glove, awesome protection.

Answer 3

get tackla pro mods and wear the zippers open. they amazingly protective and it feels like all you have on is a belt! im sure anyone whos done the same will agree!

Answer 4

None. Get the Tackla Pro 5000s. All tackla makes are pants, and you can be d**n sure they make the absolute best.

Look at the diagram on this page: http://www.tacklahockey.com/5000_pro.htm

fits like a girdle where you need that closeness, and is out wider where you want the protection there. It's basically the best of both worlds- and certainly the best pant you can buy.

And I'm never going to buy Bauer pants again- when you lean over, the buckle pops open and your pants fall down if you wear them tight. I generally advise against them for pants.

Answer 5

the vapor xxxx  i might get them soon. they are awesome pants!

Answer 6

I would get the one90 girdle. I used pants from when I started playing at 4 until last season (13 years) when I got the one90 girdle. It is less protection, but they are so much more comfortable and barring any serious injury I will never buy pants again. My friend had the synergy girdle and they fall apart. We both bought girdles about the same time and he went through 3 synergy pants, then bought the one90 and I'm still using my first pair of one90's.
