Bauer Vapor APX Pants.

Recommended Posts

I was needing equipment after getting back into the game and started searching everywhere for eveyrthing.

I wanted lighter yet protective pants. I stumbled upon the Bauer Vapor APX Pants. They were on sale as last years model and the price for the level was unbeatable.

Pros: The pants are super lightweight. They offer very good tailbone, front/side thigh and kidney/hip protection. Did I mention they are super lightweight? I'm really impressed with how much mobility you have in the legs and the seat.

Cons: I find the waist adjustment just not strong enough to hold the posistion on your waist through the game. I do have to adjust them on my waist as the game goes. They do not offer a suspender option. I also find that the kidney/hip protection protrude more outward than inward, so my jersey is regularly getting caught up on the inside of the protection rather than staying on the outside. They could use a little more padding and or protection on the rear thigh side.

Overall: I like them. You do not realize you have a set of pants on when playing, and other than the jersey adjustment, I really can't complain one bit. If I skated a little better, I probably would not complain about the lack of padding on the rear thigh side.

I personally prefer girdles. Much closer fit and that generally makes the protection a lot better. Both have the same padding, just a closer fit with the girdle. My preference.
