New pants

[Chadd 916]

Light is never something I would say about Tackla pants. In any case a few ounces here and there really don't matter in any beer league. If you want light, get a pair of low end pants. The only way a pant will reduce your speed is if they restrict your movement.

im liking the new tackla pants the 951. thats a nice lil pant. good protection and everything

Really? I heard the Bauer 3000,5000,6000 series are super heavy! I think I'm going to look at the Tackla pants. I heard they are light and good for speed.

well the old 5000/3000 might have been heavy, but the newer 6000 are defenately light. I don't know what light compares to, but compared to all the other mid to high end pants they seemed light.

My 6000s are feathers and they provide adequate protection for what im playing. Midget AAA/Prep. If you know how to take a hit the protection with the 6000 is there.

I have the 8k and I think it's a very well-padded pant. There aren't any gaps in protection and the tailbone is well-padded.

It seems like if you'd adjust the length of the pads that there would be a gap in the padding. It sort of seems like mine has a crease where the hanging pad meets the up top, kind of like a crease in a baseball glove or goalie glove, I havent gotten a puck there yet though. Other than that the pad it self goes down to my shin pads and touches it. Where my pads meet my shin pads in weird because it doesnt feel right if I tuck then in or tuck them over, any advice?

yea so i switched from my old ccm supras to a new pair of easton synergy pants and they were so light i could skate so much faster

I must be out of it because I didn't understand a word of that.

My old CCM 520s are better than a large portion of the new pants.

Another for 6000s. They are extremely comfortable, light, and protective. Another plus is that, for a good pair of pants, they're not that hard on the wallet. If you have the $$ though, I would suggest the Nike Quest 1s.

Doesnt it seem like that if you tried to make the pads on 8k pants come down further that there would be some protection issues?

chadd what color are your 520s?

[Chadd 916]

Black

nice ive got a red pair of red wings, what size?

[Chadd 916]

Don't recall. I haven't worn them in a while. My M1's are about dead, I may have to dig up the old 520s soon.

[warrior37 0]

you think going from 520s to a new pair of ccms would be a smooth transition because i tried a pair last year and hated them?

[Chadd 916]

I hated the CCM pants over the last few years. I thought Corry said the new pro tacks are "based on" the old supra design.

I think they are designed to go up, not down...easier to subtract than to add length...

Anyone here play with Jofa pants, how do you like them? And JR or others, what kind of Jofa model pros players usually use?

[Cavs019 710]

I have a pair of jofa 5000s, its like skating in a tank

do they feel heavy as a tank too? Because I was actually looking at jofas recently too...

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

If any of you guys fit in a XL, I have a pair of Jofa 7000 prostocks that are barely used.

I don't know of any light tanks, so yes.

Well some people refer to thier light sticks, skates, or gloves as tanks, so I was curious if you meant in terms of protection and durability vs. weight.
