What are your likes and dislikes about your current pants? Tight, loose, short, long, heavy, light, gaps, ugly, etc?

they are fine except the lower back protection because it always hurts if i fall or get checked but other wise they are good all round

Shaney,

I've had retailers say the tailbone padding in our Protector Lite goes lower than many of the other brands. You can look at them at Salming USA. Go to Hockey, then Skates, Pants, Gloves, etc.....

Actually, Europe's the easier place to find them, since Salming Sports is headquartered in Sweden. If you go to their website, Salming Sweden, you'll see a store guide toward the bottom.

6000's are nice pants, they protect well enough for me and are very mobile. I don't have them but I have tried them out and they would probably be my next pant if it weren't for the 8k coming out. And if they are accesible(sp?) to you in Europe then that's good too.

I dont think bauers have zippers so juss something to think about.

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

No, the Bauers do not have zippers.

8K is a killer pant, a little costly however. I also like girdles.

looks like im going to have to save up for the 8k then

[twiztidwrista10 3]

Why not try the 6k??? Its cheaper and has a lot of the same concepts as the 8k.

I have always had this exact problem with pants and I just recently got the Itech HP 8000 pants and so far so good.
