RBK 6k or 8k pants?

[tyler33 0]

I am going to need some new breezers pretty soon since my tacklas are pz'd out. I thought I would give RBK a chance. It looks like the 6k and the 8k are the same, is it worth dishing out the extra money for the 8ks? The only thing I am hesitant about is the back protector. Anyone opinions or reviews would be great, thanks.

How serious a game do you play? If it's contact go with the 8K for safety sake because you can't put a price on your protection. If you play no contact or little contact the 6K should do you so why put out the extra cash if you don't have to. ;)

High school hockey in WI, next year possibly juniors. Im thinking the 8k then but I would like to try them on. I hope my LHS will order both pairs and let me try them on.

Have you ever used tackla's before? If so how do they compare? The only thing I dont like is that back protector, can you even notice it?
