Allsmokenopancake 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 From these two only.The reason I am limited by these two, is they are the only pants in my price range that my LHS has in my size.I am beginner adult level, so don't want to get high end pants for $150.The 4000 are about $15 more than the 5ks. If you had to choose between these two, which would you take.Also, which has the best tailbone protection. I stood on a puck a while back, and bust my tailbone, and also my tailbone protector in my Bauer 1000 pants. I have been using them since, but now I am getting to the rink more, and getting better, need new pants.Thanks for the help folks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard that about the tackla, but to be honest, they are just out of my range, so was trying to go to the mid range pant, in or around the $80 mark. The tacklas would add $50 on, and I have not seen them in my LHS, thats the online price, so have not been able to try them on, which I don't like either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sc37 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 Not meaning to hijack, I was looking at some pants too. Is the 6k worth the extra bucks? Also heard the 4000, 6000 weren't as protected. I haven't had any hands on experience with them though. Also added CCM Tacks 452 to my list (or 492...forget), they were most heavily padded, cept a little bulky and shorter. And Mission L3 which I like very much, there was tailbone padding but the butt area wasn't as nice as the CCMs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats not a huge factor from me, I am currently wearing Bauer 1000, which are probably 6 years old, I got them for $25 in play it again sports when I started, about a year ago, so feel like the snugness isn't a factor, but from what I read here, in some other threads, if I am going bauer, better spend the extra $20-30 for the 6000 as the 4000 are not overly protective Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only problem with them is if you hike up the pads, the shell doesn't. Was a pain in the ass for me. Went back to my girdle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
