I can help you out a bit. You can use an old pair of shin pads as your shin pads, work like a charm. Use your normal cup, and elbow pads as well. My referee pants I got at local store, a smaller version of Wal Mart, they look identical as the "real" ones, and they cost $10. I don't wear a girdle, so I can't help there. This has nothing to due with your question but it's a suggestion.

A couple of my favorite online official's stores are:

The Official's Wearhouse - http://www.officialswearhouse.com

The Referee's Closet - http://www.refscloset.com

or if you're in Canada:

First Place Sports - http://www.jetnet.ab.ca/FirstPlaceSports/

If you're needing a RED sewn-banded referee jersey, this is THE place to get one. They're about the only place you can get a CCM referee's jersey with sewn on red bands. I've seen other shops with sewn banded jerseys by other manufacturers, but IMHO they don't look as nice as CCM's.

You could probably get away with using an inline hockey girdle. Gear makes one that goes for around $20-25. It's not very protective, but it's very slim.

I just ordered one of the gear girdles the other day.

The guy who runs the referee's closet is a ref, seems like a good guy too.

Try Ebay, they occasionally have some good deals on there.

All of our officials wear these kind of girdles too.

I've bought from Jim's online store (The Referee's Closet) a few times and have nothing but great things to say about it. He is a good guy and good to deal with. He's also a frequent poster on the HockeyRefs.com forum.

Another company you may be interested in is a relatively new company out of Vancouver, BC called PG that makes referee equipment. Their website is http://www.pghockey.com. I've seen some of their gear at The Hockey Shop-Source For Sports in Surrey, BC and it looks to be of pretty good quality. I'm seriously thinking of buying their pant/girdle combo when it's time to get rid of my Stevens.

I prefer the SP jerseys and pants to any of the other brands.
