Spreedizzle 1 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 So here is the scoop.....I have a couple of holes in the ass of my inline pants from getting them hung/torn on the rivots on the boards while hopping out for my shift. So here is my delimma....no shops anywhere near me, and no way to try them on. I have been using the Mission Helium 7500's for a couple of years and they are about shot. These pants have been great to me except for the aforementioned holes, and the typical holes that Missions get in the stretch fabric around the knees and crotch. A feature that I love about these pants is the knee strap to aid in securing your shin guards to your legs without the need for extra tape. All of this being said....what pants would you recommend for my situation? Any help and direction would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Archangel#16 1 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 I currently use the mission wicked 5's. these things havent ripped on me yet an I've been using them for quite a while. and they too have the knee strap that you love. BTW the stretchy area on mine hasn't ripped yet because that seems like a big thing that you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spreedizzle 1 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Painted concrete for me, so the knees do take a touch of a beating. Is there another brand that has the knee straps aside from Mission? I love that feature, but not terribly impressed with the Helium line, or the new ones for that matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New features relative to the current lineup (Helium/Wicked) or are most of the changes cosmetic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spreedizzle 1 Report post Posted August 17, 2007 Sounds like my best option (based on what I know I want) will be in the Mission lineup. The only question now....is Wicked, or holding out for the new lines in the fall..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
