blackhawks4ever 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2004 Just got back from my LHS. Bought my son a new pair of Mission M-2 pants but the thigh pads are very flat. Can I heat them like the gloves to reshape them??? If so what temp and time do you suggest??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't heat them too much because then it will make them softer and less protective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevo 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2004 I wouldn't heat them up at all. A teammate of mine bought those same pants and complained at first about the thigh pads. Eventually when he broke them in they fit just fine. Just break them in the good 'ol fashioned way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tie a shoelace around the thighs and when you unlace it after a day, it'll be curved (a bit less than when the shoelace was on it of course). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
