Nike Bauer XXX Lite Pants VS Tackla Pants

Hey. I was thinking of getting new hockey pants. I'm stuck between the Nike Bauer XXX lite Pants and Tackla pants. What would I be getting from the two? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure they have pretty different fits. The XXX are more tapered. The supreme one90 is a more comparable pant.

And by the way. Does anyone know where to get Tackla pants in the GTA?

I've got a pair of XXX Lite and Tackla 5000's. (not the pro or X's, just 5000)

The XXX Lite feels very girdle-like and tight pretty much everywhere. The Tacklas aren't as tight in the hips/waist and are really loose around the legs. I feel the protection (especially tailbone) is better on the Tacklas but I feel I move better with the XXX Lite and for that reason I wear the Bauer's.

I have the XXX Lites and I haven't had any problems. They fit well and in my opinion don't constrict my movement that much. I have taken some pretty hard hits and falls and have yet to feel much pain. Overall I really like them.

Hope this helps.
