ramensandwich 1 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 This question is for those of you that have CCM Pro Tacks Pants. I like the fit and protection of CCM pants but this question is specific to the Pro Tacks.The pictures I have seen of them, the kidney protection (the part that says CCM) seems to sit higher on the body than the other tacks models. I guess what I'm saying is, the distance between the top of the pant and the top of the thigh board appears to be longer on the Pro Tacks than my current pants, the 652 Tacks. Is this correct? This would be very desirable for me. Sorry, but I don't have a shop to go look at them.Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your picture never loaded for me, so I never saw your pants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
