Bauer 6000 pants

i might be getting a pair of Bauer 6000 Sr. pants. Is there anything good/bad about these that I should know about?

I currently have a pair of 6000s and am very happy with them. They are a decent pant, particularly if you can pick them up on close-out for cheap.

Pros:

- Mid-level protection whithout excess bulk

- Good Mobility

- Nike Dri fit liner

Cons:

- No leg zippers

- Could be a tad longer in the legs (I'm 6'-2" and they are just slightly too short)

- Belly pad tends to sit quite low and will work its way down during play

thanks for the advice. other option was CCM Tacks Pro...but in Blue, heh. Tacks probably a better pant?

I've got 6000s as well. Nice protection and light weight. The belt buckle had a prong snap off after like 4 weeks. I was ticked off about it.

Speaking of which, does anyone know how to get a replacement for that?

The only thing that bothers me is the tailbone protector, which sticks up and out right in the middle unlike some others that have different shapes. This has caused issues when I'm parked in the crease and Dmen just put their stick on it and pull me down by it.

not enough hip protection in my say so.

gerbe, im sure if you check out local clothing or backpack places maybe you can buy one factory made buckle.
