McKenny's are a good cheaper option. Our HS team uses them for goal pants

McKenney makes a solid pant. You could also look at some of the bigger online retailers as they tend to have sales. I know that I've seen both a vaughn and an itech pant for less than 200 dollars recently. Another option would be to check out the classifieds with here or at one of the other goalie-specific sites.

I would also look into Brown, they make a really good pant and they are very affordable

Hey, I just picked up the RBK PSII pants and wore them today. They are pretty protective and very comfy. The only thing i didnt like was the internal belt because I like tucking my C/A in but that prevent me from doing so. No biggie though. I've also used Vapor XXXs before and I can say that the protection is AMAZING. Both pants feel like tanks. The Vapor XXXs however have poor craftsmanship. Hope that helps.

i went with the RBK senior (one w/o the belt)

haha I'm starting to think I should've done that too. I got the RBK pros for the price of the seniors so I couldn't really refuse the offer though. Im wearing the RBK 08 knee guards as well and Im finding that im a lot slower and everything is very packed together and bulky. The pants dont seem to work well with the knee guards because its so beefy.

ive gotten used to the beefyness but it took some time.

yea, i guess i just don't get enough time to use them because I'm not really playing much. hopefully it all works out.

For the love of god, tell us where you're finding affordable Brown gear! I haven't seen a pair of his pants under $300.
