Choosing pants

[Furyan 1]

Hi guys!

A few weeks ago I had got an injury of my right knee.

After that I tried to skate (I mean "recovery" skating) without my pants, shoulder pad and helmet, I wear only shins, elbows, gloves and my old "hockey" suit.

I was very surprised because I've got a lot of mobility in my feet, it was so incredible! I skated so two trainings - and I was starting feeling myself as advanced skater!

However, after this I tried to skate with my all equipment - and unfortunately my legs were very slow and unmobile.

All I think about it - it's my PANTS, they steal my mobility and quickness.

So, here is a question.

Now I use Mission L7 (size XL), with inserts from my old Easton Z-Air - they are tanks!

But I think, if I'll change my pants for more flexible, but with lower protection - it will help me increase my skating level.

How do you think, is it right?

And finally, which one pants could you recommend as change for me?

I wear Vapor XXV's and it feels like I'm not wearing pants at all. Very little protection though, just enough not to get bruised when falling. Tacklas have a lot of protection with a lot more leg movement if you can try some. And I've heard good things about the Supreme line of pants having more protection while still having good flexibility and movement.

my fuel 110's have plenty of protection and when i skate with the legs unzipped are very mobile. favorite pants to date.

for me i've always felt that a girdle gives me the best mobility. I use the CCM ice pro when I played and still used it for the beer leagues and pick up.

There have been tons of threads about pants vs. girdles, all very full of information that address the mobility question:

Thank you. Personally, blaming any lack of mobility on pants strikes me as funny.

I'm a big fan of my One70 pants. I go from playing in-line with my tiny girdle to ice without any noticeable difference

You should stop thinking about yourself so seriously

I'll second that. Mobility in the 110's was a big improvement over my old Vic's.

I really like my 5k pants too. Wouldn't mind a bit more protection though.
