Tackla 5500 air Pants

Looking for some help on these pants. Has anyone ever used them? Where can I find info on them? Are they any good?

In my opinion Tackla makes one of the best hockey pants on the market. The only concern isn't really adequate protection but wheather you like the European style fit. I wear the 5000 Airs and they are great for protection and mobility but a completely different fit from the Easton S-9's I used to wear. I prefer the tighter around the waist and looser at the legs fit of the Tacklas. You'll have to figure out which fit is best for yourself before you purchase the 5500's. I personally find North American made high end pants more restrictive but very protective and a bulkier fit.
