Tackla 951 pants

Was wondering if anybody has these pants. Are they light , are they bulky ? Is there any place other than the HockeyShop in B.C. Canada to get these ? I'm sure shipping would be crazy !

I have a pair. Love them. There was a break in period in terms of the padding for me - it seemed like there was a gap where if I fell on my hip just so, I would still feel it. No, I have no such problems (or maybe I've just mastered falling on my duff). I think they're perfect for beer league (have taken shots off them with no problem and haven't had any problems with "incidental" collisions).

I have had these pants for the last 3 years and they're pretty good. More protection than I need and surprisingly durable at a decent price. Not bulky at all, at least not anymore (can't remember if they felt bulkier when they were still new). Plus they were the longest pants I could get at the time.

This may also help

One other question. Do these pants have segments in the legs to help conform to your legs ?

I'm pretty sure that all Tackla pants have 2-piece thigh-guards if that's you meant.

National Sports in Hamilton (and I would assume elsewhere) has them for $100 Can until tomorrow.

Can't say enough about Tackla hockey pants. The 951's are an excellent pant providing very good protection,flexibility,ventilation and comfort. I would wear these anywhere up to the semi-pro level or minor contact hockey. Their durability is very good as well. Be aware however you'll need to adjust to the different fit if you switch over from a North American designed hockey pant.

I had these pants for 5 years before padding was getting loose and stitching falling out but it was worth the money. The only thing that i had to complain about is also falling on your ass issues lol as they hurt like a bitch most the time because of the gap that joe was talking bout..

IMO the best set of hockey pants money can buy, ive had numerous sets over the years, and only got new ones cause i grew out of them

they're great!

I have these too. I wear them in a couple beer leagues and they have held up great playing 2-3 times a weekfor 5 years. I have no plans on replacing them anytime soon

I did get slewfooted a couple weeks ago and went down straight on my tailbone. As a result I have a pretty bad bone bruise that's taking forever to heal up. I don't think any pant would provide protection in that area so I doubt it's the pants fault.
