ouhockeyplayer 1 Report post Posted June 7, 2011 So I just picked up a full pair of Jiri Hudler pants, and I am quite surprised by the construction of them. The inside of the pants uses a hard foam that I haven't experienced before with pants. The back side of the pants are almost like a jersey/mesh material. from what I understand he is very picky about his pants and has them completely custom made. I will have to add a belly pad to them because the way the belt tightens around me is kind of uncomfortable. Anyway, I thought they were cool, so I thought I should share Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ouhockeyplayer 1 Report post Posted June 7, 2011 Didn't know that. I really got away from Easton stuff after college, and I have been primarily Bauer/Reebok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkStar50 680 Report post Posted June 7, 2011 Is the right side kidney pad higher than the left side? It looks that way in your photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouhockeyplayer 1 Report post Posted June 7, 2011 No, they are the same. It is just how the pants were laying when I took the pic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkStar50 680 Report post Posted June 7, 2011 Ok, thanks. Maybe it should be a custom option for the shooter! I'm only 5'6" so I prefer really short/small tapered kidney pads on my pants. I still wear old Vapor 6 pants that have this feature for just that reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Law Goalie 147 Report post Posted June 7, 2011 That padding looks a lot like a diamond-shaped version of McDavid's Hexpads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouhockeyplayer 1 Report post Posted June 8, 2011 The padding makes the pants feel really light, but I will be interested to see how an impact feels with them. They are not that usual soft/cushy feel you get with other pants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
