CCM Pants Repair or Replace

[moteef17 7]

Currently in a CCM U+05 Pant, size XL - nothing fancy. I'm only 5'11", but need the XL for overall 'girth' in the mid section and large thighs. These pants have been great, play recreational / beer league 1-2 games weekly between Oct - March. I've been in these for 3 years and finally wore through the rear part of the legging. Pants are still useful, but that tear will be growing with each use. So...

1) Repair options?

- duct tape, etc??

2) Replace options?

- Not partial to brand at this point, and I'm not sure what Bauer or Warrior sizing would match the CCM XL.

- Maybe just go with a new set of the same pants if I can find them, or some U+07's on closeout....

Ideas?

I'd replace them, HockeyMonkey still has a great deal on Pro Stock 520s and 7000s which you would be upgrading quite a bit from

The gear whore in me says replace, but if the pants are broken in and suitable for your level of play, duct tape them. I've had good luck with a strip on the inside, then another strip on the outside, sticky-to-sticky. Round the corners so they won't peel back as easily.

I would think liquid nails or some type of epoxy would work to bond the nylon together.

Quick question on Bauer pants: HM has the Supreme 60's and 80's on sale, and I've heard good things about them. would I go XXL in those pants, coming from a CCM XL?

I figured the duct tape option would be posted , that's the plan in the interim.

somewhere around here i have a roll of nylon Cooper "pants repair tape". I've used it to fix rips and hole in pants for... well, decades.... I'll see if I can locate it.... how long is your rip?
