Total One NXG Pants

[Innocent Bystander 5]

Anyone have experience with these pants? I understand that they have an inner liner with a shell over them.. is that correct? If so, can a player still (comfortably) use a jock short with velcro for socks? Or are they more like a girdle where there is not really room for that configuration (comfortably)?

Thanks for any insight.

They are a girdle.

With a shell that attaches to the girdle on the sides and back.

The description on the Bauer site says "external hook and loop closure (outer component)" AND ALSO "hook and loop outer shell attachment" which is confusing. Is this to say that there are velcro pads for securing socks? Or is this all about securing the shell to the girdle?

I do not know about the answer to your question, but there is a pretty good review and discussion above.

Thank you, Cosmic.

Thanks guys. As I suspected, no velcro tab to secure socks. I will move on to looking for a more traditional pant.

I don't see why you need one. You can wear a jock underneath.

Last girdle she used had velcro tabs on it, so there wasn't an extra layer to contend with. I am sure it would fit fine, but I am concerned about an extra layer and being uncomfortable due to heat, plus she wears loose shorts with a Jill now. I would have to get her into some compression shorts as well. Now the price becomes a bit of a factor when you add the extras in.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

No, you don't.

I think you're really overthinking this. Whatever you're going to need for a pant will work on a girdle.

I personally use the Vic loose short with a cup attached with the sock velcros on them. They work just fine. Besides, the girdle is adjustable and can make room if you prefer a slightly looser fit.

I've also found some loose shorts with a jill built-in. This would mean that you're only really wearing the girdle, the shorts and underwear, which is pretty bog standard.

I wear a loose jock under my girdle. Feels no different than just the girdle and no different than the jock with regular pants.

[Innocent Bystander 5]

Interesting... I guess the next step would be some input on how you like the NXG pants compared to regular pants.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

And on the NXG it's open crotch, so definitely better than the older pull-up girdles.

Been wearing a Bauer girdle in every form since 1995. Would NEVER go to a pant.

I feel much more mobility in girdles. The protection feels fine, I rarely feel shots that glance off the padding. It's solid. The comfort and the mobility this particular girdle offers is spectacular, and I've worn both loose fitting pants like the old TotalOne (Now Nexus) and even slimmer fitting ones like the Easton RSII. These are definitely my go-to pant and Bauer's line of girdles are going to be what I stick to from now on.
