Mission Pro Compression Girdle

[SlaterC42 51]

Mission Pro Compression Roller Hockey Girdle
 

Height - 5'7"

Weight - 175 lbs

Pant size - Medium

 

Level of play: Beer league indoor hockey, 2x a week.

Fit: These are tight fitting compression pants, that really move well with you as you skate. When I first tried them on, they felt like they hugged around my body much more than the Mission Thorax I was replacing. I ordered a medium based on my weight and was worried they may be a bit long, but they fit really well and I haven't noticed any issues. The spine guard in the back feels a bit high and my jersey does get hung up on it from time to time, but its not the biggest issue.
9/10

Protection: They are really built well with lots of protection in the right areas. Coming from a pair of Mission Thorax pants, the layer of protection has been really beefed up. I really like the thigh guards, and although the padded belt takes a little getting used to, it is a nice feature. I mentioned my jersey getting hung up on the spine guard, but it is a nice protective feature to have.
9/10

Weight: Very light weight. Given the amount of protection they offer, they really did a great job of keeping the weight down.
10/10 

Durability: They have held up well so far. I play defense and block a lot of shots and these have held up every time. So far no rips or anything.
9/10

Conclusion: Very nice upgrade from the Mission Thorax. The protection is excellent, the weight and fit are great, and I don't feel like I'm wearing overly bulky pants. The 37.5 is really nice, especially playing indoor roller hockey. I wouldn't say that they keep me noticeably cooler, but I'm definitely not overly hot while wearing them. Overall an excellent girdle for the player looking for a really solid amount of protection.

Overall Rating: 9.25/10 (37/40)
