Not the cheapest at $149 shipped to the US, but I needed to replace my beat up pro stock Reebok MHP520's. I got some retail 9k's a month or so back but was fairly disappointed in them. The thigh boards/plastic inserts on the 1053's were a little boxy so I've hand shaped them a little more round. There also a little stiff but I'm sure they'll break in, otherwise a great pant here. Fantastic protection while still being pretty light weight, and them seem to run a little long which couldn't be more perfect for me. They're very similar, if not the same as the pro stock CCM ECHL MHP520's I used to have. Switched out the black laces for some white skate laces... necessary *picture* Read more Are the 1053's a two-piece pant, or one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know what ya mean with the 7k's. I hated the thigh fit on my 9k's (2010), way to narrow and the opening was tiny. Unless you have chicken legs, forget about it!

Read more Do the legs have zippers? If so, opening them up will certainly help. I know I personally don't like the look of having the legs open, but if you like the pants enough then this might be worth trying: buy a shell that you won't mind cutting up, then have a tailor or shoemaker (or do it yourself if you're ambitious and confident) sew the material behind the openings the zippers create. You'll still be able to wear the pants either open or closed, and it'll be harder to tell when the zippers are open.Hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clthockey22 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2011 That's a good idea. I was toying with cutting the velcro off or both leg openings and trying that. Problem is I bought these because I used to skate with the legs unzipped on my last pair until I got a skate to the thigh. Trying to avoid that again.

Read more Here's what I did:1) Saturate ink area with 99% rubbing alcohol and then press it in to layers of paper towel.2) Saturate ink area with acetone (nail polish remover) and then press it in to layers of paper towel.3) Continue alternating with 1 & 2 until no ink is transferred to the paper towels.4) Spray on 'Spray and Wash" stain remover on the area and work in to the fabric. Let sit for 20 mins and rinse cold water. ( x 2).5) Let dry. Edited April 11, 2011 by Chadd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Read more If you sew the piece of the shell behind the opening the zippers create then the area where you were cut will be covered. You'll also be able to leave the velcro/zipper in place this way. The Bauer One95s have something similar -- if you navigate through the specs linked on this page: http://www.bauer.com/gear/player/pants/1093-BAUER#shell there's a good image of what I'm trying to describe. The Bauer description refers to an "inner pleat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
