Burning Bear 76 Report post Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Tempted to try the CCM CL pantsWell, I can't speak for the CL pants, but the U+12 LE's I had were pretty nice. Very light and very comfortable. Trouble is, and as someone else here had pointed out, the leg openings are huge. That can now be safely confirmed. The segment on the side makes the legs a little unnecessarily wide from back to front. I got rid of them partially for that reason. They were also a tad short on me.Bottom line: If you can get over the thunder-thigh legs, I imagine you'll be very happy with them.P.S. - Look Mr. CCM, I really want to like your pants. Please make a tall cut and bring back the narrower leg openings like you had on the last generation of Tacks pants.

McDougalfaschnitzer 32 Report post Posted July 24, 2012 I have yet to play in them, but they feel really nice. What little weight there is is very evenly distributed throughout the hips. There is very little protection on the rear (not counting the tailbone area which is fine), so I'm going to make sure not to turn my back to any shots haha.

cooperalls 4 Report post Posted July 25, 2012 George's won't do it. I contacted them to try to have a pair shortened and they said that it's really too much of a hassle. if you find a place that'll do it please let me know.I can't speak on his behalf (I think he's a member here?) so I'll just say that Peaches has done it in the past. I'm not sure if he's still willing to, and if so, what it would cost. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Too Old 1 Report post Posted July 25, 2012 Toronto Hockey can modify/repair the pants. Only downside is shipping to/from the US... they charge a bit more than they should to return items. Quality of work is superb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaron26 2 Report post Posted July 26, 2012 Hahaha they look a lot bigger in the photo than they are on, but they're from a size 9 skate and I wear a size 6 skate, tried them out tonight on a public skate and zero lace bite, the standard tongues on them had worn down and lace bite was really becoming unbearable, totally fixed now, and fitted them myself, pretty handy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet when i got mine.. i couldnt be happier.. fair enough im slightly heavier set. but i wouldnt say massive.. i am coming from old school CCM 452s from maybe 12 years ago tho.. So maybe im used to them not being body hugging? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
