IPv6Freely 2092 Report post Posted June 12, 2019 2019 Tackla TP4500 girdle and CCM Tacks 9040 shoulder pads. First shoulder pads I’ve worn in a LONG time. I still find the Down Low shoulder way more comfortable but much less protective. The girdle is great. Very tight fitting but also very stretchy. Always wanted a girdle but every one I’ve tried has always put things in the wrong place or been problematic for a guy with a gut. With these, I found that once I removed the belt from the waist and moved it down between the hip pads and the kidney pads, it sat right where a belt normally would on me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gosinger 122 Report post Posted June 12, 2019 @IPv6Freely very interesting girdle, could you maybe share your thoughts after a little use on how it compares to e.g. the One95/T1/NXG/MX3/... or the Project? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IPv6Freely 2092 Report post Posted June 12, 2019 Well I mean, its basically the same girdle Tackla has had for what, 40+ years? The foams may be updated and stuff though. I always liked the idea of the T1 and the SuperTacks girdles just being wraps, but because I'm a "round" guy, if you know what I mean, I had a lot of difficulty with things staying in place. Stuff had a tendency to shift down because of the belly and the love handles. So I don't think my opinion is going to mean much to you unless you're also that shape. That said, the pads on this thing are huge and... bubbly? Kind of weird. But I definitely like how it fits out of the box. I'll get it on the ice next week maybe. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giltis 116 Report post Posted June 13, 2019 My CCM Tacks Girdle felt so tight when I first wore them, I almost returned them, but after adjusting the leg straps and about a month or so everything kinda fell into place. It fits me perfectly now, I couldn't go back to regular pants anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been wearing that girdle for a while. Pretty much the same as the old Cooper CG2, assuming the padding is a little better. Somehow I lost my shell though so I am wearing Tackla pants again, not bad but a little roomy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IPv6Freely 2092 Report post Posted September 18, 2019 Well, this is what happens when you buy a sewing machine. I took the stripes and patch off a Warrior MSH Winterfest pant shell and put them on a Bauer girdle shell. Also just for funsies, here’s a fitted cap I took apart and rebuilt to make it go from a 7-5/8 to a 7-3/8. Im thinking I might start making goalie accessories. Toe ties, suspenders, etc. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
