snipecity81 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2019 Yes, you read that right, my local pro shop is selling lots of new 9k girdles re-branded as CCM now. I want to know if anyone is still using them. Going into Junior B and wanted a little more protection, but because of their age I fear they're to heavy. Are they worth paying $180 cad for? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hollowicked 39 Report post Posted July 4, 2019 I have one and I love it. Have used it prob close to 6 yrs now. They are definitely heavy compared to pants but I can’t seem to get away from mine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hollowicked 39 Report post Posted July 4, 2019 I love all the adjustability it offers. With thigh and hip pads plus the sock holder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best girdle on the market, as long as they are the same as the 9k branded rbk ones. And I have had my pick of top of the line pants but I just keep coming back to how well this girdle works and how much protection it offers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyChicaga 21 Report post Posted July 5, 2019 I absolutely loved my 9K girdle. The only reason I switched to pants was because my legs would get ridiculously hot. The pants breathe more since they aren't fastened so close to the leg. Protection-wise I felt the 9K was above my HP45. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any medium pant or other branded medium girdle would fit me easily but the rbk 9k medium girdle was a really snug fit when new. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll probably want to upgrade whatever gear that isn't pro-level to that level. If you aren't weight lifting for legs, you should be doing that, such that whatever additional weight your pants (or other gear) is going to be negligible.
