bunnyman666 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 So, what impact does the "skinny pants" NHL rule have on Warrior's pants? I have succumbed to calling them "pants". Anyway- the neat thing about the Ritual pant is that the waist is 29-38" and the sizes correspond to inseam. BRILLIANT idea. Anywho- what is going to happen for Joe Beerleaguer? A guy like me needs large waist and short inseam. I don't want to hack up every pair of breezers that I buy in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KootenayKeeper Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I don't know but I've always called them pants and never heard of the term breezers until recently. What does that mean anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I'm getting some pro return pants tomorrow... I'm finally succumbing to this last rule change, but will hold off on the skinny pants PS- Some old 420 pro returns will be available soon!

What does that mean anyway? That's they were called in some parts in North America. In England, "pants" is a dirty word. "Hockey Trousers" sound silly. I can't even remember what they are called in England. Maybe hockey pants? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Don't fit over most knee guards & you can not tuck in your C/A with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Technically it doesn't really need to fit over knee guards. As long as there is some kind of overlap as to not leave an unprotected gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10airknight Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Sorry for the error. It appears that someone beat me to fixing that. Thank you to the person who did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 I was toying with building my own "skinny trousers" version from an NOS Vaughn Vision girdle and lowers from player breezers. I haven't gotten too far with that. On another though, however- can't wait 'til the bigger pants get blown out on clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hills Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I thought they can still tuck, just in a different manner. That would be a big fighting point for me is the tucking. I don't do it to get more coverage, I do it to make sure everything stays put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever tried staying untucked but still running the suspenders over the c/a? That's what I do and it works perfectly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is more of the fact that I like my chest and the sides to be as tight as possible against my body, running pants under the bottoms of that would pull it away.

I decided to wait it out and see if it would fix itself and it basically did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the opposite. I like to have some space in there for air-flow. I tried tucking it in, but I get so hot that I can't hardly stand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srsieve Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Yes, agreed. That space collapses and cushions the shot, which makes it easier to contain it in your glove without having it bounce too far away from your body. Not to mention less impact forces.

REB_34 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Warrior Custom Order and Retailer Wait Times Just curious on your thoughts about certain retailers having "preferred" production times. I recently ordered a set of Custom G3 from a smaller local retailer. I wanted to support local business. This was around the time Warrior was advertising avg 6 week turnaround. My retailer quoted me 10 - 12 weeks, I figured that is the standard time they say for all custom orders. I placed my order on mid Feb. During that week, I was discussing with a friend who was on the fence about a custom order as well. After we spoke, he decided to place an order as well but with a larger retailer out east. To my surprise his set is already done and is being shipped to him. I asked him when he placed the order and he said end of Feb. According to my retailer, my set is due April 21. I understand that in the "business" that there are some preferred retailers but being able to cut production time in half is a little excessive. I always thought that once you put an order, your place in line is set. I don't really know how I feel about this. Waiting for custom gear can be painful but also a nice problem to have. Anyway, would like to know your thoughts. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hills Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I believe Goalie Monkey had a deal about that as well, where they had the fastest turn around time. I am not a fan of it but if I was in Warrior's shoes and GM was offering something I am not sure I could turn that offer down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
