Big2 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Not sure if there’s a thread on this, but I would like to know how do goalies hold their pants up? My son has been using suspenders forever but tonight we played against a goalie who’s pants where not tied in the back ! Can someone elaborate on how many techniques and how there are?

dreadlocked1 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 S-biner on the front laces of the pants to a small bungee circle tied to a custom sewn keychain attachment. Small carabiner on the back of the pants to a small bungee loop tied to the back plate of the c/a. my pants float from the chest protector. Untucked.

creasecollector Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Are his pants too big for him? I'm really skinny, but the internal belt on my CCM Premier's do the trick. I also make the outer strap fairly snug and it works well. I've never used suspenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagoal Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Proper size and the internal tightening belt on Vaughn Ventus SLR pants. Works like a charm. That belt is seriously great for a thin frame like mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math. Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Tried to use suspenders once....at home....didn't work at all. I have a pair of pants that are way too big for me, and I tuck my C/A. Front is held up through the belly loop of my C/A using the front laces of my pants. For the back I fashionned a plate made out of a cheap plastic cutting board that locks into the buton meant for the suspenders that has a 1" nylon strap with a plastic buckle hook to it. The backplate of my C/A has a nylon strap and buckle also attached to it, that takes care of the back. Works wonders. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really cool thing is that if/when I change pants I just have to unclip it and reclip it to the new pair. Voilà! The thing did 3 pairs of pants so far.

Hockey School Dropout Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Used to use suspenders on my Tackla pants. With my Warrior Ritual X pants, I just use the inner belt, laces and outer strap, all due to necessity since they conveniently didn't put anything to attach suspenders to......

Punisher Goalie Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I have the exact same setup as @Math. but in the front, not the back. I’m somewhat slim (29” waist) but I like to wear large pants to take up space - don’t hate. I connect in front only and tuck my C/A in. After messing with all the other ways of doing it, I love this setup. I feel connected, pants stay up, C/A stays down, but I feel totally unrestricted when going into a deep stance. With suspenders or the connection at the back, I always felt the stretch/resistance at the back when setting down deep. YMMV of course, but it works for me.

MTH Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Carabiner on fight strap loop on back of pants and clip it to the spine pad on the C/A. Then use the clip to hang the pants up to dry after the game. They're a dollar at the register at home depot or wherever. The yellow loop is what the carabiner clip does: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatCarGuy Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I wear suspenders over my CA and I also use the loop on the front of the CA to tie the CA into my pants. Zero complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I wear suspenders over my untucked c/a but my pants would stay up without them since I wear pants that actually fit my body, not something 3 times to big. I also have a clip that connects the back of my pants to the back plate of my c/a to keep the back of my c/a down and the front up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wox33 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Anybody know of anyone who makes the shock cord suspenders like Monster? I tried to order some with the toe ties but my order never arrived. A fellow goalie let me try his out and I really liked them and I keep burning through the cheap ones available at local stores.
