Hockeygoalie111 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I wear my knee pads (modified old grey Reeboks) under Under Armour compression pants. After a few skates, I start to get holes in the pants due to pucks, friction, and the thin material. I am looking for recommendations for a more durable option to wear. Not looking to use socks if possible. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Why not wear the knee pads on top of the compression pants? You must be blowing through a ton of dough spending money on new pants all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also get caught on elastic. i tape at the bottom of the knee pads and they don't move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Man, for the money you're spending on compression pants, finding a good pair of knee pads that won't slide down would be a cheaper alternative. Someone here may be more help than I am, but I'd seriously recommend trying a new method of wearing knees pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeygoalie111 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 I am considering the Bauer S18 pros. Sounds like those don't move a lot and don't require tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff da goalie Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 what's the big deal about wearing socks? I wear compression pants, the knee pads on top, then socks and I tape them in place. They're comfortable and don't move at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCarGuy Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I wear my X2 Pro knee pads under bauer “hockey fit” base layer pants and it works just fine. For those who don’t know, hockey fit means just a little looser than snug. Keep in mind I’m super thin so these are loose fit for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telfo Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Oneiric Genesis base layer pants have been good for me. kinda expensive but the cut resistant material at the bottom makes it worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chenner29 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I wear the Bauer 1X Pro with the included garter. Never had any slipping issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Boiss Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I wear a pair of player socks over my knee pads, and tuck the bottom cuff up underneath the bottom band on my knee pads. (I posted pictures somewhere on the site. [EDIT] Here!: https://www.thegoalnet.com/forums/topic/2748-goalie-jock-and-knee-pads-are-falling-down-how-to-fix-this/?tab=comments#comment-58007).

I wear compression pants, the knee pads on top, then socks and I tape them in place. They're comfortable and don't move at all. Yup that’s the ticket for me as well. Warrior X2 Pro knee pads over compression pants with socks over it. Also helps with sliding on the knee and other things so even if it wasn’t holding the knee pads alone I’d still do it. I also wonder “am I looking like a douche?” but matching non-knit or even “color of the nylon of your leg pads” isn’t that much. Got cheep ones on amazon that work just fine. Edit: I wear Dare Devil Hockey compression pants unless I’m doing a practice skate cause that OHL video freaked me out and I have to go to my real job.

creasecollector Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Do you have any pics of your modifed grey RBK knee pads? They sound interesting. Anyways, yeah, I'd wear the knee pads on top of your compression pants, then use hockey socks (I'd recommend the newer CCM Edge style socks) to keep things in place. I use a little bit of tape and things are perfect and this method won't burn through your compression pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanR3KC Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Use 550 cord and tie your knee pads into your pants. Problem solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
