The inner belt sits across the very top of my hips, and I pull it (and the outer belt) tight enough that it doesn't shift around on me. I also wear a player cup underneath my goalie cup (I like the extra separation), which might do something to keep the goalie cup in place, but I don't think so because the player cup sits more underneath my groin than in front of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Elite one looks like the CCM pro stuff with the open back. Still hot looking! Yep, that was me! And yes, the Pro model does what it needs to for me. Didn't quite see what benefit I'd get from going to the Pro Elite. On 10/8/2022 at 7:17 PM, RichMan said: How do you fit the inner pant belt with a goalie cup? Doesn't the upper padding of the cup get in the way of tightening the belt? I fit...snugly into my pants, so I don't rely on the inner belt. I took a photo below to show where it sits. It appears to rest above the padding of the cup. I haven't noticed any interference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravitas Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Anyone know if they make NHL regulation pants now that they are an AHL supplier? E-mailed them earlier this week and haven't heard anything back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerd31 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Decided to order a pair of XPG 2 Pro Pants. I initially opted for black w/ orange stitching, but they emailed me the next morning and said it'd take 4-5 weeks for production and they have black w/ white stitching in stock, so I opted for the stock pair. Shipped same day and received a few days later. Seemed nice out of the box, not too stiff like my Warrior Ritual RX3 Pro + pants were that I gave up on after about a dozen skates. Got one game in with the McKenney's and they seem great- I'm sure they'll break in over time but they felt just fine in my first skate with them. I removed the inner belt and stuck with my Kova suspenders. Really happy with them after one game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candyman Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Picked up my gloves last week, unfortunately it will be a while before I get to use them. I reached out to McKenney to see if they were flexible with the customizer as I wanted to change a few colour zones. Everything came out as I specified and completed in 5 weeks even though the website said 6-8 weeks. It was nice to see the adjustable elastic finger tie downs, mostly for when the elastic starts to get old but it gives you more control over how you grip your stick. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you take some photo of the back of the gloves and inside of catcher ? How would you compare gloves to the other brands, what is similar brand/model? And how you see craftmanship - only piece of McKenney equipment I saw in person was pants and they were top in quality. Thanks.

Candyman Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 HI mik, I'm coming from an original set of CCM Eflex and the glove closure is very similar to the 600. The gloves are a little heavier than the CCM's but not by much. Build quality looks to be very good, nothing looks out of place and no loose stitching. Here are a few additional pics. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
