Hockey School Dropout Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hey, So I've had a pair of Tackla pants for a few years now. They've been pretty decent, but I'm tired of sewing them up. Part of the inner lining has worn off and padding is sticking out here and there. Time for some new shorts. I'm a bit of an oddity when it comes to size, so it's hard to find a good fitting pant. The Tacklas were good because they had a shorter leg. So I need a relatively decent pant protection wise (I'm not facing top tier shooters 95% of the time), but need one that has shorter legs as I am only 5'6" - 5'7". I wear 38" waist jeans, which are somewhat loose, so I'm really about a 37" waist. I don't want to spend a whole lot as I only play 1-2 times a week. Hoping for some recommendations for mainstream manufacturers that I can get at a LHS and not have to order. Thanks all. HSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Warrior (for now) makes what you need. The waist is adjustable from 28-38", and the inseam is S-L. I am getting a pair as I have similar requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimeb Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I'm similar in size and use the warrior ritual X pro size small. Biggest improvement (gear related) to my game as I can move far better. The first Gen ritual pant had quality issues so ensure you pick up the ritual X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey School Dropout Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Votes are in. Seems to be Warrior Ritual X or CCM Pro return. I'll check into both. Thanks lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those aren't actually pro stock and have had some durability issues. Warrior seemed to be very good with fixing the issues that have popped up though.

This article/post goes over what PSH does with Warrior gloves and other products. It applies to their goalie gear as well. Doesn't mean you are getting a bad product by any means, it was just never made for a Pro team. https://hockeyreviews.ca/2016/09/06/is-prostockhockey-com-actually-pro-stock/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is deceptive, plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come in large and XL ++++ just bought a pair for my son 6' tall a large he tried them on tonight and he loves them - great protection and very ample. He had a pair of Bauer's top model prior to the current one and both are large. The Bauers are made a lot smaller than the CCM, awesome purchase!

goalie Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 If all the stock pants are too long, Simmons will custom cut to your specs. Reasonable pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwarnar Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Brown... 2300 if you tuck, 2400 if you don't. John is amazing to work with and will do mods or custom requests... and likely they'll be the last oants you ever own. I have the 2300, super protective, light and mobile.

Brown is awesome for all his gear. I have the 2000 pants which are closest to Tackla. But at the beginning of the thread, it was mentioned about not spending a lot. Brown isn't cheap. Other option is US Tackla ( offshore made) is available about $200. More of a senior than pro level pant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
