The Bauer Nexus Havok pants are a Source for Sports exclusive model based on the Bauer Nexus N8000 pants which feature upgraded logos for a high-quality look as well as an extension fit system allowing the pant to increase in length by 1". The classic construction of the Nexus line offers a wide, volume fit that allows for ultimate coverage and unmatched mobility. The internal belt and skate lace closure systems allow the pant to sit tight to the body in the waist, however, the wider fit of the leg along with the leg zippers and stretch mesh gussets allow for freedom of movement. Abrasion-resistant nylon overlay protects the hip areas from wear and rubbing keeping the pants looking fresh longer. Spinal protection features molded HD foam with a PE insert to disperse impacts from all energy levels. As well, HD foam inserts are featured throughout the kidney padding to keep you safe from crosschecks and other contact. A two-piece ergonomic thigh pad better sits along your leg, protecting you at all angles when on the ice. The pants feature suspender buttons and have stretchable fabrics in the leg gussets and flex zones for added mobility. The Havok pants are lined with a Thermo Max liner to wick moisture away from the body keeping you cool and dry as your play. As an additional feature, the Havok pants also offer Bauer's extension fit, allowing the pant to increase in length by 1" to better fit taller or growing players. The Source for Sports upgrade includes embroidered logos throughout the pant, and an added extension fit system and logo.

Player Pant Sizing
- Things to consider:
- Age, Height and Weight
- Waist Size
- Level of Play
When sizing for player pants, preference will largely determine how loose the waist of the pants fit. Your pants should fit comfortably around you, and most people like the waist to fit snug, but not too tight. A pant should fit so the belt is sitting right above your hips and around your waist.
Pants come equipped with at least one belt or fastening system to help them secure to your waist. You want to make sure that they are comfortable but not too loose so that they shift or fall down as you move or skate.
You may choose to use suspenders to help hold the pant up, however they are not required by any means. Most pants will come with suspender “buttons” to fasten to, but make sure you double check with the model you are interested in to make sure. Suspenders can be helpful when you are fitting growing to allow for growth room as it will allow you additional length, without having to keep a tight waist. Pants are also available in “Long” or “Tall” versions which offer 1” additional length without having to move up a waist size.
Fitting for Growth Room:
To fit a pant for growth room, make sure the pant fits securely around the waist, and the belt of the pant is sitting just above the hip bones. You want the pant to come down as far as possible however if it is fit too big, it will interfere with the shin pads and restrict movement. As a general rule, a pant with growth room should be in line with the bottom of the knee cap when standing straight legged and fastened at the waist. When you bend your knees and move into a ‘hockey stance’ the pant should slide up the knee and end up around the middle of the knee cap. A pant is too small once it does not reach the top of knee cap, standing straight legged.
Fitting for True Size:
To fit a pant true to size, make sure the pant fits securely around the waist, and the belt of the pant is sitting just above the hip bones. You want the pants to be long enough so they protect your thighs but not too long so that they interfere with your shin pads. We recommend a pant to fit between the middle and top of the knee cap, when you are standing straight legged. When you bend your knees and move into a ‘hockey stance’ the pant should slide up to fall in line with the top of your shin pads.
When viewing sizing online, most Pants will be offered in Small, Medium and Large and Extra-Large. Sizing charts are provided and on each product to double check where you line up and as well list all the sizes available. These charts are for reference only and personal preference is a factor as well when looking for the best fit. Protection levels will vary depending on the model you choose. As a general rule, the higher price points will offer more hip, kidney and tailbone protection without too much bulk. You can get a good quality pant at a lower price point but the fit, protection or movement of the pant may be somewhat compromised
Compare your height weight and age and waist size to the charts provided to find your best fit. If you are looking at a “Tall” version of a pant, the waist size on the chart will be accurate, however the length will represent that of the next size bigger.
