The CCM FT1 Junior Pant was developed to be lightweight and improve on its predecessor, the CCM QuickLite line. The new construction focuses on freedom of movement with increased protection.
When looking closer at the construction, the Jetspeed FT1 has added Textured Polyester and side panel reinforcement to reduce weight and increase durability.
As far as protection is concerned, significant advancements in key areas were addressed. The Thigh Guards offer molded HD + PE Foam, the Hips / Kidneys feature molded PE Caps and the Back Protection has a floating RocketFrame composite cap. When you add these three pieces together, CCM has brought one protective pant to the table.
When talking about comfort, the Thigh Guards mentioned above have zippers for added mobility, the Hips / Kidneys have vented zones for breathability and the RocketFrame composite in the Hips / Kidneys is so light you won't even know its there protecting you. This Jetspeed Pant also comes stock with a DryFoam Technology, which is a soft eliminated water repellent liner. This will allow the pant to absorb less water, keep the user drier longer and keep the product lightweight.
With the boxes for protection and comfort checked off, the customizable fit features should check off that last oh so important fit box, going 3 for 3. The internal belt system keeps combined with the skate lace draw string keeps the pant in place no matter the situation. The hidden 1" length adjustment ensures you have no gap between the top of your Shin Pad and bottom of your Pant. Lastly the Tapered fit design keeps the pant flush to your body, optimizing protection.
Overall, the CCM FT1 is the perfect combination of maximum protection with the least weight possible. Loaded with features, this pant is worth all the hype it is getting at the professional level, and is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an extra advantage while flying down the ice.
Player Pant Sizing
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.
