Best Price Promise
The CCM Premier R1.9 intermediate goal pant has one of the market's best coverage in the mid-range price point. It achieves this by utilizing injection-molded thighs that create a durable, square surface covering as much net possible while still conforming to IIHF size regulations. In addition to this is an internal belt, which keeps the pant locked on the hips without reducing external pant volume for maximum coverage. To keep mobility in check, CCM segments the hip padding and adds elastic panels to improve lateral range of motion. A hidden zipper is also included which, when undone, extends the pants length by 1" perfect for the growing goaltender.
Goalie Pants Sizing Information
Goalie Pants offer substantially more protection than their player counterparts. The hips are reinforced with high-density foam instead of a thin layer of nylon/elastic. The thighs of a goalie pants are usually squared off for coverage purposes and made with thick plastic and foam. The waist of a goal pant is also beefed up to protect vital organs. Even the way a goalie pant moves in relation to a player pant is even different. Hockey Player Pants are designed to move back and forth, while Goalie Pants are more effective for lateral movements that a goalie naturally has to make.
Why Proper Sizing Is Important
Properly sized Goalie Pants are imperative to make sure all of your goaltending equipment fits together seamlessly. An improperly fit goalie pant can cause your chest protector to ride up and feel uncomfortable. When a goal pant is fit properly, it integrates well with the fit of your chest protector to provide unrestricted movement and full protection.
Finding the Right Sized Goalie Pants
The first step is to take measurements that relate to the provided sizing charts on any individual goal pant’s product page on our website. Usually this is accomplished by matching a waist to a given size. Matching up waist sizes exactly isn’t always necessary as it is very common for goalies to wear pants that are wider to increase net coverage, mobility and comfort. Some goalies also prefer a looser fit around the waist and use suspenders to keep their pants from falling down.
Fitting Your Goalie Pants
After figuring how you want to wear the pants around your waist, it is important that the pant is sized such that they sit above the kneecap. This should leave enough room for the knee wing of the leg pad to rest on the inside edge of the knee. Pants that sit too low can interfere with the goalie leg pads. You also want to try your goalie pants on with your chest protector to see how the two pieces of equipment integrate with each other for mobility, and to make sure their are no gaps in protection. Lastly, make sure your goalie pants integrate well with additional knee protection. We strongly recommend trying everything on at once to make sure there is limited interference between all your goalie equipment.
