The CCM Super Tacks pants are designed to be a highly protective and customizable pant. They offer a length adjustment feature and utilize the innovative D30 smart foam that has been engineered to react with fluctuating intensities. This smart foam will keep a soft consistency to absorb low impacts then immediately harden at high intensities to protect you from the bigger hits. The fit of the Super Tacks pants was modeled after one of CCM's best-selling lines. A 400-denier nylon exterior with reinforced side panels reduces the overall weight while optimizing durability by adding additional material only in the main wear and tear locations. A foam padded external belt hides a length adjusting zipper which enables the pants to increase in length by 1" for taller players out there. In addition to the external belt, a padded internal belt system provides a better, more secure fit on the hips. The Super Tacks feature JDP hip caps which use a renowned shape to disperse impacts away from the hip joint. These caps are also liner with D3O smart material to provide a pro level of protection. D3O smart material is also featured in the adjustable HD floating spine protector to again aid in impact dispersion. Moving down into the thighs of the pant, the Super Tacks feature molded HD and PE foams to provide a barrier of protection for your legs. The pants are topped off with leg zippers along the inseams and a lace tie at the front to fully secure the pants.
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.
