New for 2022 is the next iteration in the Tacks pant line: the AS-V Pro. The AS-V Pro pants offer multiple features that focus on high mobility on power strides while keeping you protected from all sides. Features include D3O AERO foam, Flexmotion technology, and an optimized Anatomical Shield Design.
External Materials
The exterior of the pads has been furnished with premium 400D nylon, as well as abrasion-resistant side panels, belt, and kidney protection. The nylon has been cut similar to how the pros would have it, at one inch in the back of the legs. CCM made note of general areas on hockey pants that tend to suffer the most wear and added extra nylon reinforcements as needed.
Thigh Protection
A floating molded HD foam cap and PE foam protect your thighs when blocking shots and during tough board battles. The strong foam and plastic offer both pro-level protection and mobility, ensuring you can play your best during the game.
Hip Protection
CCM incorporated JDP hip caps with their most renowned and high-performing material to date: D3O AERO material, into the pants’ hip protection. D3O is commonly used in CCM protective gear due to its amazing cushioning and absorption properties, as seen even in military equipment. The hip padding uses a Flexmotion segmented design to enhance mobility and keep you covered, no matter how you move on the ice.
Spine Protection
The spine is secured with the use of exposed HD foam and D3O AERO, and the Flexmotion design ensures you are covered at all times, at every angle. The tail pad transitions seamlessly into the rest of the pants and the spine, keeping you comfortable on top of the elite protection it provides.
Kidney Protection
Molded PE caps provide elite-level protection for the kidneys. The caps’ molded framework and sublimated comfort liner add some softness to the kidney area, effectively making them much more pleasant to play hockey in.
Belt/Lace Closure
The adjustable integrated belt is made of tough nylon and secures the pants on your person while you play. The pants additionally feature a stabilized belly pad for more coverage around the stomach area.
Leg Zippers
For growing players, CCM has included a one-inch zipper extension on the AS-V Pro, which will add length to their gear in the future. In addition, the inner zipper has been optimized and repositioned to lessen friction on crossovers.
Sizes & Colors
The CCM Tacks AS-V Pro Senior Hockey Pants come in Small, Medium, Large, and XLarge sizes, and Black and Navy colourways.

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.
