Oneiric Origin Men's Compression Hockey Jock Pants w/Cup Review

A Little Disappointed

Was looking for a compression pant / jock combo and went with this one. I wish there was a review like the one I'm about to write before I bought mine. First off, sizing. I'm 5'11 / 190 pounds and the Large fits me just right. The good: Build quality is quite good. I expect the pants to hold up. The stretchy fabric is thick and feels like it can hold up to having the shin… read more pads slid in and out of the pockets hundreds of times. Also, the shin pad pockets actually do a good job of holding everything in place. I was able to play without a shred of sock tape or even a velcro strap. The bad. For a product that was supposed to make my life EASIER it certainly makes getting dressed more of a hassle. It was a pain to get into the stretchy leggings and slide the shin pads in place. It added a minute or two to each of the dress and undress sessions. Might be OK for small kids but wasn't good for me as an adult. I really didn't like how the garment felt when I played in it. The fabric seemed hot to me. As my body warmed up it couldn't shed heat down there and my legs felt uncomfortably hot. Also, really didn't like how the jock was incorporated into the crotch of the garment. There were no straps to come in behind the leg or buttocks and keep the cup in place. As a result the cup was jiggling around loosely as I skated, a huge bummer for me. They were expensive so I will give this set another 5-10 skates to see if I can get used to it, but I'll likely go back to my simple jock shorts and sock tape set up. Simple is best my friends. I feel like Oneiric built these pants to solve a problem that doesn't exit.
