Tackla Breezer Ice Hockey Girdle Review

Great Pants

I grew up on Tackla pants and loved them. Took some time away from the game, and when i came back everything is either Bauer or CCM. I ended up buying a Pair of 1X Lite Pants that just fell apart in a matter of 2 months. Saw these on HM and figured i'd give it a whirl. I was pleasantly surprised how light these pants are. They are incredibly flexible, and honestly have almost… read more zero restriction as far as movement goes, but i've been hacked, tripped, and blocked quite a few shots and the pants are no worse for the wear. The one "odd" thing about these breezers is the little air bladder in the front of the groin, right next to the cup, i wasnt sure about them at first, but honestly by about the 2nd or 3rd skate you don't even notice them. Overall great pants, little on the pricey side, but from what i can tell (only 15-20 skates) deff worth it.

Best alternative to a hockey pants - strongly recommended

I bought in blind - only on the base of HM reviews. I must say -it i best investment I ever made into hockey equipment ever. Most value for me is great hips protection - my past pants from top lines of major brands never gave full protection to my hips - almost every two weeks a fall to the side caused bruises on my hips. Now I feel fully protected and safe! This is also very lightweight… read more - less than a kilo! I'm not feeling them at all. It gave me another dimension of movement. Major difference to top brands is - much better all around leg, hips and pelvis protection. Kidney part a little bit shorter in comparison to major brands and initially feels unusual but anyway it covers all area to the ribs. The only downside is that it stated as not washable in the washing machine, but majority of plastic inserts are removable and I will wash it in hand wash cycle w/o spinning in cold water.

Best hockey pants

Pro pants! The best hockey pants I've ever tried. Light weight, breathable and fits very well. I could say these are revolutionary.

Was what I was hoping for

I am new relatively new to the game and have ended up fallling on my tailbone or posterior hip area often. My previous CCM pants had thin area of padding in the lower tailbone area as well as behind the hip pads leaving me feeling pretty sore after falling in these areas. The Tacklas have great padding in these areas that stay put and are a definite improvement in protection in… read more these specific areas. They are comfortable and seem well made. (too soon to tell regarding long term durability). The only thing that I wish for with the pants would be some stomach padding like the padding present in most pants. Overall, I’ve been very satisfied with them.
