Good fit = more mobility. Good padding = more pro

I had lost some weight (30lbs) and my senior large size pants were hanging around my middle, supported by suspenders. After they were torn up enough to warrant replacing, I tried on these Bauer pants in medium. Fit like a charm without suspenders and I feel so much more mobile without the extra material. For this particular model, I like the back and sternum protection. After unzipping the middle extension, these now reach up to and just tuck under the padding from my shoulder pads, giving me more coverage/protection. (I had taken a puck to the upper abdomen shortly before and had a super nasty bruise for well over a week. Nice trophy, but man, did that sting!) Definitely would buy another pair.
