If you buy these pants on sale - absolutely the best bang-for-your-buck as far as I am concerned. This was an upgrade from Nexus 1N which I freaking hated. I have a 40-in waste size and I felt like I was swimming in 1N (XL size) pants. These 1S fit me just right. There are multiple advantages between Nexus and Supreme that I can point to: - Weight: I would say 1S is 1/3 lighter than Nexus 1N. See below. - Protection: 1S uses Kevlar material to reduce the weight without sacrificing the protection. The shape of the thigh guards also contours to your body and gives more of a deflection angle for the pucks than what I had with 1N... which was just a slightly curved plastic pad. - Comfort: The ergonomic fit is just so much more comfortable than the bulky 1N. Also the Velcro fly allows me to do my stretched and get in/out of the pants a lot easier. - Breathability: It's the same 37.5 technology as 1N. I leave the hockey bag by my car as I have a beer with the guys after the game. It's about 80% dry within an hour. Highly recommend 1S. I also have their shoulder pads and elbow pads. -Alex
