What's Up Guys!
Question for 9K girdle owners, what size shells are you using? Do you go one size up, to allow for a bit of room? Or size the same as girdle? Is it also dependent on brand of shell your using? I have hope to find a reebok 9k shell, but If it's as difficult as finding the girdle, might be out of luck, or have to be VERY patient.
Many Thanks!

I wear a Med 9k shell on a Med 9k girdle...
However, the M shell is a little long on me (@5-7). I would wear a Small shell if I could find one in Chicago colors.

Ordered a set of Customs from PSHG in Medium.
Just received my girdle, and love it. Had read some commentary on it being TOO paded, but I disagree. If anything I think it might lack in the kidney area, but will do. Everywhere else feels solid, and still maintains that light, mobile feel.

does anyone know if the retail version of the girdle is the same as the pro stock version?
My understanding was that the girdle it-self was never made available for retail. I think you had to buy the whole 9k set-up that included the shell as well. That said, it is my understanding that the retail/pro girdle is the same - I have seen them with different graphic packages though. Somebody correct me if I am wrong on this.

Both of my boys wear the 9k in large but one is 5'5" and the other is 5'9". I thought I was getting a medium from a pro stock sale but it turned out to be a large. I tried to buy mediums but they seem to be the size of choice and always go past my price range so both boys ended up in larges. They have both medium and large shells but the large is really big for them. The medium fits my older son (who is the smaller) a bit long but it is just right for the other son. The 9k shells that they have all contain kidney cups??? for the lack of a better term. They are hard plastic sewn into the shell. The girdle alone may seem lacking but when the final layer is added it seems more than adequate. I may be able to post some pics of them wearing the gear for reference if you want.
LET'S GO PENS!

The reason I want 9k Shells - because of the padding. Still looking for a medium pair, but in the mean time...
I actually fabricated my own solution last night. Took apart a pair of retail One60 pants I'll no longer be wearing and cut the kidney protection out of them. Measured and mocked them up to the kidney opening on the 9k girdle, cut and trim what wasn't needed, and now have solid kidney protection in the girdle itself. Plus the thin padding that is already in it.

Alright well I havent found anything helpful so I'm gonna ask here. I have a large 9k girdle and have had problems finding a red 9k shell for a decent price....so I was looking on hockeymonkey and found a couple shells that might work. It looks like the warrior hitman and the CCM Vector shell both have some protection(like 9k shells) so I was jsut wondering if anyone had any experience with retails shells on your 9k girdles and what size girdle/shell did you use?
Thanks!
Thanks!
