Hey guys, I just have a quick question... What is the difference between a girdle shell and a pant shell? If you could let me know, that would be great. Thanks

Girdle shells usually have the sides on them that go above the waist, if that makes sense, where as pant shell is just straight across

Girdle shell is cut slimmer. The difference isn't huge though, so they're interchangeable. But if you wear a girdle, and have the option, go for a girdle shell.

With that said you can definitely put a pant shell on a girdle I do it all the time. I also always put padded lowers on my girdle top

Pant shells are a bit bigger so I always size down but with girdle shells (made specifically for your girdle) I try to go true to size.

It COMPLETELY depends on the make and model of the shell. I can fit into sizes XS to XL depending on the make/model. Your best bet is to try something on before buying - as with anything. Myself, the only way I'll buy a shell without having tried on the model is if it's a size small.

That's true. But Bauer markets that shell at the retail level to go over their girdles, so it's a giant mess.

There is NOT a huge difference between girdle shells and pant shells. I'd say 90%+ of the shells that pop up on here are pant shells. That should tell you right there that if guys in the NHL are wearing them over their girdles that they will work for anyone else. You guys are making things so difficult.
Google dude.

Kovey's right. If it covers you pants or your girdle, you're golden.

Thanks, Grammer.
Here's a pic of 2 shells. Both are XL and Tackla.
One of the left is a GIRDLE shell one on the right is a PANT shell. As you can see the difference is minimal at most.
Now, look close at this pic. The GIRDLE shell is under the PANT shell. The width of the legs on both shells is the same, inseam the same, only difference is within 1/2" on top of the GIRDLE (bottom) shell where the stretch material is.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding. I'm looking for shells that have the hip/kidney.
