Pro Pants for a Short Fat Guy

23 September 2020 - 02:17 PM

I'm currently in a retail Tacks girdle (size L and definitely at the edge of needing an XL) and I use an XL Tacks shell with it. I routinely block shots and drive the net to screen the goalie so I'm looking for something with better protection as I take puck hits/slashes/crosschecks/etc. very frequently. The problem is I'm short (5'9") and fat (225lbs), so what fits my waist (38") doesn't fit me lengthwise (29.5" inseam); on the Tacks girdle I have the thigh board adjustments set to the edge of the velcro above the -1" setting.

 

I have no experience with pro stock pants and after reading through various threads here I'm leaning toward a pair of HP45 but wanted to get some input first as I saw posts from those in my height range or weight range, but not both at the same time. Preference would be for something slim fitting and lightweight that doesn't soak up every ounce of sweat I put out. Not opposed to a pro stock girdle, but in looking around I've had a hard time finding anything other than a 9k and those are on the heavier side from what I've read.
