Mission Inline Hockey Pants Size Chart and Guide

Dominate the rink with precision control and maximum agility. Wearing the right-size inline hockey pants isn't just about comfort; it's about peak performance, efficient movement, and most importantly, your safety. Ill-fitting pants can hinder your mobility, restrict your range of motion, and even increase the risk of injury. So, before you hit the ice, ensure you're dialed in with the perfect fit.

Please Note: These sizing charts are for reference only and may not reflect personal preference.

Inline hockey pants, like most protective gear, are essential for safety on the rink, and proper sizing plays a vital role in achieving that. Here's why:

• Mobility and Performance: Baggy pants can be cumbersome and restrict your movement, hindering your ability to maneuver quickly, shoot, and react to the fast-paced game. On the other hand, pants that are too tight can pinch and dig, causing discomfort and potentially limiting your agility. A good fit allows for a full range of motion without sacrificing flexibility, optimizing your performance on the court.
• Protection: Ill-fitting pants leave gaps in crucial areas like the hips, thighs, and tailbone. Loose pants can ride up during falls or collisions, exposing these vulnerable areas to impacts from pucks, sticks, and scrapes on the ground. Properly sized pants ensure all key areas are securely covered, minimizing the risk of injuries and allowing you to play with confidence.

Ready to find your perfect fit? Follow these simple steps:

Start by measuring your natural waistline, which is typically the narrowest part of your torso. Use a flexible tape measure and wrap it around your waist without pulling it too tight. Take note of the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Measure your inseam by starting from the inside of your thigh, where it meets your groin, down to the bottom of your ankle. This will give you the length of the pants. Make sure to stand straight and ask someone for assistance if needed.

Match your measurements (waist and inseam) to the corresponding pant size in the Mission Inline Hockey Pants Size Chart above. Different models may have slight variations in sizing, so always refer to the specific chart for the product.

Keep in mind that inline hockey pants may come with additional padding in certain areas, such as the hips and thighs, for protection during gameplay. If you plan to wear additional protective gear underneath the pants, account for this when choosing your size to ensure a comfortable fit.

• Regular fit: Provides a comfortable and versatile option for most players.
• Tapered fit: Offers a snugger fit at the ankles for increased mobility and agility, preferred by aggressive skaters.
• Pro fit: Designed for players seeking the ultimate in protection and performance, usually featuring a snug and contoured fit.

Nothing beats the real deal! Try on the pants with your skating gear to ensure they fit comfortably and without restriction. Bend, crouch, and move around to test the mobility and adjustability. Check for pressure points or areas that feel too tight or loose.

Pro Tip: Pay attention to the specific fit and style of the inline hockey pants. Some players prefer a looser fit for increased mobility, while others may prefer a more tapered fit. Consider your personal playing style and comfort preferences when selecting the size.

Selecting the right size for inline hockey pants is crucial for comfort, protection, and freedom of movement. Here are some common pitfalls to dodge:

Always reference the official size chart from Mission and take accurate measurements based on their guide. Don't rely on guesswork or sizing from other brands.

Don't assume that your regular clothing size will translate directly to inline hockey pants. Hockey gear has a specific fit for protection and mobility, so rely on the manufacturer's sizing recommendations.

Cheap pants might seem tempting, but prioritize proper fit and quality padding to avoid discomfort, injury risk, and potential equipment damage.

Account for the additional padding in hockey pants when selecting a size. Ensure that the pants provide ample protection for your thighs, hips, and lower spine without being too tight or too loose.

If you fall between sizes, it's usually better to size up for a more comfortable fit. You can always adjust the waist straps for a more secure fit.

It's not recommended to use your regular pants size as a reference. Hockey pants are designed with specific measurements, so always refer to the sizing chart provided by Mission.

Hockey pants are designed to be worn over a base layer. However, it's essential to ensure that additional layers don't affect the fit and protection provided by the pants.

Sizing can vary slightly between models and individual preferences. Consulting the size chart and trying on the pants if possible is recommended for the best fit.
