RedSpectreNine Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) I know this isn't protective gear per say, but I'm new to EUC and also looking for clothes I want to wear with my gear that can hold up to falls. In the past I used to play indoor hockey and know that Indoor Hockey pants are built for durability and breathability. So I was thinking Inline/Indoor Hockey pants would be a good option because I would prefer to have have knee pads underneath any pants I wear. My main worry is that they would be too long since they are sometimes meant to be tucked inside skates. My solution if that becomes a problem is to grab a pair of elastic boot bands, but not sure if its worth it. Any thoughts?

redsnapper Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 seems like overkill - unless u plan on doing some high risk riding, protect ur head and hands/wrists and u r good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vellberger Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 There are motorcycle-trousers that look like normal jeans (it´s a jeans with protectorpockets) on the market. By now I wear a fullface-helmet, wrist-guards, knee-protectors and (if temperature allows) a motorcycle-jacket (I have ordered ellbow-pads for warm days). And I´m looking for a hip protection as well. The thing is, I put on all that gear, ride to work and have to put it all down. Than have a break... all gear on, ride, all gear off, have a meal .... you got it. It does not last very long to mount all the stuff, but - you know - could be more handy. Therefor the indoor hockey pants look interesting. Don´t know how good they protect while I never saw some.But in case all between me an the gravel is wellcome. however - to be honest the look is more like resting on the couch than going to the office, think this wouldn´t be appropriate at work. (And I don´t even like to go shopping this way as well.) I´m thinking about how good the protections stay in place. My knee-guards with velcro do not slip while die ellbow-pads in my motorcycle-jacket totter around and would propably not be in position when the ellbow hit the ground. the reason is that I often do not tighten the jacket for better cooling. But this isn´t what it´s ment for. I think it could be the same issue on trousers with protection. Too thight is not breathable enough, too lose dosn´t have the protective funktion. I´ll see. One more benefit of protection inside clothing is, that you can not get careless. "Hmm... it´s only a short ride. Don´t want to gear all up for ." You wear it allready. Without having this "Ironman-look". Keep on being geared up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFZ Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 With your past Hockey experience, would hockey gloves provide good wrist guard protection? I'm trying to find a better solution then what is currently on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
