Equipment Tip of the Month - Chest and Arms
Chest sets are vital part of equipment and when sized properly should enable the goalie to execute key movements and his or her game .
- The arms should be no longer and no shorter then cuff or mid wrist for easy control and comfort with gloves
- The abdominal protection should drop 2 inches below waist line .
- The upper chest protector should not hinder or impede you vision over shoulder or when you look down after save to cover up or basket catch , check with helmet on!
- Do I wear my chest set tucked in pants or out ? I can tell you most pros wear it in while most amateurs wear it out side pants my thinking is until you feel a pro shot hit you in the rib or stomach you simply just think of comfort . Pros tie in because they don't want separation between pants and chest set , either way get skate lace and tie it in so it doesn't move around off your torso .

I have two loops in both my pants and my C/A. You can tie it there, I just use the suspenders to keep it down though.

WOW! I learned a lot in this little post. As a "rookie" this will be my second season as a goalie but my first with my own gear, I never knew how things should fit...I'm not a small guy at the age of 40 but not huge either. I picked up a second hand a/c protector and questioned the guy at the store as to how it fit? He told me to try it on and move with it...According to Ron my a/c is way too short for me. I did not realize it had to be below my waist. Mine is about 2" the other way, I figured in my "stance" I would be covered...Thank you...sincerely, thank you.
Pants almost always have the lace to tie them up and the belt to hold them up. Every C/A I've seen has a loop about midway up on the front that I use to take the lace from my pants and tie up to that loop. This not only keeps my pants up, it keeps my C/A down against my chest and up against my body as well as tucked in. I don't even mess with the belt on my pants anymore as this is a sufficient method for keeping my pants up and C/A down.
i have the loop on the c/a but i don't think my pants have it
As Arth said, use the laces that you tighten your pants with. Put them up through the loop and tighten down.Originally Posted by imperative

cool, thanks for the tip
Video that shows how. How to put on pads and chest protector. The chest starts about 1:47
That's totally a retarded way to put your pads on. Way to slow and counter productive. Much faster and more efficient to lay your pads down, and kneel down in them and strap it up starting from the bottom strap. Once you get to your knee and top strap, get up on the bench and attach the velcro and top straps accordingly.
I definitely am going to try the looping the belt/string through the holes.
