CCM Tacks Vector Premier Junior Hockey Pants

The Tacks Vector Premier hockey pants are a Source for Sports exclusive pad from CCM for the 2022 season. These pants combine the AS-580 model with higher-end features also found on the highest-end AS-V and AS-V Pro at a more affordable price point. Features on the Vector Premier include JDP hip caps, a 400D nylon shell, and D3O in the spine.

External Materials
The shell is made of 400D nylon with abrasion-resistant panels over the front, sides, and back. 400D nylon is a tough nylon weave that is also featured on the AS-V Pro at the highest price point, so you know you are getting some of the best material CCM provides for hockey protective gear. The side panels on this variation have also been made extra cut-resistant.

Thigh Protection
The thigh area is protected with the use of floating molded PE plastic caps with PE foam. The PE foam helps further cushion your leg, keeping you comfortable in your gear while you play.

Hip Protection
The hip area uses JDP caps to help keep your hips protected by dispersing force away from the point of impact. The inside is covered with a sublimated comfort liner, which simultaneously keeps you comfortable while also repelling moisture and odour.

Spine Protection
The exposed foam spine includes D3O, which is CCM’s most protective foam. It also includes a compress-molded spine lining, which can also be found in the AS-V and AS-V Pro. D3O is a military-grade foam that is soft to the touch and hardens when it comes in contact with hard impact. It is highly shock-absorbant, which is why CCM includes it in only their top gear.

The spine’s design includes a seamless transition into the tail pad to increase comfort.

Kidney Protection
Similar to the AS-V Pro at the highest price point, the molded PE caps in the Vector Premier provide elite-level protection for the kidneys. The caps’ molded framework and sublimated comfort liner add some softness to the kidney area, effectively making them much more pleasant to play hockey in.

Belt/Lace Closure
The Vector Premier pants use an internal belt system and a hockey lace closure for a more low-profile look and to allow you to tailor the pants perfectly to your size. The stabilized belly pad with the sublimated liner is made to be flexible, supportive, and comfortable.

Leg Zippers
The pants have a 1” length adjustment zipper, as well as inner leg zippers to help you further improve the leg fit and size.
