The True AX7 Ice Hockey Pant shares some elite-level protection from the AX9, offering amazing protection but at an affordable price. Two big callouts are Absor Foam and AeroShield Technology, used in the kidneys and hips respectively for optimal impact management. Absor Foam is designed to absorb big impact energy like body checks and collisions while AeroShield helps reduce the weight of the pants while offering incredible lower spine protection to impacts like cross-checks. The AX7 also features upgraded exterior quality with added overlay in key wear areas and a stretch mesh window on the front of the pants to increase durability. Plus, silicone logos add a professional touch and richness to the design. An internal belt and skate lace tie-up keep the pants secure and comfortable on the hips throughout the game. Extra suspender buttons have been added to the beltline too, perfect for players who wear suspenders and want to dial in their fit. On each button, looped nylon offers a way for players to extend their shell either 1" or 2", making it a great option for players who like to dial in their fit.
