Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about custom hockey pant shell sizing, fabric specs, leg zippers, and international shipping.
What is the difference between hockey pants and hockey pant shells?
Hockey pants are complete protective equipment featuring thick internal kidney, spine, and thigh pads. Hockey pant shells (often called "coopers") are lightweight, durable nylon covers designed to slip over protective girdles or stock pants to change team colors and display club branding without buying new pads.
How do I choose the right size shell to fit over my girdle or pants?
Our shells are already tailored with extra circumference and rise to accommodate pads. Generally, order the same size as your player waist/pant size. If you wear an unusually bulky traditional 2-piece pant or prefer a baggier fit, sizing up one size is recommended.
Can you add inner leg zippers to the pant shells?
Yes. We offer heavy-duty nylon leg zippers on the inner seam of both legs, complete with protective velcro or fabric flaps. This allows players to slip shells on and off in the dressing room without taking off their ice skates.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom pant covers?
Our minimum order is only 10 pieces per design. You can mix different player sizes (from Junior S up to Senior 2XL) within the same 10-piece order.
Will the pant cover colors match our custom team jerseys?
Yes. Because we handle full dye-sublimation in-house, we coordinate Pantone color formulas across your entire uniform package—ensuring your pant shells, sweaters, and socks match precisely.
How long does production and overseas delivery take?
Standard manufacturing takes 7 to 10 business days from mockup approval. We ship via DHL Express, FedEx, and UPS with door-to-door transit times of 3 to 5 business days worldwide.
