Youth Blade Tech Pant

A rink pant for a kid has one job: get them from school to warmups to the car without a wardrobe change or a fight.

This one does it. Ankle zips they can work themselves to get on and off over sneakers, a tapered cut that stays off the gym floor, and zip pockets that hold the phone you would otherwise be replacing.

It moves when they sprint and shrugs off what they put it through, which is everything.

Ankles: zips at the cuff mean they get them on and off over sneakers without sitting down in a hallway (easy on-off lower-leg zippers).

Legs: tapered so cuffs never drag on turf, gym floors, or the rink lobby, with stretch that follows every sprint and squat (tapered youth jogger cut, 9% spandex woven in).

Body: velcro, gear bags, playground wear: the cloth takes it without pilling into fuzz, and it is warm enough for rink mornings without roasting them (50% nylon, 41% polyester, 222 gsm midweight).

Pockets: phone, keys, and tournament cash ride zipped instead of scattered under a bus seat (deep zippered hand pockets).

Waist: elastic with a real drawstring, so it cinches to this season's waist and keeps fit as they grow (adjustable elastic waistband with drawstring, made to keep fit as the athlete grows).

Worth photographing: the waistband with the drawstring pulled. The detail parents check first, because it is the difference between a pant for the season and a pant for a month.

Best for: off-ice workouts, team travel, school-to-rink days, tournament weekends.
For youth players who dress themselves in hallways and parking lots.

Not an on-ice layer: this is the around-the-rink pant.

Pair it with: the youth Blade Tech Pullover Hoodie for the full kit.

Tapered youth jogger with a cinchable waist: the drawstring absorbs a growth spurt the way a fixed waist cannot.
