Just picked these up -- From what Tyger said they should be perfect.. Any only $29.99 on Closeout! If they're durable enough to handle hockey, they can take paintball.

Not bad but since they where made fore hockey do you think that they will get to hot when your playing paint ball?

They're made for Roller Hockey so they are made to vent, similar to Paintball pants..


Do they have pockets?

good question.. doesn't really matter for me, though. I really don't carry anything in my pockets when playing...

Since they are for Hockey wether street or ice the leg length will be short and should you buy a size where the leg is long enough how wide are those legs going to be due to the padding that both street and ice hockey players wear, expect to look like a gimp after the judges wrap you in gaffer tape for over sized clothes ;)

The bottom of the pant's legs are larger than the waist!!!

It will be quite a "look."

Actually, for normal inline hockey pants the length is pretty normal. I use Mission pants most of the time when I play paintball. The legs are wide, but not more so then any pb pants I've seen. They're actually pretty interchangeable. And as noted the breathe very well and can usually be had for cheaper.

Yes! I won't be the only one wearin ugly hockey pants!

My Mission Apex pants breath amazingly well. There is tons of mesh in them, they breath better than any paintball paints I've ever worn.

But yeah, they are freakin huge. I'm too lazy to look up a picture of me wearing em.

If they're made for ROLLER hockey, they're fine. But Mark said that, didn't he? Hrmph. Hay, dare to be different, and look better than the goobs wearing $125 or more (http://store.yahoo.com/actionvillage/apparel-mens-apparel-pants-paintball-men-s-pants-dye-men-s-pants-dye-c4-pants-black---red-dye-c4-pan.html) pants.

And, for those keeping score, There's also $115+ pairs of pants, (http://store.yahoo.com/actionvillage/apparel-mens-apparel-pants-paintball-men-s-pants-wone-men-s-pants-wone-maxx-line-pants.html) and Almost $120 pairs of pants too. (http://store.yahoo.com/actionvillage/apparel-mens-apparel-pants-paintball-men-s-pants-angel-men-s-pants-angel-performance-pants-red-angel.html) I can't seem to find the gold-leaf ones for $200 tho...

-Tyger (with the solid belief that you should buy quality once, and not buy schlock over and over again...)

I had black biscuits when i played roller hockey. They would be perfect for paintballing. They were really wide and padded, I'm talking alot of bounces :D

Bash on the C4's all you want, I've never worn more comfortable pants while playing in my life. I own probably 10 pairs of pants for paintball (including the prescious non-paintball pants) and the C4's are the first ones I like.

I have no doubt that they are comfortable but I just can't justify spending THAT much on something I'm just going to destroy anyways.. Ya know?

I think that they should look great with one of these:

Hmmm I'd be willing to wager that a pair of C-4's at one of the local shops here would be $200 or more. On average, the local shop prices around here are 1.5 to 1.8 times the average online price.
