Used Itech HP 9.78 Senior Goalie Pant Black XL

The ITECH HP 9.78 (also commonly labeled as the HP978) is a professional-level ice hockey goalie pant from the mid-2000s era. It remains one of the most protective and durable senior goal pants ever made, which is why it is still highly sought after on the used and NOS (new old stock) market.

Built with a traditional loose, boxy “pro” fit that allows maximum freedom of movement and excellent overlap with leg pads, the HP 9.78 combines high-density foams, hard plastics, and ballistic nylon for elite-level protection without sacrificing mobility.
