Used Hespeler F60 HP SR LRG Senior Pant Black LG

The Hespeler F60 HP Senior Ice Hockey Pants in Black (Size Large) are a vintage, budget-friendly protective pant from the classic Canadian brand Hespeler (once owned by Wayne Gretzky and now a value line under Sherwood). These are entry-to-intermediate level pants popular in the early 2000s, offering solid basic protection with a traditional loose fit—great for recreational players, beer league, pond hockey, or beginners who want durable gear without spending much on modern brands like Bauer or CCM.

Key Features

• Fit & Mobility – Classic roomy fit: generous through the thighs and hips for unrestricted skating – Adjustable internal belt with lace-up front for secure fit – Leg zippers for easy on/off over skates – Size Large typically fits waist 34″–38″ (86–96 cm) and heights 5'10″–6'2″ (178–188 cm)
• Construction & Durability – Heavy-duty nylon shell (likely 400–450D denier) with abrasion-resistant zones – Mesh panels in crotch and inner legs for ventilation – Basic moisture-wicking liner
• Details – Color: Solid Black (versatile for any team) – Hespeler branding on thighs and waist – Weight: Approx. 3–3.5 lbs (heavier than modern lightweight models but very tough)

Care Tips

• Hand or machine wash cold (inside out), air dry only
• Use odor-eliminating spray like GearHalo or hockey detergent
• Inspect padding regularly for compression

Who It’s Perfect For

Players from the era say: “Tough as nails—took a beating for seasons and still held up better than some new cheap stuff.”
