Pant shell orders, in short
Sharknits makes hockey pant shells in nylon, in your team color, to go over hockey pants or a girdle, so every player on the team matches. A shell can carry stripes and a logo or a number on one leg. The minimum is 25 pieces per design in adult sizes and 50 in youth sizes, with sizes mixed. First we make one physical sample, for $150 to $500 depending on the design. After you approve it, bulk takes about 3 to 4 weeks, plus shipping. We make the uniforms in our own factories in Pakistan, with a US office near Chicago.

Schools can pay with a purchase order. We invoice from our US office and send a W-9, the US tax form a supplier gives a buyer.

Duffel bagsBagsWhat a pant shell is
A pant shell, or girdle shell, is a nylon cover that goes over hockey pants or a girdle.
- Over a girdle: a girdle is a set of padded shorts. A girdle and a shell together look like hockey pants.
- Over old pants: players can wear their own pants in any color, under one team shell.
- Why clubs ask for them: every player on the team matches. Some Chicago-area clubs require them.
