Vaughn Ventus SLR Pro Carbon Senior Pro Goalie Leg Pads

Description

Brand new for 2017, Vaughn Custom Sports have revamped their Ventus line and brought the SLR Pro Carbon pad into the goaltending game. The SLR Pro Carbon leg pad is one of the lightest goalie pads on the market, and the lightest of Vaughn’s offerings.

The SLR has a full preshaped and lightweight core that has Carbon reinforcements to give the pad flex when the goalie wants, but stiffness when the goalie needs it. The Carbon reinforcements are on the face of the pad which gives the pad a lightweight feel but is able to kick pucks hard and away to the corners.

All of the conventional leather straps have been removed from the pad and replaced with elastic straps that are strategically sewn around the leg to keep the goalie connected to the pad. The Velcro knee lock can be attached around the knee or down to the calf depending on the goalies preference. Next, there is a wide double back elastic strap on the calf to control the middle portion of the pad. On the boot, Vaughn has created a “leather” strap with elastic in the middle. This gives the goalie control when they need it, but give for when they are moving around the crease. This boot strap can be angled and moved to be positioned behind the heel or under the heel, all depending on the goalies preference.

New for Vaughn’s design is the Reactive Rotation Control strap which sits above the calf, but below the knee. This is a large padded strap with an elastic core which gives the goalie the desired attached feel they are looking for. Also, this strap connects with a magnetic buckle which makes it easier for the goalie to attach and improves durability over time.
