Engineered for lightweight, superior flexibility to enhance control, allowing for greater pad extension. Squared-up profile maximizes blocking surface both in standing and fully extended position. Straight inside design maximizes coverage along the ice when pad is fully extended. Deep side profile surrounds more of the leg for unparalleled fit, comfort and stability. Thinner thigh rise improves pant/ pad interface for increased freedom of movement. Inner thigh wedge reduces skip-over while maximizing stopping power. Wider, squarer top provides better coverage along the ice when pad is fully extended outward. Plus sizing (standard 1” longer top) creates extra blocking surface.
