The new Epic 8600 leg pads feature full pro specifications with narrow side profile providing a lighter weight pad allowing for quicker leg movements. The pads front surface features new revolutionary rebound control foam that effectively deadens shots to provide lower rebounds and greater puck control. The Epic 8600 size and dimensions complies with all new league rule specifications. Full length leg and knee cradles feature adjustable knee and leg lifters that allow precise adjustment of leg height off the ice when going down on the inside pad edges. This keeps the knee and leg supported above the ice and provides superior ergonomic leg position to allow for maximum leg extension while reducing stress on the knee and hips. New design on the inside edge of the pad gives a flat inner edge and knee platform for improved body balance. The narrower side panel reduces pad drag to allow for quicker pad slide along the inner edge and properly positions the pad on the ice to give maximum leg support and to keep the pad face square to the ice for greater net coverage. Knee hugger curved shap in the top section of the pad keeps the pad from drifting away from the knee and closes the top thigh portion of the pads when down on the ice reducing five-hole gaps. Large outside rolls prevent puck skip over and provides a defined outer pad edge that increases net coverage and stabilizes the pad height to limit height compression. Large curved thigh boards provide additional knee and thigh protection and function to help increase five-hole coverage.
