New for 2016, CCM Premier R1.5 Leg Pads are innovative to say the least. Pads provide players with a No break outer flex to maximize coverage, a precurved single break core closing the 5 hole in the process. Boot flex angle has been increased to a 60° to direct pucks to the side/corner. Shallow boot channel provides faster transitions into butterfly. Pads have a loose fit 1 calf strap (Senior ONLY)for a lightweight set up with optimal placement on the calf for a quicker response. Junior and Youth models feature a 2-strap option for calf strap. Single adjustable knee (or below knee) strapping for a customized fit. Senior models feature recessed foam no wrap. Junior & Youth model(s) feature a soft foam no outer knee wrap. Core is constructed of a new lightweight High Density / Low Density foam offering the greatest weight balance for quicker transitions into butterfly. Knee raiser is PE foam, sealing pads to the ice. Thigh Protector is legal thigh and knee protection to guard the top of player's knee.
