Vaughn Velocity 9 Intermediate Goalie Pads

Brand new for 2020, Vaughn Custom Sports is proud to unleash their newest version of their Velocity Line, the Vaughn Velocity V9 Intermediate Goalie Leg Pads.

With the Velocity line being the most accomplished and successful line of butterfly oriented pads in the last 20 years, Vaughn has made specific and key changes to the V9 Intermediate pads to enhance their visual look, slide and overall performance on the ice.

Starting with the graphic, the V9 leg pad features sharp and distinct lines to create a tall visual look. The inside edge is strategically built with Vaughn’s QuickSlide material which is visually and physically different from regular synthetic jenpro. This inside edge has also been reinforced with harder foams. With these harder foams and QuickSlide material, it creates one of the best slides that any Vaughn pad has ever had.

Internally, Vaughn has stiffened up the core of the pad, so the pad sits consistently on the goalie’s body over time. With this stiffer core, goalie’s do not need to worry about the pad shrinking as they will get the proper fit and feel throughout the entire life of the pads. The stiffer core also helps with kick rebounds out further than before. This will ultimately help the goalie get rebounds safely to the corner and out of danger.

Moving to the top of the pad, the thigh rise has been overly squared to help seal the five hole perfectly on the ice. The top binding has been reshaped and slightly recessed to help closure in the butterfly. While this might be a minor detail, it helps prevent the pads from poking into one another without losing coverage. The outer roll has been dramatically lowered in height to further aid in the closure of the five hole and even save weight. With the lower profile outer roll, the goalie can keep their stick closer to the pads.
