Brians

Brand new for the fall of 2021, Brian’s Custom Sports proudly introduces their newest pad line to the world; introducing the Brians G-Netik V Pro! While being custom handcrafted in Canada, Brian’s has taken feedback from their pro advisory team and retail consumers alike to provide high end levels of equipment designed for today’s butterfly goaltender. Following the success and popularity of the visual look of the G-Netik IV, Brian’s has added more color zones while keeping the long lines across the legs to visually distract shooters on a flat and laceless pad face. Additionally, the “knee rolls” make their return on the outside of the pad next to the outer roll, keeping the G-Netik V’s legacy as more of a hybrid style pad. Internally, Brian’s has found great success with their Torsion Flex technology and has improved upon it for the G-Netik V, providing the most responsive internal core they have ever made. The torsion flex allows the entire pad to twist and follow a goalie’s natural movements, while still providing a strong seal and rigid shape when set. Coupled with a thicker inner thigh ridge Brian’s had developed and an all new Bri-Core triaxle carbon-fiber composite reinforced thigh, the G-Netik V has significantly increased rigidity through the thigh and a tighter seal at the top of the pad along the ice. All this allows the goalie to make any save they need while moving and still having a solid seal along the ice to keep any pucks from leaking through. Keeping with the success Brian’s has had with both the Optik and G-Netik lines, the G-Netik V has an Opti-Slide inner edge; a bindingless primo sliding surface combined with a higher density foam and laced in knee block to provide goalies with the best slide around. An angled outer roll is more defined on the G-Netik V than you will find on the Optik models, providing a wider looking outer roll while still allowing for a larger blocking surface on the face of the pad. Moving to the back of the pad, Brian’s has kept the simplified Smart Strapping system after receiving nearly universal positive feedback following its introduction. The large Y-shaped calf strap makes its return, running from the inside to the outside of the calf. At the knee, the single strap which can be worn directly behind or angled down to the calf is also back, as well as the removable outer knee flap; allowing for a customized fit to fit any goalie’s preference. New this year is a built in tab to allow for the easy addition of a professor strap to control rotation around the upper calf. Throughout the knee and leg channel, the G-Netik V features a full layer of SBA material on the knee block, back of the pad, outer knee lock and even throughout the shin to help grip the goaltenders leg to prevent over rotation. Down in the boot, the G-Netik V has primo throughout the boot to create a positive rotation for the skate to engage with the ice and also increase durability from the skate rubbing on the pad. The boot and toe have some new updates which include Brian’s new Smart Strap toe cord which is made of an elastic shock cord. This Smart Toe design builds off of their previous generation which provides better durability and a more responsive pad. The boot section is finished with the Smart Strap boot which is made of a high end nylon designed to provide great durability but a lightweight simple strapping system to keep the foot in the pad. If you are an elite-level goalie looking for the best combination of a butterfly oriented goal pad with hybrid features, all wrapped with simple smart strapping made in the Canadian factory, the Brians G-Netik V Pro Senior Goalie Leg Pads are for you.

New for 2021, Brian’s Custom Sports has released the Intermediate offshore version of the widely popular Brian’s Optik 2 line, the Brian’s Optik X2 Intermediate Goalie Blocker. Starting off with the face of the Brian’s Optik X2, the graphic features a similar graphic to the domestic Optik 2. With aggressive lines and edges, mixed with strategic polymesh vents, this graphic really stands out. Looking at the board of the Brian’s Optik X2 Goalie Blocker, you will notice the beveled nose shape that helps cut down the overall weight of the blocker while giving the goaltender a balanced feel. Even with this design, this blocker still has a thick board that sits across the back of the wrist and hand to give the goalie the protection and balance needed to make key saves. Flipping around to the palm side of the Optik X2, a flared cuff gives the goaltender a wide opening to provide great mobility for blocker projection as well as reduce potential interference with a chest protector. On the wrist, a Velcro strap runs from the side wall across the wrist that helps provide the goaltender with their preferred fit and help stabilize the sidewall to give full control over the unit. Next, the blocker palm has a reinforced grip material to provide optimal grip while fitting snug to the goaltender’s hand without loosening up. On the sidewall and index finger you will find HD foam sewn around to protect the goalie from pucks riding up the stick. If you are an intermediate-level goalie who is looking for a lightweight and well balance blocker that offers great designs inspired by the domestic counterpart, look no further than the Brian’s Optik X2 Intermediate Goalie Blocker.

New for 2021, Brian’s Custom Sports has released the Intermediate offshore version of the widely popular Brian’s Optik 2 line, the Brian’s Optik X2 Intermediate Goalie Catcher. Starting off with the face of the Brian’s Optik X2, the graphic features a similar graphic to the domestic Optik 2. With aggressive lines and edges, mixed with strategic polymesh vents, this graphic really stands out. Moving on to the build of the Optik X2, a one piece cuff design gives a naturally large appearance for better visual representation to the shooter. On to the pocket and closure, a redesigned shape on the build with a single T creates a deep large pocket for the goaltender to further help with visual representation and catching surface that will help naturally guide pucks in to the pocket. Topping off the pocket, the same 40 degree break angle from the Optik predecessors is implemented to give the goaltender a closure that is generated by the goalies fingers and finger tips, but has a break that aligns the palm that gives a game ready feel. Internally on the Optik X2 Intermediate, a grip material is used through the hand to provide a comfortable feel that provides grip when the goaltender’s hand sweats. On the wrist area, a floating wrist pad that sits slightly off the base of the catcher is utilized to give the goaltender maximum flexibility when reaching toward pucks, along with a nylon strap pulls over top that is easily accessible for quick adjustments. On the back of the hand, a pad sits over the top below the fingers with an adjustable strap to provide the tightness the goaltender prefers. Capping off this entire design is Brian’s Airknit finger gussets to help promote breathability and airflow throughout use. If you are an intermediate-level goalie who is looking for a lightweight catcher with a game ready closure, look no further than the Brian’s Optik X2 Intermediate Goalie Catcher.
