The Vaughn VP VENTUS SLR3 CARBON Senior Goalie Chest and Arm Protector is not just another piece of equipment; it's a testament to dedication, passion, and relentless pursuit of perfection in the game of ice hockey. Crafted meticulously for the elite-level goalies, this protector stands as an embodiment of lightweight finesse coupled with unwavering protection. Every design decision, from the large, flat-style shoulder floaters to the cushion padding, is informed by the needs of modern goalies, ensuring maximum net coverage and presenting a formidable barrier to potential goal shots.
One of the standout features of this product is its composite reinforcement. The Ventus line has always been synonymous with strength, and the SLR3 iteration takes this to a whole new level. Super high-density foams combined with cutting-edge composite materials ensure that puck impacts are not just absorbed but deadened, minimizing the risk of rebounds and ensuring the goalie remains in control of the game. The sternum pad, made with pure composite material, further elevates the central protection aspect of the unit.
A goalie's movements are as crucial as their protective gear. Recognizing this, the Vaughn VP VENTUS SLR3 CARBON Senior Goalie Chest and Arm Protector boasts a multi-flex design. Whether tucked or untucked into the pants, this design ensures that the protector adapts to the goalie's style, not the other way round. The adjustable portion of the arms, redesigned to perfection, ensures goalies of all builds find their perfect fit in length. With such attention to detail, the protector doesn't just fit; it becomes an extension of the goalie.
Mobility and protection are often seen at two ends of a spectrum. But with the SLR3, they harmoniously coexist. The arms of the protector, for instance, retain the popular mesh material ensuring swift mobility while the tapered forearm padding, coupled with HD and carbon-reinforced arm floaters, offer unmatched impact resistance. Even areas prone to direct hits, such as the elbows, are surrounded by molded inner and outer mid-elbow protection, ensuring 360-degree safety.
