Brian?s G-Netik 8.0 goalie pads are the one step down model from the pro-level G-Netik Pro III series. These pads are a great option for a goalie looking for a durable, protective pad in a more affordable option. These pads are ideal for goalies that play house league or men?s league a few times a week. The main different between the G-Netik 8.0 and G-Netik Pro III models are the external materials and overall weight of the pad.
These pads weigh in at 5.6lbs and are constructed with synthetic leather for durability. The internal core of the pad features a mixture of high density and low density foams offering excellent protection against shots. The double external knee break increases flexibility making it easier to close the 5-hole and the maximum size knee block elevates the goalie higher in the butterfly position to reduce stress on joints and make backside pushes easier. The knee block and knee cradle are constructed with Primo synthetic material which is highly durable.
The top of the knee cradle has a Velcro piece making it easy to attach Brian?s knee guards to the pad to help keep them in place (knee guards not included with these pads). The strapping in these pads features Brian?s smart strap system making it easy for kids and adults to strap their pads up. With the use of Velcro, overall pad weight is reduced and the fit is more customized. There are slots to install traditional leather straps if preferred (sold separately).
