Padding around the clavicle, shoulders, and ribcage helps mitigate puck impacts in areas that may remain less covered by the primary equipment. A loose goalie-specific fit, moisture-wicking fabric, and mobility-focused construction support comfort throughout practices and games.
Key Features
Targeted Padding
Protective padding is positioned around the clavicle, shoulders, and ribs to complement the main goalie equipment.
Loose Goalie Fit
The shirt is designed to sit comfortably underneath a chest protector without unnecessarily restricting movement.
Moisture Management
The performance fabric helps move sweat and moisture away from the body for a more comfortable feel during play.
Arm Mobility
Underarm gussets allow more natural arm movement during saves, stick handling, and crease movement.
More Secure Positioning
A drop-tail hem helps reduce the shirt riding up underneath equipment.
Technology and Construction
FleXorb
FleXorb padding is designed to help absorb impacts while maintaining the mobility required by a goaltender. The padding supplements a goalie chest protector and is not intended to replace it.
Strategically Positioned Padding
The protective sections cover selected areas of the upper body that can be exposed to pucks passing through gaps in the primary equipment. Padding focuses on the clavicle, shoulders, and ribcage.
Performance Base Fabric
The textile helps wick sweat and moisture away from the body. This reduces the feeling of wet fabric underneath bulky goalie equipment.
Underarm Gussets and Drop-Tail Hem
Gusseted underarms support a greater range of arm movement. The extended rear hem helps keep the shirt positioned during crouching, butterfly movements, and other goalie-specific actions.
