Goalie Blocker Brian’s Optik X4 INT

The Brian’s Optik X4 INT uses a neutral palm position to centre the blocker’s weight directly over the goaltender’s hand. This creates a balanced, agile feel that supports quick reactions and controlled stick handling. Its reinforced construction provides a solid feel without making the blocker unnecessarily cumbersome.

Key Features

Light and Balanced Feel
The neutral hand position distributes the blocker’s weight evenly over the hand. This makes the blocker easier to control during active stick work and quick movements around the crease.

Reinforced Side Protection
The rigid sidewall is lined with high-density impact foams. This construction provides stable support around the hand and helps absorb puck impacts.

Confident Stick Control
The squared thumb cutout leaves space for a natural grip on the goalie stick. A removable pillow behind the sidewall allows the amount of thumb padding to be adjusted according to personal preference.

Secure Wrist Fit
A traditional hook-and-loop strap secures the blocker around the wrist. Breathable mesh padding helps create a snug and comfortable fit.

Technology and Construction

Reinforced Synthetic Suede Palm

The premium synthetic suede palm is reinforced through its central area and index finger with an embossed suede layer. Similar to SureGrip, this treatment helps resist moisture, maintain contact with the stick and improve durability in high-wear areas.

Reinforced Sidewall and Removable Thumb Pillow

The rigid sidewall combines high-density foams with additional padding around the thumb and side of the hand. The plush thumb pillow can be easily removed when a goaltender prefers a roomier feel.

Hinged Cuff with Open Backhand

The low hinged cuff and open-backhand construction help reduce binding against the sleeves of a chest protector. This allows the wrist to move more freely during saves, puck handling and passing.

Who Is This Product For?

The Brian’s Optik X4 INT is intended for Intermediate goaltenders who prefer a lightweight, neutrally balanced blocker with a mobile wrist, rigid side profile and adjustable thumb padding.
