Available in Youth, Junior and Intermediate sizes.
Junior & Intermediate Features:
Build
Rebound-Positive Padding: Designed to fire pucks away from the crease, Vaughn's SLR4 leg pads are padded with stiffer, high-density foams.
Medium Flex w/ Single Internal Break: Vaughn's SLR4 pads are built around their medium flex core, with a single internal break below the knee. On ice, their medium, single-break core offers a rigid feel with a bit more flex in the thighs.
Solid, Low-Profile Outer Roll: The SLR4 leg pads feature a solid outer roll, with a low-profile bevel to keep the pads rigid while helping to reduce skip-over.
Leg Channel & Boot
Medium Flex, Scoop-Shaped Boot: Carried over from the SLR3 pads, Vaughn's scoop-shaped boot offers a wide butterfly and good post coverage, with a good balance of flex. Additionally, the SLR4 Intermediate pads are built with a flat instep; sitting higher on the skates and reducing binding for quick and smooth pad rotation.
Widened, Molded Foam Knee Cradle: Widened over their previous SLR3 Intermediate pads, the SL4 Intermediate pads' knee cradle offers improved rotation with more room for the knee. To further improve their rotation, the SLR4 leg pads are standard with a molded foam knee cradle and removable outer wing.
Widened Calf Plates w/ QuickSlide: The SLR4 pads feature Vaughn's Balance Stabilizer inner edge panels, widened over the previous SLR3 pads to improve butterfly stability. Wrapped in Vaughn's QuickSlide for quick and controlled movements, the SLR4 Intermediate pads' calf plates are backed with an inner support cushion to improve comfort and pad seal.
Fit & Feel
RRC+ Calf Strapping: Vaughn's Reactive Rotation Control Plus calf strapping offers improved pad position and rotational control, allowing goalies to fine-tune strapping tension at both the upper and lower calf. For those who prefer or need to swap them out, Vaughn's RRC+ strapping is easily removable.
Bungee w/ Clip Toe Ties: Elastic toe ties secure each boot with more give over traditional skate lace toe ties, offering improved edge control and greatly reducing lower body strain.
Lightweight, Streamlined Leg Channel: The SLR4 leg pads are built to balance mobility with comfort, lined down the leg channels with a plush, breathable mesh.
