Intro & New Features
These Brian's Eclipse Senior Goalie Leg Pads feature custom Eclipse-inspired graphics. Built on the ICON1K platform, they're designed specifically for the modern butterfly goalie. This goalie set combines much of Brian’s best tech into a single package to deliver top-tier protection and agility. These pads feature a Bri-Core reinforced thigh, a single break, a laceless front face design, and Smart Cord toe strappings, embodying the perfect fusion of precision and customization for today's elite goaltenders in a stock pad.
External Material
The front has a flat-faced, laceless design to ensure a streamlined, responsive fit, while the squared outer roll incorporates reinforced dual-density padding for added rigidity and protection. Brian’s has also included their Opti-Slide, a primo sliding edge with a bindingless sliding surface, higher-density foam, and a laced-in back knee block for a strong sliding performance.
Internal Construction
The pads' thin profile construction not only enhances the goaltender's sightline but also significantly reduces weight, which is huge for keeping ahead of today’s game. The incorporation of Bri-Core, a triaxial carbon fibre composite reinforced thigh, imparts substantial rigidity to the thigh area, ensuring enhanced stability and protection. Moreover, the core has undergone a meticulous redesign, resulting in the lightest construction to date— surpassing its predecessor, the GNETIK V, by a remarkable 20% reduction in weight.
Pad Break
The ICON1K uses a single pad break design for a natural, responsive feel and precise positioning. This break is generally catered more toward butterfly goalies, so they can have the strong response and reliable seal they need to stop the puck and control the front of the net. The pads are available in regular or stiff profiles at custom.
Boot Angle & Toe Taper
The pads use an 87° toe taper to further enhance that seal potential along the ice, while still allowing for some flexibility and additional mobility.
Knee Cradle
The knee cradle features a laced-in outer knee flap, giving goaltenders the option to choose between an open or closed cradle configuration to suit their playstyle. Additionally, the double-laced, one-piece knee block allows for a consistent landing position, providing stability and reliability when making crucial saves.
Strapping
The Smart Cord bungee toe strapping ensures a secure fit while lessening tension on the joints. With a built-in tab that accommodates an optional upper calf strap, goalies also have the flexibility to customize their strapping setup to their liking, adding another layer of personalization. The calf wrap strapping, equipped with simplified and fully adjustable smart straps, offers precise tension control without impeding rotation, so goaltenders can move freely and confidently in the crease.
