Best Price Promise
Vaughn’s Pro V Elite 2 Carbon senior goalie leg pads are the evolution of the older Pro V Elite. Utilizing the soft pad face of the VE8, and mating it to the SLR strapping to create a hybrid of the two. The Pro V Elite also features a brand new graphic to visually separate itself from the other Vaughn pads available.
External Material
The Pro V Elite Carbon features good old synthetic leather for most of the construction of the pad, as well as the traditional Vaughn Nylon and Airknit in the leg channel. The big feature here is the quickslide inner gusset, which lowers drag and increases the slidability of the pad massively.
Internal Construction
Vaughn has used an internal construction very similar to the VE8 pad in the Pro V Elite. It utilizes slightly more carbon in the area above the top break in the pad. This extra carbon helps to keep the shape of the pad over time as well as surface area in the butterfly.
Pad Break
Vaughn has decided to go with a single internal, single external break on the Pro V Elite to match the VE8 line of pads. The single break construction allow for a reasonable amount of flex for the goaltender, but still keeps an “arrowhead” shape when the goaltender drops into the butterfly directing pucks to the corners.

Goalie Leg Pads Sizing
Deciding your Goalie Pads size is crucial for having total control while moving in the crease. Sizing your pads properly is the difference between getting that perfect seal on your butterfly, and feeling clunky or unprotected in the net. Below we have compiled some information to better assist you in deciding which size is right for you.
Floor-To-Knee Measurement
Your Floor-To-Knee measurement will give you a good indication as to what "Pad Size" you will need. This measurement can be matched up with the provided sizing chart above.
How to Measure your Floor-To-Knee
- 1. In your bare feet, place the soft measuring tape at the inside of the bottom of your foot.
2. Slightly bend your knee.
3. Run the soft measuring tape up your shin, to the middle of your knee.
4. Match your Floor-To-Knee measurement with the provided sizing chart
What to look for when trying on your new pads.
Once you have your new leg pads, you’ll need to make sure they fit you properly. To do so, you’ll need to put the pads on with your skates. There a couple things to do to check size, once you have the pads on:
1. Stand straight and bring your feet together. This will show you the overall height of the pad, while on. Your pads should not be taller than your hips. Ideally you want the top of your pad at the half-way point of your thighs. A pad fitted for a young growing goaltender can be a little taller, so a little above the half-way point is normal.
2. Next you want to get in your stance, keep your hands in a ready position, and drop to your butterfly. Without moving your legs to correct your butterfly, bring your heels together. This is where you assess your knee position. For a proper fit, you want the middle of your knee to sit directly on the center of the knee stack. If you’re looking for growing room, you want the middle of your knee to land roughly 1.5” below the center of the knee stack (1” for JR).
Not getting a complete seal while in your butterfly?
If you're having trouble getting a full seal in your new pads, it may be the way you’re strapping them up. Make sure your boot strap and top straps (above knee) are loosened up a bit. The reason you want these straps loose is because they have a direct effect on the rotation of the pad. Having a loose boot strap makes it easy for your foot and ankle to rotate as the pad moves. Same goes for the top straps, as you don't want them pulling down too hard on the thigh rise.
