Intro & New Features
The OPTIK X4 line is the latest release from Brian’s OPTIK collection. The X4 leg pads have many features to make it great including a Primo sliding edge, streamlined outer roll, and a removable knee flap.
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 goaltenders 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 meticulous redesign, resulting in the lightest construction to date.
Pad Break
The OPTIK X4 leg pads use a single 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.
Boot Angle & Toe Taper
The pads use an 80° toe taper to further enhance that seal potential along the ice, while still allowing for some flexibility and additional mobility.
Knee Cradle
The OPTIK X4 uses the Pro 2 Knee Pad System from the G-NETiK series, which is compatible with Pro 2 knee pads. Depending on your personal preferences, you can attach the knee pad or leave it independent. The knee cradle is padded and made of mesh for good protection and aeration.
Strapping
The pads feature multiple strapping systems to keep the gear nice and snug while allowing for optimal rotation and responsiveness. The OPTIK series continues to use the adjustable smart strap system over the calf, which offers reliable responsiveness and connection with the gear. Over the Smart Strap is an outer to inner strapping system that has been designed to stretch from the outer calf wrap toward the inner wrap. With the elastic slide plate connection, there is less pull, ensuring greater stability and control. There is also an additional optional upper calf wrap attached to the pads to offer a solid anchor point that doesn’t restrict movement.

The Brian’s OPTIK X4 Senior Goalie Leg Pads come in White, White/Black, White/Red, White/Blue, White/Black/Red, and Black with sizes 33, 34, 35, and 36 +1” being available.

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.
Ankle-To-Knee Measurement
Your Ankle-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 Ankle-To-Knee
- 1. In your bare feet, place the soft measuring tape at the inside of the inside of your ankle.
2. Slightly bend your knee.
3. Run the soft measuring tape up your shin, to the middle of your knee.
4. Match your Ankle-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.
