Flexibility helps out young goalies even more than it helps out bigger guys that take up much more net. With a focus on flexibility, and carrying over the size from the original Eflex Shield line, the E2.5 junior goalie chest protector brings something to the table for all kinds of goalies.
The biggest improvement from its older siblings on the E2.5 chest protector is its mobility. By separating the chest piece it affords much more flex horizontally to help goalies get a much better ability to trap pucks against their chest in the basket catch position.
Our Source for Sports spec also includes a big improvement on the already great protection of the E2.5 chest protector. On the Source Exclusive spec, we have upgraded the belly protection with HD foam, making sure that a a stinger won't sneak through and hit a soft spot. The Source Exclusive spec also has an exclusive white and red colourway to help goalies stand out at the rink.
The E2.5 is the perfect chest protector for a goalie that wants to move and doesn't want to sacrifice protection when doing it.
Source Exclusive Upgrades:
- Source Exclusive: Improved HD Belly padding
- Source Exclusive: Custom colourway
Goalie Chest Protector Sizing
Sizing a Goaltenders Chest Protector is important to ensure the range of motion is not impeded, while still offering complete coverage from impact. There are steps necessary to finding the right fit in your Chest Protector, and the first is to know your measurements.
Finding The Right Size - Measuring Arm Span
To measure your arm span, hold your arms out and measure from wrist to wrist. Start from the bottom of one forearm (you’ll see a bone where your wrist is) and measure to the other. Avoid measuring from fingertip to fingertip, as hand size is not relative to arm length. You do not want the Chest Protectors arm lengths to be too long and interfere with the Catcher and Blocker.
Making Sure Your Chest Protector Fits Properly
Below are some good criteria to follow to make sure your Chest Protector fits properly.
- 1. The arms of the Chest Protector end just before your wrist. This is important because you want to ensure that the wrist portion of the arms do not interfere with your blocker and catching glove. Depending on the model, adjustable arms may be an offered feature, which is an added bonus for goaltenders that are still growing. If the arms are too long, or too short, check the arms of your Chest Protector to see if the length can be adjusted.
- 2. The elbow of the goaltender fits securely into the pocket of the elbow protection, and doesn't shift too far away from them. Keep in mind, arms usually have to be adjusted and positioned properly while putting on your chest protector.
- 3. Make sure the shoulders of the Chest Protector are sitting comfortably and wrapped around your shoulders. This can be seen visually by looking at the collar of the Chest Protector, looking to see the shoulders are sitting in the pocket of the shoulder caps. You also want to make sure that the collar of the Chest Protector doesn't sit below the clavicle, exposing the goaltenders collar bone.
