The CCM Extreme Flex E5.5 YTH Chest Protector brings mobility, coverage and protection to the young goalie. The E5.5 features CCM's Max Flex fit design and a high density foam construction to keep you protected while being extremely mobile.
Internal Foams
The CCM E5.5 Chest protector is equipped with PE foam throughout which gives it a light, mobile feel without sacrificing protection.
Body
The body uses PE foam throughout giving smaller goalies the impact protection they need for their level of play. CCM worked to improve the protection in the ribs extending the wrap further around the body adding coverage where it's needed for plays off the post.
Shoulders
Featuring segmented and contoured shoulder floaters, the E5.5 is designed to maintain coverage and presence in the net, while allowing for easy head movement and a close-to-the-body feel. The shoulder caps on the E5.5 are made up of compression-molded PE foam for optimized protection.
Arms
Through the use of a velcro adjustment system, the arms on the E5.5 chest are ideal for growing goalies or those who want to be able to fine tune the fit of their gear. The arms use a similar construction to that of the E2.5 using PE foam. The elbows of the E5.5 are independently adjustable from the rest of the arm strapping to further customize the fit and are equipped with a comfort fit elbow cap that locks the arm into place.
Back Straps
The E5.5 features 2 back clips on either side to put the unit on. These clips are protected by high density foam pads, which reduce the risk of breakage from puck impacts
Sizes & Colors
The CCM Extreme Flex E5.5 Youth Chest Protector is available in a OSFA youth size, and in one grey/black/red/white 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.
