Best Price Promise
Building off a very popular debut for the CCM Premier Pro, the 2017 Premier Pro chest & arm protector is a revamped version that focuses on maximizing protection, fit and durability. A more extensive use of D3O Smart Material and additional torso length highlight the changes made to the Premier Pro.
Like the original Premier Pro, the sternum guard has been made with high performance D30 foam technology to fully protect the goaltender while keeping the unit mobile. This Premier Pro features additional D3O on the arm floaters, to ensure stable protection. D30's impressive absorption properties make it perfect for the Premier Pro as the material remains flexible until impact.
The arms on the other hand, include wrap around molded bicep and forearm protection to guard the goaltender while allowing air channels to increase breathability throughout the arm. The elbow blocks on the front of the arm are constructed with molded PE foam and fully squared off to maximize coverage.
Lastly, the back features an adjustable fit system with the use of Velcro to help the Premier chest/arm sit at the desired place on your body while the spine pad lies flush along your back. CCM has even included Velcro tabs to help adjust the shape of the shoulder floaters for a more anatomical fit.
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.
