The Brian's Heritage leg pads encompass the tradition and craftsmanship that Brian's has been known for since 1984. The Heritage series combine the modern designs of Brian's more recent equipment with the aesthetic of their older equipment.
The leg pads take from the original G-NETik pad and the newest G-NETik 3. The overall construction of the Heritage pad resembles the original G-NETik pad; a soft pad with a stiff face, for a traditional feel with modern day rebound control. The thicker, solid knee stack and the landing gear are taken entirely from the G-NETik 3.
The rest of the pads are detailed with Brian's traditional aesthetics. Traditional knee rolls, leather strapping, and the original Air-Pac graphic give the Heritage series pads a true taste of the glory days. There's also an extensive use of Nash in the knee cradle and leg channel, to give that softer and traditional feel to the pad. No Smart Strap Technology is used on the Heritage series leg pads.

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.
