The TRUE Catalyst Nitro Goalie Leg Pads are a new product in the Catalyst goalie line along with the 2026 season. They focus on mobility, protection, and maneuverability while maintaining a high standard for TRUE leg pads. These pads are equipped with JenPro, a single inner and outer pad break, and the FRS strapping system to keep the leg pads in place.
External Material
TRUE continues to use their JenPro material because it has a solid reputation for being a dependable choice for creating the pads exterior. The choice to go with JenPro highlights its demonstrated performance and longevity, making it a reliable option for preserving the appearance and functioning of the pad. This material is highly valued for its resilience to abrasion, guaranteeing durability and strength across a range of circumstances.
Internal Construction
The Nitro leg pads utilize an advanced, multi-layer internal construction designed for elite mobility and rebound control. They feature ultra-light Super Critical Foams for an active core, composite-reinforced thigh rises for a rigid five-hole seal, and hard, high-density foam in the face to generate powerful, zone-clearing rebounds.
Pad Break
These leg pads are designed with a single break on both the inner core and outer roll. This construction includes a softer, more flexible shin and boot area that transitions into a staffer upper section, providing the ideal balance of butterfly seal, five-hole coverage, and mobile post-integration.
Boot Angle
The regular boot angle offers a great balance between coverage and mobility. They sit higher on the skate, providing good coverage, while still allowing for some flex and toe drag. These pads are a common choice for goalies who want a traditional feel with good coverage and the ability to push off the post.
Strapping System
The FRS strapping system secures the pads with a wide, plush wrap, internally adjustable at two different points to allow precision tuning of the pad's fit. Additionally, TRUE's FRS helps to better balance the pad's weight around the goalie's calf, offering improved rotation with enhanced butterfly stability.
Calf Wrap
The Fast Response System (FRS), located on the calf features a dual internal adjustable strap for stability, weight distribution, and enhanced comfort, which optimizes agility and responsiveness providing precise control and support.
Knee Block
The Nitro leg pads feature an adjustable knee stack and stiffness block that is designed to let goalies fine-tune how the pad behaves in the butterfly. An integrated strap on the knee block allows you to change the pad’s feel. Tightening it creates a stiffer, locked-in knee stacks for a slide push platform, while loosening it allows for more torsional flex and quicker rotational transitions.
Sizing & Colors
The TRUE Catalyst Nitro Senior Goalie Leg Pads come in sizes 24+2”, 26+2”, and 28+2”. These leg pads also come in White, White/Black, White/Red, and White/Royal.

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