Constructed with high quality materials, this catcher is made with JenPro external material that allows the catcher to hold its shape for longer. With a large perimeter design, and added foam in the palm to increase protection, this catcher is a great option for hockey players. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eExternal Material \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nVaughn uses the JenPro material on the outer construction of this catcher. This durable material provides the glove with a reliable and solid outer build, and it helps keep the catcher in shape for longer. JenPro is a trusted material and is found on nearly all of Vaughn’s goalie equipment because of its reliability, appearance, and overall performance that it provides. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBreak Angle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis catcher has been designed with a 60-degree break closure. The 60-degree break closure is a deeper, more full-hand closure that is unlike what has been done before in previous years of Vaughn catchers. It provides a good balance of coverage and mobility. The downwards angle of the palm creates a large catching surface that can help goalies make catches on high shots, while also allowing for quick, fluid movements when making saves in tight. The angle of the palm is designed to align with the natural curvature of the hand, which can help to reduce stress and fatigue on the wrist and hand over time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePocket Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pocket is designed with a wide span and deep T-trap construction. The reinforced double T-top allows for greater stability when making glove saves. It offers two separate for the puck to settle into, which can help improve control and prevent the puck from popping out upon impact. The fit of the catcher is designed to be game-ready right off the shelf. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePalm Material \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nVaughn designed the palm of this catcher to be both protective and comfortable. It has added foam into the palm area, which is designed to provide an additional layer of protection against impacts. The durable, integrated foams distribute impact force away from the palm, so that goalies can be protected while making saves. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCuff Design \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe ION catcher is designed with a floating cuff design. A floating cuff is designed to separate the wrist strap and protective cuff from the main body of the glove. This design offers three main benefits for goalies. This cuff offers enhanced wrist mobility and range of motion, an improved stick control and puck handling, as well as seamless integration with the chest protector. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStrapping \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTo keep the catcher in place, Vaughn added a padded wrist strap. The padded wrist strap can be tightened or fastened as needed for goalies to achieve a fit that is tailored to their specific needs, while also providing protection from impacts. There is also a backhand strap that is adjustable and is designed to keep the catcher on the goalkeeper's hand, providing protection and comfort. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSizing \u0026amp; Colors \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Vaughn ION Intermediate Goalie Catcher comes in the following colors: Black, White, White\/Black, White\/Blue, and White\/Red.
