The pads are equipped with many features that make it a reliable pad including an easy-flex lower scoop secretion of pad and inner core, a rebound-positive design and construction for active rebounds, and a smooth flat instep area for increased pad rotation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eExternal Material \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nVaughn uses the JenPro material on the outer construction of these leg pads. This durable material provides the pads with a reliable and solid outer build, and it helps keep the leg pads 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. These leg pads also include a Quick-Slide inner edge material that is designed to reduce friction on the ice for quick movements. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInternal Construction \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe ION leg pads are designed with a stiff upper thigh rise, which provides a more reliable five-hole seal and prevents the pad from folding or twisting when pucks hit the upper area, as well as providing more predictable and consistent rebounds. The pre-shape profile on these pads helps close the five-hole in the butterfly position and create a more natural, snug fit along the leg. Additionally, Vaughn constructed these leg pads with a tapered outer roll. The tapered outer roll offers reduced pad interference, significant weight savings, and more predictable and angled rebounds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePad Break \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThese goalie pads are designed to have no break. The stiff, flat-faced core with zero breaks provides a rigid structure that maximizes butterfly coverage, powerful sliding, and predictable rebound control. The solid outer roll is designed to maximize coverage, provide better puck deflection, and maintain the structural integrity of the pad, especially when dropping into the butterfly position. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKnee Cradle \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe knee cradle of the ION features a widened knee landing area for improved integration with the knee pads of all sizes. The outer knee wing is made of nylon and is laced in allowing it to be adjusted or removed entirely. The wide leg cradle also provides firm leg support to goalies while in the butterfly position. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBoot Angle \u0026amp; Toe Taper \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe steep boot and 90 degree toe taper on these leg pads provide a tighter seal along the ice and prevent the pad from shifting or over-rotating. This offers goalies many important benefits like better ice seal, preventing pad lean and slip, and controlled rotation to make movements feel more natural.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n\n\u003ch2\u003eStrapping \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTo keep all of the protection in place, Vaughn added a series of straps to ensure the security and padding of this leg pad. The ION pads feature a velcro inner calf strap with a velcro landing to properly secure the leg pad, while there is also an adjustable knee strap that can be fastened to a fit that is specific for each goalie. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSizing \u0026amp; Colors \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Vaughn ION Intermediate Goalie Leg Pads come in sizes 29+2”, 30+2”, and 31+2”.
