The Vaughn ION Select Goalie Pants are a new release from Vaughn for the 2026 season. They include an expanded front area to accommodate larger cups, and the front panel design enhances flexibility. The large double-layered segmented front flex padding and a padded belt for increased protection and adjustment.
External Material
The Outer Shell of the ION Select pants are made up of 400D nylon water repellent material. This design keeps the pants light from water and other moisture that may add extra weight to the pants. The material is also very durable and will protect the pants from cuts, allowing them to last longer.
Fit
These pants have a wide 5” crotch stretch which is designed to increase the flexibility of the pants. These pants come with a wider loose style fit, which promotes flexibility, allowing goalies to not feel restricted or weighed down while wearing these pants.
Waist Closure
To adjust the pants, Vaughn added an adjustable belt that by simply pulling the strap, you can tighten the pants to a preferred fit, and by pulling on the adjustable buckle, goalies can release the tension. The pants also feature a lace-up front closure to provide an extra layer of security for these pants.
Hip Protection
To ensure complete protection, these pants feature molded hip padding. The molded hip padding is designed to sit right around the hip areas and provide protection to the surrounding areas through a series of integrated HD foams.
Thigh Protection
The wide 11” molded thigh guards have been implemented to increase overall net coverage. The double layered thigh padding over the inner thigh provides protection from all impacts, especially in the critical areas where you need padding the most. The pants also have inner thigh stretch panels which allow the thigh guards to wrap around the leg and provide coverage all-over.
Kidney & Spine Protection
The ION Select Goalie Pants feature molded kidney pads that are reinforced with HD foams to provide coverage. Around the back of the pants, Vaughn added an extra tail bone pad that extends to cover the lower back.
Liner
Vaughn’s Sportmesh liner helps to keep these pants cool and comfortable, offering a quick-drying, plush feel against base layers.

Goalie Pants Sizing
Goalie pants offer substantially more protection than their player counterparts: the hips are reinforced with high-density foam instead of a thin layer of nylon/elastic, the thighs of a goal pant are usually squared off for coverage purposes and made with thick plastic and foam while the waist is also beefed up to protect vital organs. Lastly, the way the two pants move is even different: player pants are designed to move back and forth while goal pants are more effective for lateral movements.
Properly sized goal pants are the difference between having your chest protector ride up and seamless integration for unrestricted movement. After all, they do connect the biggest pieces of gear a goaltender wears—their chest/arm and leg pads.
The first step is to approximate the size using the sizing charts listed on any individual goal pant’s product page on our website. Usually this is accomplished by matching a waist to a given size. Sometimes companies (ex. Vaughn) will list an oversized waist; you can match your size by adding 8” – 10” to your measured size to effectively use the chart. Matching up waist sizes exactly isn’t always necessary. It is very common for goalies to wear pants that are wider to increase net coverage, mobility and comfort.
Unlike player pants, the goalie version isn’t necessarily always worn directly on the waist. It is very common for goaltenders to wear their pants high on the waist (oversized) with suspenders, or so low and loose (undersized) that the leg pads are the only things holding them in place. After deciding which one feels more comfortable for your playing style, it is important that the pant is sized such that they terminate above the kneecap—leaving ample room for the knee wing of the leg pad to rest on the inside edge of the knee.
Another thing to consider is if the goalie wears his/her chest protector tucked into the pant or outside. If you’re the former, a pant with an internal belt, non-tapered waist and bigger size is going to accommodate the extra bulk from the chest/arm. On the other hand, if you’re wearing the chest protector on the outside, a tapered waist is going to reduce interference and improve feel.
Lastly, it is crucial to ensure that the pant works well with additional knee protection and the leg pads as well. We recommend trying everything on at once to make sure there is limited interference and that there is enough space in the thigh cradle (inside the pant’s leg) for knee protection to reside without overly restricting movement.
