The Vaughn Velocity V9 Pro Carbon leg pads are designed to give the elite level goaltender the ideal combination of modern technologies with a traditional feel. Built with a Pure Carbon insert running the length of the pad along with high quality foams, the V9 Pro Carbon is able to offer a soft feel while remaining durable and maintaining its easily flexible pre-curved shape.
Compared to the VE8, the V9 Pro Carbon has a slimmer profile including a thinner upper thigh and a streamlined outer roll giving it a lighter feel. The core of the V9 Pro Carbon also features a firmer face giving rebounds a more active, lively feel off the front of the pad.
The use of a QuickSlide inner landing area gives the pad a significantly improved slide while a calf pillow and a tighter fitting calf wrap paired with Vaughn’s RRC strap allow you to remain in control of each motion and feel like the pad is an extension of your leg. A soft, Nash-like material lines the knee cradle creating a comfortable feel while the use of their MSH technology allows the pad to rotate into the butterfly quicker.
The wide knee cradle and removable outer knee wing allows for easy integration with knee pads of all sizes. QuickSlide is also used in high wear areas such as the outside of the knee block, toe binding and upper thigh in order to increase the durability of the V9 Pro Carbon.
The velcro and elastic boot strap allows for flexibility and easy adjustability while the bungee toe ties relieve stress off of your hips while still keeping you firmly attached to the toe bridge without running the risk of coming undone like other velcro options. Finally, as with all pro level Vaughn pads, custom colours, sizing, graphics and other options are all available.
External Material
The V9 Pro Carbon leg pad takes advantage of Vaughn’s renowned Canadian made quality. Using only the best materials available to them, the V9 Pro Carbon uses a durable leather face combined with a QuickSlide slide surface and toe binding for superior slide and durability in high wear areas. A soft, comfortable Nash-like material lines the knee block, upper calf and instep leading into the calf wrap made of a breathable, durable nylon interior with a lightweight mesh exterior.
Internal Construction
Like the VE8, the the V9 Pro Carbon pad features a traditional three knee roll design and includes layers of carbon fiber for reinforcement. However, the core of the V9 Pro Carbon has been redesigned to be thinner, lighter and to give off harder, more active rebounds. A pre-curved shape and a scoop bend gives the V9 Pro Carbon the traditional Velocity shape and soft flexible feel that users of previous Velocity line pads and other hybrid pads alike will appreciate.
A lower profile, single break outer roll provides good flexibility while further reducing the weight of the V9 Pro Carbon pad. The squared off upper thigh provides better seal and coverage compared to previous Velocity pads and other softer pads. Finally, as the name implies, the V9 Pro Carbon utilizes layers of Vaughn’s new Pure Carbon running tip to toe on top of their sturdy pro core allowing it to maintain its shape while still providing the familiar Vaughn cushion that they have become famous for.
Pad Break
A single external break below the knee is seen on the V9 Pro Carbon pad, combined with a soft core and boot, the V9 Pro Carbon pad retains the soft, forgiving, traditional feel of previous Velocity line pads that hybrid goalies know and love.
Knee Cradle
The knee cradle of the V9 Pro Carbon features a widened knee landing area for improved integration with knee pads of all sizes. Different knee blocks varying in thickness and density will be available in order to provide a truly customized fit.
The outer knee wing is made of nylon and is laced in allowing it to be adjusted or removed entirely. The center of the knee cradle features Vaughn’s MSH which speeds up pad and leg rotation when dropping into and recovering from the butterfly.
Strapping
The V9 Pro Carbon features a redesigned strapping system and calf wrap allowing for a simpler, quicker and lighter system. Vaughn uses a velcro Reactive Rotation Control strap that sits on the upper calf to allow for quicker yet more controlled pad rotation while giving the pad a connected feel. The calf wrap uses a single velcro strap to seal its extended wings that offer better coverage over those of the VE8 shut.
While still a fairly tight fitting leg channel, the V9 Pro Carbon has a widened inner leg cradle overall when compared to previous Velocity pads giving goals the feel of a tight fitting leg channel while offering the better rotation associated with a looser leg channel. Finally, the V9 Pro Carbon features a velcro bootstrap as well as the same bungee toe tie system seen on the SLR2 leg pads.
Toe Taper
The toe on the V9 Pro Carbon pad features a taper similar to that seen on the VE8 allowing for superior mobility and recovery pushes while not sacrificing any seal or coverage.
Sizes & Colors
The V9 Pro Carbon leg pad will be available in a full intermediate and senior size range, starting from 31”+2, 32”+2, 33”+2, 34”+2, 35”+2, 36”+2, 37”+1. From retail they’re available in a number of stock colours however, if choosing to order custom any combination of sizing, colours and other custom options are available.

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.
