The Vaughn Velocity V9 Pro Carbon Goalie Pants are for the elite level goalie who wants a lightweight pant that offers good protection. Using a nylon external construction wrapped around HD foam padding with Vaughn’s Pure Carbon reinforcement in key areas providing superior impact resistance. The V9 Pro Carbon pant uses an Aero-Spacer mesh lining giving goalies a lightweight, comfortable lining with superior ventilation. A flared waist allows for goalies to wear their chest protector tucked or untucked while a more anatomical, tapered fit through the thigh gives better mobility while not sacrificing coverage. The V9 Pro Carbon pant features a wider hip and groin offering more room for a bigger double cup style jock. Moulded hip padding with inner cushion pads increase the hip protection while offering improved comfort. The groin uses a large flexible segmented pad that provides good protection while offering unmatched flexibility. A dual belt system gives goalies the option to use the padded internal belt to tighten the pants down to the hips while the external belt is used to set the height at which the pants sit. Finally, Vaughn uses their classic Thigh Cradle Technology to aid in thigh stability.
External Material
The V9 Pro Carbon pants use a durable nylon external construction paired with HD foam inserts. As the name implies, layers of Pure Carbon are used on the thigh, groin and tailbone to provide increased protection. An Aero-Spacer mesh lining provides good comfort and ventilation.
Fit
A flared waist combined with a taller front section and a wider hip section means an increase in volume allowing for more room for bigger double cup style jocks. A tapered fit through the thigh allows for more mobility and less interference with pads and knee pads.
Waist Closure & Internal Belt
A dual belt design allows the internal belt to snug the pants around the hips while the external belt helps keep them secure sitting at a comfortable spot on the waist. The internal belt is padded for added comfort when tightly secured.
Hip Protection
The hips of the V9 Pro Carbon utilize a moulded hip padding with added cushion pads in order to offer superior comfort and protection. A wider fit through the hips gives goalies more room leading to a better fit and more coverage.
Groin Protection
A large, flexible segmented groin pad provides good protection while remaining flexible and mobile. Volume was added to the front of the groin in order to offer increased compatibility with larger double cups.
Thigh Protection
A rounded, anatomical design allows the V9 Pro Carbon pant to sit tighter to the leg allowing for increased mobility while not sacrificing coverage. The V9 Pro Carbon pants use Vaughn’s Thigh Cradle Technology to provide superior thigh stability. A slimmer, more rounded thigh design allows for better mobility and less interference.

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.
