Intro & New Features
The Vaughn Velocity VX1 Pro goalie leg pads are new from Vaughn as part of their 2025 Velocity collection. The pads are equipped with many features that make it a reliable pad including a lower profile outside roll with single break, an outer knee cradle pad that is removable and adjustable, and a reinforced instep with flat profile to facilitate skate movement during pad rotation.
External Material
The VX1 leg pads use Vaughn’s renowned Canadian made quality. Using only the best materials available to them, the VX1 Pro 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
The VX1 leg pads feature a traditional three knee roll design and includes layers of carbon fiber for reinforcement. The pads include a pre-curved shape and scoop bend that gives a traditional shape and soft feel. Vaughn also included a firm internal core with HD side rails for greater pad stability. Finally, the pads have a lower profile, single break outer roll to provide good flexibility white further reducing the weight of the VX1 Pro leg pad.
Pad Break
A single external break below the knee is seen on the VX1 Pro leg pads, combined with a soft core and boot, the pads retain the soft, forgiving, traditional feel of previous Velocity line leg pads.
Knee Cradle
The knee cradle of the VX1 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 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 VX1 Pro features a redesigned strapping system and calf wrap allowing for a simpler, quicker and lighter system. Vaughn also 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 widened inner leg cradle overall when compared to previous Velocity pads, giving goalies the feel of tight fitting leg channel while offering the better rotation associated with a looser leg channel.
Toe Taper
The toe on the VX1 leg pads features a taper allowing for superior mobility and recovery pushes while not sacrificing any seal or coverage.

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.
