The Vaughn Ventus SLR4 Pro Carbon Chest & Arm Protector is a state-of-the-art chest and arm protector meticulously designed to provide ultimate coverage and impact resistance. Engineered with precision and loaded with advanced features, this protector sets a new standard for goaltending equipment.
The molded HD shoulder caps, accompanied by shoulder cap extensions, offer added upper body coverage, ensuring that no inch is left exposed. The sternum pad is fortified with HD foams and composite reinforcement, strategically reducing impacts to keep you safe in the heat of the game.
Molded plastic arm caps with an extended wrap-around design and extended back arm padding at the forearm and bicep provide comprehensive coverage and flexibility. The large shoulder floaters are shaped for maximum net coverage, while the dual back strap system allows for greater adjustability to tailor the fit to your preferences.
Versatility meets performance with a chest pad design that can be worn inside or outside of pants, staying higher on the shoulders for an increased blocking surface. The full Pro-spec domestic construction ensures durability and reliability, making this protector a top choice for elite-level play.
The new main arm floaters are sewn down to the arms for added stability, and the forearm tapers at the wrist for a better fit with gloves. HD and carbon-reinforced main arm floaters dissipate impacts effectively, providing superior protection. The suspender retention strap on shoulder floaters and the new floating-style elbow pads improve fit and comfort, allowing for optimal performance on the ice.
A mesh arm base offers flexibility and ventilation, keeping you cool and comfortable during intense gameplay. The back spine pad, equipped with HD foam inserts, adds an extra layer of protection. The wide profile design increases net coverage, while adjustable wrist straps ensure a secure fit.
Enhance your side arm coverage with the side bicep extension, featuring increased padding for greater impact resistance. Available in two striking color combinations, Black/Lime Green or Black/Sport Gold, and a range of sizes including XS, S, M, L, XL, and custom sizing – this chest and arm protector is the epitome of performance, protection, and style for goaltenders at any level.
Goalie Chest Protector Sizing
Sizing a chest protector is important to ensure the goaltenders range of motion is uninhibited, while still offering complete coverage from impact. There are steps necessary to finding the right fit in your chest protector, and the first is to know your measurements. Here at The Hockey Shop, we like to use two measurements: torso length and arm span. Once you have these two measurements, match your measurements to our sizing charts.
Sizing your Chest Protector
After receiving your chest protector, you are going to want to check if the size fits the following criteria:
- 1. The arms end just before your wrist. This is important because you want to ensure that the wrist portion of the arms do not interfere with your blocker and catcher—this still provides adequate growing room for the blocker and trapper, which usually last you 1 to 2 years. Depending on the model, adjustable arms may be an offered feature, which is an added bonus for goaltenders that are still growing.
2. Your elbows fit securely in to the pocket of the elbow protection, and do not shift too far away from them. Keep in mind, arms usually have to be adjusted while putting on your chest & arm. Use the adjustable arm features where given to give you an optimal fit.
3. Make sure the shoulders of the chest & arm are sitting comfortably atop, and wrapped around your shoulders. This can be seen visually by looking at the collar of the chest & arm. You want the collar to sit slightly above your clavicle, but not too high that it interferes with the bottom of your goalie mask.
Each brand of chest & arms will have not only a different shape, but also a slightly different fit. We highly recommend having one of our Goalie Specialists to assist you in optimizing the fit of your Chest Protector. If you can't make it into the store, give us a call so we can walk you through it.
