Brian's builds the Optik X4 goalie blocker to offer a strong pop with a light, balanced feel, at a more accessible price point.
Construction
Balanced, Neutral Hand Position: The Optik X4 blocker's neutral hand position centers the blocker's weight over the goalie's hand. In practice, this gives the blocker a nimble, more balanced feel.
Reinforced Sidewall w/ Squared Thumb: A rigid sidewall lined with high-density impact foams gives this blocker a solid, confident feel, complemented by a squared cut out to enhance stick control.
Removable Sidewall Thumb Pillow: A plush thumb pillow provides extra padding behind the sidewall, and is easily-removable for those who prefer.
Fit & Feel
Reinforced Palm: The Optik X4 blocker features a premium, synthetic suede palm, reinforced over the center of the palm and index finger with an embossed suede. Similar to SureGrip, the embossed suede layer helps to provide a moisture-resistant grip with improved durability.
Traditional Strapping: A durable hook-and-loop strap secures the wrist, padded in with a breathable mesh to ensure a snug and comfortable fit.
Hinged Cuff w/ Open Backhand: A low hinged cuff and open backhand helps to reduce binding between the blocker's cuff and chest protector sleeves. On the ice, this gives the Optik X4 blocker a responsive, precision feel.
Hand Length: Measure from the base of the palm to the tip of the middle finger.
Fitting: In most cases, sizing to the same age group as the goalie's leg pads should provide a proper fit. To ensure proper control, the glove/blocker should feel snug across the back of the hand with the fingers reaching the end of the finger stall(s).
*Please Note: Senior Gloves/Blockers with an Int. or XL palm are available through Brian's Custom only.
