- Reshaped after 2 years on the ice and in the hands of pros, Brians’ second generation Iconik pads debut with an all-new combination calf-knee strapping and 3 dynamic core options.
Construction- Refined Core: Built to move, the new Iconik 2 core options from Brian's offer a lighter feel compared to the previous generation, with the R-Flex core representing their lightest core to date.
- BRI-CORE Reinforced Thigh Rise: Familiar to fans of Brians' elite goalie equipment, their BRI-CORE Carbon-composite reinforcement helps to maintain a strong pop and tight seal through the thighs without compromising a lightweight, quick response.
- Thinned Profile: Another performance-focused generational improvement, the thinned Iconik 2 pad profile moves with a quicker, more responsive feel compared to their predecessors.
- 87° Toe Taper: Standard Brian's builds their pads with a modest, 87° toe taper. On the ice, this slight taper eases pad rotation without sacrificing too much post coverage at the toes.
Core Options- Regular (R): Lightest and softest core option, built with a soft Hyperflex boot, leading up to a midflex through the knee and thigh.
- Cross (X): Slots between R and S cores, bridging the Hyperflex boot and stiff thigh with a midflex knee.
- Stiff (S): Stiffest core option, combining the Hyperflex boot with Brians' stiffest available knee and thigh flex.
Inner Edge and Outer Roll- Opti-Slide Sliding Edge: Rigid, high-density foam inner edges provide plenty of clean, bindingless space to navigate the crease from. Furthering both slide speed and control, Brians' highly-durable cross-hatched Primo Slide material wraps each inner edge.
- One-piece SBA Knee Block: Built to outlast and outperform, the Iconik 2 pads land with one-piece, high-density knee block, delivering a confident sense of precision control while also greatly enhancing durability. To add some additional traction, a soft synthetic suede, SBA, tops the knee block.
- Squared, Dual-Density Outer Roll: A no-break outer roll reinforces the outside edge, lined with dual-density foams to absorb impact energy and help reduce skip-over.
Strapping- Smart Strap Calf w/ Independent Knee (Shown Above): Secures with the adjustable A-strap smart strapping over the calves and independent behind-the-knee strap as seen with the Optik 4 and first generation Iconik pads.
- Combined Knee-Calf Strapping (Custom Option, Not Shown): Debuting with the Iconik 2 pads, the calves and knees are secured with a single, easily-adjustable strap. Compared Brians' more traditional design, using independent calf strapping and an independent knee strap, Brians' combined knee-calf strap secures the pads higher up the calves while keeping the knee and lower calves less restricted.
Fit and Comfort- Airknit Mesh Lower Leg Channel: While the previous generation Iconik pads were entirely lined with the tacky synthetic suede, SBA, the Iconik 2 pads are lined through the shins with a lightweight, more breathable Airknit Mesh.
- Smart Toe Bungee Toe Ties: Included standard, Brian's Smart Toe Bungee toe ties secure the pads while allowing the skates a greater range of motion, improving edge control and reducing lower body strain.
- Knee Wing & Professor Strap Integration: The Iconik 2 pads feature a removable knee wing and include built-in tabs that offer an optional upper calf strap (professor strap) and optional knee pad integration.
