Built to pro-spec in Oxford, Michigan and London, Ontario, the Ion Pro Select pads take the crease with a rigid, butterfly-oriented design, prioritizing high-speed post-to-post stability with strong rebounds.
Build
Carbon Core w/ Composite Facing: Vaughn's Pro Select Carbon Core construction is built to pro-spec, taking the crease with a rigid stability and high-pop from a combination of dense foams and composite layering.
Stiff Thigh w/ Soft Boot Flex: Built around a stiff flex thigh, the Ion Pro Select pads offer a quick, tight sense of control above the knee, complemented by a softer boot to help hug the posts.
Beveled, Low-Profile Outer Roll: A solid outer roll keeps the Ion Pro Select pads rigid, while the outer roll's low-profile bevel helps to reduce skip over.
Knee Block & Cradle
Directly-Integrated Knee Block: In keeping with the Ion pads' stiff, responsive play style, the knee blocks anchor directly into the pad core. On the ice, this helps to keep a tight seal and a more direct response between the knee block and the pads.
Open Knee Cradle: Compared to their predecessors, the SL4 PC pads, the Ion pads debut a flat knee cradle design. On the ice, the Ion pads' flat, open knee cradle help the pads to control and rotate faster around the knees, and allow for a wider range of independent knee protection options.
Fit & Feel
RRC+ Calf Strapping: Vaughn's Reactive Rotation Control Plus calf strapping offers improved pad position and rotational control, allowing goalies to fine-tune strapping tension at both the upper and lower calf. For those who prefer or need to swap them out, Vaughn’s RRC+ strapping is easily removable.
Bungee w/ Velcro® Toe Ties: Elastic toe ties secure each boot with more give over traditional skate lace toe ties, offering improved edge control and greatly reducing lower body strain.
Leg Channel & Boot
Scoop-Shaped Boot w/ Flat Instep: Familiar to fans of Vaughn leg pads, a soft-flex, scoop-shaped boot is built for precise post-to-post coverage while allowing for a more ergonomic feel down through the ankles. Complementing Vaughn's ergonomic scoop-shape boot, the Ion Pro Select pads are built with an almost entirely flat boot instep, easing pad rotation and further increasing ankle mobility.
Balance Stabilizer Plates w/ QuickSlide: Built for a stiff, responsive feel, the Ion Pro Select pads land on Vaughn's Balance Stabilizer inner edge design. Wide, reinforced calf plates wrapped in QuickSlide support the calves for a better, more ergonomic sense of stability.
Knee-to-Floor Measurement: Without shoes or skates, measure the vertical distance from the floor to the middle of the knee cap. Refer the K-t-F measurement to the chart above to find the goalies' recommended base leg pad size.
Please Note:
*Thigh rise height has not been included as thigh rise is largely player preference. Retail stock pads are typically produced in standard thigh rise heights of +1, +1.5, or +2. K-t-F is primarily used to fit the pad.
