When purchasing a new pair of goalie leg pads, there are many factors to consider to ensure that you get the model that fits your level and style of play the best. If you’re unsure which leg pads are right for you, or if you need help with sizing visit your local Pure Hockey.
The True Catalyst Nitro leg pads feature a 30 percent increase in thigh rise stiffness, paired with a more rigid knee stack, enhancing seal to the ice when dropping down and facilitating easier redirection of pucks. The Nitro’s also has a new 40 percent thinner thigh rise, allowing for easier transitions in cross crease movements.
The loose-fitting leg channel combined with the FRS strapping system allows for optimal leg positioning and pad rotation. The new knee stack construction and improved rigidity provides greater stability. Combined with the stiffer thigh rise, it allows for more pressure on top of the pads in butterfly, leading to an even better seal to the ice. The recessed knee block features a hyper absorbent knee stack for enhanced protection from repeated impacts.
These pads also have a shallower in-step on the boot for increased transition speed and faster pad rotation. The PCS toe bridge is specifically designed to optimize post seal and improve energy transfer when in the RVH position. For the toe ties True uses Pro Laces elastic system bungee cord with skate lace taking pressure off your hips and knees in the butterfly and RVH.
If you’re a goalie playing 4-5 times a week and want the most out of your pads, the new True Catalyst Nitro leg pads are a great option.
Built with ultra-low friction materials, the DiamondGlide slide surface provides unmatched sliding ability across all ice conditions. Whether the ice is fresh, soft, or rough, goalies can rely on a consistent, effortless slide to move quickly and efficiently in the crease.
The adjustable stiffness knee stack allows goalies to fine-tune their setup by tightening or loosening an integrated strap to achieve their desired stiffness. This customization delivers the perfect balance of comfort and responsiveness, no matter the style of play.
The introduction of our new SCF foam has reduced the overall weight of the pad while enhancing rebound control. This innovation gives goalies a quicker, more responsive feel, allowing them to control rebounds more effectively and move across the crease effortlessly.
TRUE's FRS allows goaltenders to achieve a secure, personalized fit that keeps the pad connected to the leg through every movement, delivering greater stability and confidence across the crease.
The patented PCS (Post Connection System) toe bridge is specifically designed to optimize post seal and improve energy transfer when in the RVH position. By providing goalies with a stronger push-off the post, the system enhances stability and control during one of the most critical movements in the modern game.
