Reshaped from the outgoing SLR4 Pro chestie, Vaughn's Ion Pro Chest & Arm Protector is built to take the crease in confident comfort while coming in at a more accessible price point.
Coverage / ProfileMolded Plastic Elbow Caps w/ Extended Profile: The Ion Pro chest protector wraps the elbows with HD foams molded around a rigid plastic core, enhancing coverage against stray pucks. Wide Shoulder Profile: Wide shoulder floaters maximize upper body net coverage and protection, built with a high-density impact foam core for confident coverage at the highest levels of the game. Shortened Belly Coverage: Redesigned with consumer and athlete feedback, the Ion Pro belly protection is shorter compared to its predecessor, the SLR4 Pro chest protector. On the ice, this ensures a comfortable, seamless fit for a wider range of goalies.
Protection Additional Bicep & Forearm Padding: Designed for pro-spec protection, the Ion Pro chesty's forearms and biceps are lined with increased padding that extends behind and down the side of the bicep. HD Foam Sternum: Built for confident coverage, the sternum on Vaughn's Ion Pro chesty is layered with high-density impact foams and reinforced with a rigid composite .Molded Front & Shoulder Caps: For further upper-body protection and to suit a wider range of fits, the Ion Pro chest & arm protector is built to ensure complete shoulder coverage, even against off-angle shots.
Fit & FeelMoisture-resistant Lining: A lightweight lining not just helps to keep goalies cool and comfortable on the ice, but also reduces the growth and settlement of odor-causing bacteria off the ice. Adjustable Back w/ Dual-Strapping: Separately adjustable strapping around and just below the ribs makes it easy for goalies to dial in their preferred fit. Tapered Forearms w/ Adjustable Wrists: Not just offering a better fit for the goalie, this chest protector's tapered arms help to reduce binding between glove and blocker cuffs.
