Brian's OPTIK X4 JR Goal Pads

The Brian's OPTIK X4 Junior Goalie Pads give young goalies a lighter, easier-to-manage version of Brian's modern flat-face OPTIK design. The pad combines a supportive upper profile with a softer boot, adjustable strapping and a Primo sliding edge so developing goalies can practise proper rotation, butterfly positioning and lateral movement without fighting an oversized or overly rigid setup.

Brian's OPTIK X4 Junior pad features

• Lightweight junior build: Scaled materials and dimensions make the pad easier for young goalies to rotate, recover and control throughout a game or practice.
• Flat, laceless face: The clean surface provides predictable rebounds and gives the pad a modern blocking-style appearance.
• Supportive thigh and softer boot: The upper pad helps form a stable butterfly seal while the lower section allows more natural movement around the skate.
• Primo sliding edge: Brian's sliding material supports smoother lateral movement as goalies develop crease pushes and recovery technique.
• Adjustable calf system: OPTIK-style strapping can be tuned for comfortable tension and reliable pad rotation rather than holding the leg too tightly.
• Secure skate connection: A durable elastic boot strap helps maintain pad-to-skate connection while allowing the ankle to flex.
• Customizable knee area: The dual-option knee strap, removable knee flap and Pro 2 knee-pad compatibility allow the landing area to be set up around the goalie's protective gear.
• 80-degree toe taper: The tapered boot area reduces interference during stance movement and helps the pad rotate into the butterfly.

Youth and junior size guidance

In this listing, the 25+1 size is positioned as a youth option, while 27+1 and 29+1 are junior sizes. Proper pad selection should be based on the goalie's floor-to-knee or ankle-to-knee measurement, skate size and knee placement—not age alone.
