True Catalyst 7X3 INT. Goal Pads

The TRUE Catalyst 7X3 Intermediate Goalie Pads bring the familiar Lefevre-inspired Catalyst shape to competitive intermediate goalies who want stable butterfly coverage without an overly bulky pad. A thinner, more rigid thigh rise helps the pads overlap cleanly in the stance, react quickly during drops and recoveries, and press firmly into the ice when the goalie seals the five-hole.

TRUE Catalyst 7X3 Intermediate pad features

• Rigid thigh-rise core: High-grade materials and increased stiffness above the knee support a dependable butterfly seal and make it easier to direct rebounds away from danger.
• Thinner thigh profile: Reduced bulk through the upper pad improves pad overlap and helps the goalie move between the stance, butterfly and recovery positions with less interference.
• Stable knee stack: Increased knee-block rigidity gives the goalie a more planted landing platform and helps maintain pressure through the top of the pads.
• Controlled flex: A single-break core and single-break outer roll provide a balanced, slightly curved shape with a softer feel than TRUE's stiffer HZRDUS-style pads.
• FRS strapping: The lightweight calf system is designed for fast adjustment, reliable pad rotation and a connected feel around the leg.
• Lower-pad connection: A fixed one-inch nylon strap below the knee, bungee toe system and boot-strap-free setup support mobility around the ankle and skate.
• Open knee integration: The recessed knee zone and removable inner knee wrap allow the pad to work comfortably with modern goalie knee protection.

Who should use the Catalyst 7X3?

This intermediate model is a strong choice for developing and competitive goalies who prefer a traditional-looking pad with modern butterfly stability. It suits goalies who want a thinner thigh rise, controlled rebounds and a responsive setup rather than the extra stiffness and rebound speed of a more rigid blocking pad.
