New for 2022 is the SLR3 goalie pants from Vaughn. These pants have been built wider and taller, with various high-performance and protective properties. This tech includes inner thigh five-hole blockers, molded kidney protection, a taller upper waist section, and an extended upper tailbone padding. The SLR3 series is optimized to enhance performance in the butterfly position.
External Material
The outer material is made of tough polyester, known for its reliability and cut resistance. The inside liner is made of mesh to promote ventilation and breathability, keeping you nice and cool while you play.
Fit
Sticking with a similar theme to the SLR2, the SLR3 goalie pants have a loose-fit style. Certain parts of the pants have been lengthened and/or widened to add protection and more net coverage. The crotch area has been widened for improved flex, and the tailbone padding has been lengthened for increased lower back protection.
Waist Closure & Internal Belt
The inner belt features double pull adjustment straps for easier application and a more tailored fit. The purpose of the belt is to help the pants sit up on your hips without you needing to wear them too tightly. The outside is additionally held together with skate laces for a personalized fit and feel.
Hip Protection
At the waist, Vaughn outfitted the SLR3 Pro pants with molded kidney protection to ensure coverage in that sensitive area, while also keeping you comfortable. The upper tailbone area is extended and contains HD foam inserts to protect that area as well.
Thigh Protection
The thigh padding is wide and curved for better net coverage (11” in width). The inner thigh section has been furnished with five-hole padding blockers to cover that area and aid in making those kinds of saves.
Leg Extension
The SLR3 goalie pants do not feature a leg extension option.
Knee Pad Attachment
The SLR3 goalie pants do not feature a knee pad attachment; however, a garter belt can be purchased separately.
Sizes & Colors
The Vaughn Ventus SLR3 Pro Senior Goalie Pants come in sizes Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large, and the following stock colours: Black, Navy, Red.
When deciding on a size, it’s recommended that you add 8-10 inches to your actual waist size to accommodate the space needed for the extra padding thickness and chest protector.
