The Bauer Reflex RX4 Leg Pads offer flexibility and coverage that make them perfect for hybrid style goalies. The RX4 Leg Pads are lightweight and are constructed with a flat face design to help goaltenders control rebounds.
Being that flexibility is such a key aspect for the hybrid style goalies, it is nice to see that Bauer has made the RX4 leg pads using their Regulated Flex system. The RX4 leg pads use the "Soft" flex set up which means they are very flexible with break points above and below the knee. That flexibility allows the pads to move with your leg, even in more unconventional stances. The RX4 leg pads also utilize a square design at the thigh and boot to provide maximum coverage of the net. The face of the RX4 leg pads differs from the RX6, as it uses a flat face design. The flatter face will allow for easier directing of rebounds.
Bauer has used their integrated under-pant thigh protector to ensure that the gap between the pants and the leg pads is fully protected. The RX4 leg pads also use a very thick middle layer in the knee stack to provide great shock absorption when your dropping into position.
The RX4 Leg Pads are perfect for the goalie who is looking for lightweight and affordable pads.
