The Quick Release palm is constructed from a durable synthetic leather material that's been reinforced with an additional Sure Grip Clarino layer for added grip and better stick handling. Micro fiber materials are used to wick moisture around the cuff, and protective finger flaps. A knitted air mesh material in the fingers offer enhanced breathability and comfort.
Blocker board protection comes from a 1 1/2" dual density PE foam core as well as a 1/16" poly insert that helps disperse the shot impact. Reebok's Pre-Curved Shape lines the outer rim of the blocker board and helps prevent puck skip-over. Max Coverage technology helps the goalie close off the 6th hole with the large inside thumb and wrist blocking surface. Reebok's Solid Seal technology protects your hand and fingers with the large side flap and 7-piece wraparound finger protection that molds to the paddle of the stick.
