The Tour Vulture Pro 9000 Goalie Leg Pads offer protection suitable for up to intermediate levels of roller hockey or recreational ice.
The Vulture 9000 leg pads use an ULTRA Lite foam to provide quality protection with a very lightweight feel. Tour has used 3 flat knee rolls in the face of the pad to provide additional protection at the knee. The Vulture 9000 has a face width of 12" which means they do not abide to the 11" USA Hockey rule, but are legal for roller play and could be used for recreational ice play. The outer roll on the Vulture 9000 leg pads has angled design to help control rebounds down the rink. The inner side of the pad uses a flat design to allow you to keep the pad flush on the rink. The inner side also uses a large flat pad which will help to cover more of the five hole.
The Tour Vulture leg pads use a 3 layer knee stack to provide maximum comfort, support, and protection. The inner layer is a soft foam that contours to your knee providing a comfortable fit. The middle layer is a thick high density foam that will reduce the impact on the knee when you drop down. The outer layer is a thin molded poly and foam pad covered with synthetic leather to allow for easy side-to-side movements as well as provide additional protection from shots. The leg channel on the Vulture 9000 pads uses two thin foam pads with a mesh liner. This will allow for a very comfortable fit around the calf as well as a quick drying process because of the mesh liner.
The Tour Vulture 9000 Leg Pads offer a high level of protection with an intense Vulture design.

Previous Feedback
Comments: very good pad. a bit on the heavy side for a pad designed for roller hockey however they are flexible and move well with you. they do give up rebounds though until broken in, after then they respond well to the puck. over a very good buy would recommend for any level of roller i used the in my advanced league and they are fine.
From: Brian, Buffalo
Comments: Really nice pads in general, really flexible, nice fit on the leg, nice for the butterfly style too. the only thing is that the velcros are not really ajustable in all but it still be a very good buy.
