The True Catalyst 5X6 Goalie Leg Pads are designed for the recreational but still competitive goaltender, featuring a focus on control, mobility, and a connected feel throughout every save. The traditional knee roll design gives the pads a softer, more flexible core, helping absorb shots and keep rebounds close for better second-chance control.
Movement stays smooth and natural, whether sliding post-to-post or dropping into the butterfly, with a strong seal in both the butterfly and RVH. The FRS Strapping System keeps everything secure with multiple adjustment points, allowing goalies to fine-tune fit, rotation, and overall balance during play. For the skate connection, a hybrid toe system holds the pads in place while allowing freedom of movement, reducing strain and helping goalies stay quick and fluid in the crease.
