The Brian's G-NETik 8.0 series is a more affordable option, in contrast to the pro-level G-NETik 3 leg pads, for growing and intermediate level goaltenders. The G-NETik 8.0 leg pads feature an external double knee break for increased flexibility, making it easier to close up the 5-hole. In addition, the leg pad also features Brian's smart strap system as well as the ability to install traditional leather belts. Finally, the knee block is the maximum IIHF legal size to elevate the goaltender higher in his/her butterfly and reduce stress on the lower body joints.
