New for 2021 is the mid-level version of Brian's Optik 2 gear with the Optik X2,, this new blocker provides great protection with it's HD side wall & finger protection that covers all around the hand. The cuff has an open design for improved mobility without sacrificing protection from those odd pucks that sneak up on you, the finger protector guards have a slight beveled design to allow you to go fingers down on your grip with your stick that does not affect the feel or play. This series is a great choice for that price conscious elite level goalie.
