Vaughn chest protectors account for 50% of all chest protectors worn in the NHL. The Vaughn Velocity VE8 Pro Carbon Chest Protector series is built for the hybrid style goalie. The Velocity VE8 Pro Carbon Chest Protector is the newest generation of the Velocity V7 XF Carbon Pro series. The XF was Vaughn’s top selling pro unit. The shoulder floaters on the VE8 Pro Carbon Chest Protector contour around the goalie in a very natural manner allowing for the maximum amount of flexibility. Vaughn also added a second layer of protection built underneath the shoulder floaters, this second layer is velcro’d in and can easily be taken out or put back in.  Some goalies love to have this added layer in practice for additional protection and take it out in games for added flexibility.  For 2018 Vaughn has added a strap at the top of the shoulder floaters that can be snapped and unsnapped. The reason for this is for goalies who wear suspenders.  Traditionally goalies have fought to find a place to put their suspenders, often times the suspenders would slide down over the goalies shoulder and interfere with the goalies arms.  By having these straps, the suspenders are locked into the proper position and cannot fall down over the goalies arms.  The blocks in the chest and sternum area use a high density hd foam with carbon fiber reinforcement. This provides pro level protection and added durability. Everything about the VE8 Pro Carbon allows the goalie the flexibility and agility needed in a hybrid style of play.

Differences between the Ventus SLR Pro Carbon and the VE8 Pro Carbon Chest & Arm Protectors:  The main difference between the SLR Pro Carbon Chest Protector and the VE8 Pro is the shoulder area.  The Ventus SLR has a larger and more squared off design to the chest protector.  The VE8 Pro Carbon unit tapers to the goalies body in a very natural flow of the shoulder area.  For goalies that have issues with the mask hitting the shoulder floaters when they turn their heads, the VE8 has much less size in this area and generally eliminates the issue of the mask hitting the shoulder floaters.  Generally the goalies that are blocking or butterfly style goalies prefer the SLR Ventus and the goalies that are athletic and mobile like the VE8 Pro Carbon unit.
