Used Vaughn Street Leg Pads Black MD

Product Overview

The Vaughn Street Goalie Leg Pads are a durable, entry-level option from Vaughn's street hockey lineup, specifically engineered for young or recreational goalies (typically ages 10-14 or players 4'8"-5'4" tall) playing on pavement, asphalt, or indoor surfaces where abrasion resistance and lightweight mobility take precedence over ice-specific butterfly dynamics, offering reliable puck deflection and knee coverage without the bulk or cost of pro ice pads like the Velocity series. Constructed with a tough microfiber outer shell for superior scuff and tear resistance against rough street environments, these pads feature a multi-density foam core (softer EVA in the knee and calf for flex, firmer HD blocks at the shin and thigh for impact absorption) that contours to the leg for a natural stance during dives, blocks, and recoveries, with a flat knee roll design and single outer break to promote quick slides and controlled rebounds on non-ice terrain. The black colorway delivers a sleek, low-profile aesthetic that's easy to match with street hockey jerseys or casual gear, while the integrated calf wings and adjustable thigh straps (nylon with quick-release buckles) ensure a secure, customizable fit that accommodates growing legs or layered socks; ventilation mesh panels along the sides enhance breathability to prevent overheating during intense ball games or roller sessions. In Medium (MD) sizing (often equivalent to junior/intermediate, around 28-29" overall length with +1.5-2" thigh rise), they suit floor-to-knee measurements of approximately 14.5-15.5 inches (37-39.5 cm), covering average calf profiles (10-12 inches around) for players up to 120 lbs—measure from floor to center of kneecap while standing straight, aiming for the top of the pad to hit mid-thigh when feet are together for optimal coverage without restricting hip rotation. User feedback from Canadian Tire and street hockey forums praises their value (e.g., "tough as nails for road hockey, light enough for kids to maneuver" on Reddit's r/streetball), with longevity for 1-2 seasons of weekly outdoor use, though the foam may compress under heavy dives compared to reinforced ice models; new retail is $50–$80, making used black MD pairs a practical, no-frills choice for ball hockey leagues, driveway shootouts, or as backup gear, with simple care via wiping down the microfiber and airing out the liner.
