Vaughn Velocity VX1 Youth Chest & Arm Protector

Intro & New Features

The Vaughn VX1 chest protector is a part of the Velocity line for the 2025 season. Designed with maximum protection and support in mind, it features many key specs to make it a reliable protector for young goalies including molded shoulder and arm protection, segmented shoulder floaters, and a new design that provides greater chest and belly coverage.

External Material

The VX1 chest protector is made up of nylon mesh which is designed for excellent durability and flexibility. The strong nylon weave holds the pads together while adding good ventilation all-around. The design of the chest protector gives greater chest and belly coverage and includes a higher chest pad neck line padding.

Internal Foams

Inside the protector, Vaughn added HD foams to keep young goalies protected from impacts in all areas including the arms, spine, and sides. Cushion air padding was added in the shoulder floaters to create a good buffer when making saves. The sides were given an extension padding to keep the ribs and kidney area safe.

Shoulder Caps

Up to the shoulders, Vaughn added molded shoulder caps when creating this protector. The shoulder caps feature HD foams to provide protection from impacts and keep them secured on the ice. There are also segmented shoulder floaters on the protector to provide an additional level of protection.

Arm Protection

Down to the arms, there is molded foams to keep the forearm and bicep protected. This design allows goalies to be protected from impacts and have coverage that follows them with each movement they make.

Elbow Caps

The elbows are covered with side elbow impact protection. When adjusted correctly, the elbow will sit in the pocket and will have coverage all around it for maximum protection and keeping goalies supported from impacts.
