Brian’s G-NETik X5 Junior Goalie Blocker

New for 2022 is the smaller sibling of the G-NETik V: the G-NETik X5. Brian’s really demonstrated their design capabilities in the mid-level X5 with a balanced feel, ultra-flared cuff, and bevelled nose design. The X5 looks to upgrade your game, no matter the level you play at.

External Material
The X5 blocker uses a squared board profile and Jenpro synthetic leather along the exterior. Jenpro is a premium material and classic choice for goalie gear due to its overall toughness and water resistance.

Internal Construction
As mentioned, the blocker has a squared board profile for solid rebound control and amazing balance. The bevelled nose design is ideal for paddle down saves, and it also simplifies picking up the stick and catching it, as the nose of the blocker is much less in the way.

Palm Material
The palm is made of classic Nash material with a tough Suede reinforcement along the centre where you would hold the stick. The reinforcement is grippy, making handling the stick just that much easier.

Side Hand Protection
The blocker uses a laced-in, HD foam sidewall for solid protection coupled with an elite look. The overall framework helps eliminate gaps while keeping an adequate stiffness for stopping the puck. The sidewall is also equipped with an adjustable velcro anchor strap for enhanced sidewall stability.

Cuff
Brian’s implemented their ultra-flared cuff design for increased range of motion and mobility while ensuring the blocker doesn’t get in the way of the chest and arm protector. The cuff area is also equipped with a traditional velcro wrist strapping system to enhance the feel and simplify the process.

Hand Protection
The fingers are protected by two large HD forefinger protectors that wrap around the fingers and are attached with elastic strapping. The hinged HD molded thumb protection is also fixated to the fingers with elastic strapping and provides additional cushioning in that area. Do note that this blocker does not have extra index finger protection on top of the standard protectors.

Colors & Customization
The Brian’s G-NETik X5 Junior Goalie Blocker comes in Regular and Full Right configurations, and the following colourways: White, White/Black, White/Black/Red, White/Blue, and White/Red.
