The CCM Extreme Flex 500 Goalie Catcher is the first time the Lefevres designed a "Baseball-style" catcher. The closure is designed to feel like a first baseman's glove, using the tip of the index finger and thumb rather than the more traditional full hand closure system.
The CCM 500 goalie glove is constructed from microfiber materials throughout the high wear areas insuring a high level of durability. Durable 400 Denier nylon is used inside as well as backside to reduce the overall weight and allows the goalie glove to dry out faster. CCM's Extreme Flex graphic design elements are stitched on using the same microfiber materials giving the catch glove that high end look and feel. CCM's cuff protection is detached at the wrist, improving mobility and allows the goalie to square up the catcher to the shooter for better net coverage. Internal protection comes from injection molded PE foams and molded plastic inserts, providing excellent shot dampening and protection from stingers. CCM's Suregrip inner palm area improves overall durability and maintains a textured grip for improved control even when wet.
The Extreme Flex catcher provides excellent features and protective component ensuring peak performance. Goaltenders will notice right away, the amount of flexibility and mobility the new CCM Extreme goalie gloves have to offer.
