Overview

The Vaughn Ventus LT88 Goalie Chest Protector uses high quality materials and an excellent design to provide advanced level protection. The chest protector is designed to work with the bodies natural movements to optimize flexibility while providing superior protection and net coverage.

The Ventus LT88 features precision molded high density plastic bicep and forearm caps encapsulated in foam padding for increased protection. Sectioned mid arm floaters combined with inner and outer elbow caps improve protection and allow a high level of mobility. The arms also feature molded elbow caps reinforced with a comfort foam and a five point elastic adjustment system. The LT88 chest protector has large shoulder floaters constructed with extra hard high density foam for increased protection and blocking. Ergonomic positioning of the chest blocks allow the chest protector to flex and bend with the natural movements of the body. This design allows goaltenders to use their athleticism to move freely, while still ensuring proper protection. The large reinforced sternum plate helps disperse impacts to the vital chest areas as well as adds additional abdomen protection. Stretchable mesh materials that improve ventilation are used throughout, reducing drying time and allowing the goaltender to stay cooler during the game. Adjustments can be made to the chest pad by simply altering the position of the spine guard, providing the perfect fit for any body type.

The extremely popular Vaughn Ventus series continues its run of excellence with the LT88 chest protector. With a high level of performance and protection at a great price, this is a fantastic option for goaltenders at nearly any level of play.

Customer Reviews

Previous Feedback  

Comments: I had the the LT80 which is the previous model, and loved that chest protector. When this came out I sold the LT80 and upgraded to the LT88. Very similar feel and protection, Vaughn pretty much just increased the protection by using more substantial foam placement. The big upgrade is the better strapping system on the shoulder. It's the one complaint I had with the LT80 and they seem to have addressed that. Overall, really like the chest and I'm sure when the next Ventus c/a comes out I'll get that too.
