The CCM Extreme Flex 7 Chest Protector is built for elite-level goalies who demand maximum protection and coverage without sacrificing mobility. Its new Max Flex design features redesigned shoulder caps and floaters that provide broader upper coverage while tapering through the torso for a more mobile and anatomical fit. This shape helps goalies present a squared-up stance in the crease while staying agile in high-pressure situations.
For impact absorption, CCM integrated D3O smart foam in key zones like the sternum and collarbone, areas that need the most protection from heavy shots. Pro-level foam construction continues throughout the biceps and forearms, offering elite impact resistance without adding bulk. Internally, the AER-TEC Suspension and Ventilation Systems enhance comfort with breathable, perforated materials that help regulate body temperature, ultimately giving you better performance later in the game.
Fully adjustable, the Extreme Flex 7 includes wing floaters with customizable positioning, arm length adjustments, and a new AdaptFit elbow system for tailored comfort and stability. A removable belly pad rounds out the design, giving goalies the freedom to tuck or untuck the chest protector.
