The Brian’s OPTiK 2 catcher is designed to take any sort of abuse the elite level goaltender can throw at it. Hand-made in Canada, Brian’s uses the most durable leather available to them wrapped around a lightweight, strong Engineered-Foam core. A beveled thumb design directs an increased number of pucks into the large single “T” pocket. The OPTiK 2 uses a comfortable 40º break angle matched with a game ready palm helping it effortlessly snap shut right out of the box. A raised HD foam finger ridge on the back of the catcher paired with a sturdy leather construction helps protect your fingers from slashes when covering the puck. Brian’s uses an SBA palm and cuff combined with their Hex-Air technology and Air-Knit finger stalls to improve comfort and airflow while the use of the BOA dial system allows for fine adjustments helping keep your hands locked into the glove throughout the game. As with all pro level Brian’s gear, the OPTiK 2 catcher is available in custom colours, graphics as well as many other custom options.
External Material
The Brian’s name is synonymous for quality and the OPTiK 2 is no exception to that. Brian’s hand builds each glove using a durable leather to hold up to pro caliber abuse. They use an Engineered-Foam that keeps the catcher light yet durable, holding up to the highest quality shots for years to come. New for the OPTiK 2 line, Brian’s uses Polymesh accents to reduce weight while giving the glove a sleek, rich look. A plush Hex-Air moulded SBA cuff allows for improved airflow and comfort while an SBA palm gets grippier as the game goes on matched with the BOA System dials on the back hand and wrist allowing for easy adjustment keeping your hand comfortable and locked into the glove at all times.
Break Angle
The OPTiK 2 catcher uses a 40º break that has been tweaked from the last generation OPTiK catcher to give the OPTiK 2 a much more natural feeling full-hand closure that lets the game ready palm snap closed right out of the box.
