2019 Brian’s Line - GNetik IV

[TheGoalNet 1,172]

There has been a ton of questions about the new strapping appearing on Brian’s pro goalies this summer. . . In green; I’m comfortable confirming this is the strapping on their 2019 pad. The full line will release this fall and is NOT an Optik replacement

@TheGoalNet So Brian's is going back to offering three lines of pads?

Mystery Line / Optik / Heritage

Am I correct?

I want them to call the new gear "Mystery Line" just because of this post

The calf strap looks like an enlarged version of the Bauer Vapor Tune-Fit strap. But what is the difference between this line and the OPTIK’s? It honestly doesn’t look like much. The OPTIK has two cores- FLY and FLX. So what would be the point of making a total different line?

I believe so, I don’t know the future of the heritage line. 

@Brians_Joz is heritage line getting revamped / updated at all?

Good find by @raucebyalien

Pretty sure the blocker and glove will be different 

We know the strapping will be different 

The pad cores could also be different...

 Like the type of rebounds they give off or maybe these will be more customizable cores like the old “4-3-1” way of ordering Brian’s? 

More details will come soon

@raucebyalien killing it 

strapping 

[Goalieinneed 18]

So today Trav4Oilers just confirmed that the new strapping we have been seeing is in fact a new model from brians!!! 

[Goalieinneed 18]

I think there will be two styles of pads. Like what brians did with the FLX and FLY models. Why? As we see georgiev is now testing this model of pads. He was previously usibg ccm eflex plads. Which are a softer more flexible pad. We can also see that trav4oilers is getting a set and he likes a stiffer pad.        So in conclusion there will most likely be 2 models like the FLX and FLY.

maybe georgievs new set is genetik 4s?

I’d expect the classic Brian’s approach here... pick your flex per break

so it will stay firm at 1700 bucks? damn. i wanted them to go down in price. line looked sick, and i like a softer more traditional pad, but dont want to drop 1700 on leg pads. 

i would get the alite but they have the smart strapping and not the leathers

Don’t know the answer to that. Check with a retailer

Beat me to it!

No surprise given that  Hellberg's pads look very much like an updated G-netik base, but given the Optik launch I thought Brians might take the opportunity to re-brand the 'hybrid' line.

To me, it’s filling a void that the VE8 never could...

Not surprised, it was time for a refresh of that line anyway.
