Unihoc Optima Goalie Vest

Elastic material of the vest makes putting on much easier and increases comfort. It also serves as a compression t-shirt that perfectly copies the goalkeeper's body. It helps keep the body warm to avoid muscle injuries. That can happen in a match where the goalkeeper is idle for a long period of time and suddenly has to perform abrupt movements without warming up.

Players agree that the vest does not move during the match at all and that another big advantage is a solid rubber on the underside of the vest, which does not roll over the pants.

The padding panels of the Optima Golie Vest are made of thick foam. This means the impacts of the ball are compensated by distribution over full length of the impacted area. This way, the goalie does not feel any pain and can control the ball rebounds much easier. Padding panels are stretched to the sides for better torso protection. In the chest area, the protectors extend to the armpits.

Inner arm protectors cover the shoulder-to-elbow area. That means the end of bruises in the area just above the elbows. The elbow protector that is fitted in the vest is very comfortable and excellently protects the elbows from impacts against the floor.
