Why the True Pads are the best for goalies
True originated from the CCM line, created by the Lefevre family. There are 50 percent of goalies in the NHL that wear true skates, and 43 percent wearing pads, gloves, and blockers. That is a very high percentage. Now True has a lot of goalie stuff that is high quality and honestly better than competing brands. Goaliecoaches.com states,” Lefevre (True) have been pumping out high-quality goalie pads for years now and it doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down. What makes these special is the overall performance coupled with durability. The result is a popular pad.”
I have been rocking the True 20.2 set, and it has been my favorite set that I have ever had. I had been wearing CCM’s for the longest time, but I knew that True had been in the same line as CCM, so I bought a pair of Trues. The comfortability mixed in with the durability and movement, makes the equipment so enjoyable to wear. Now I know there is what people think as the best line (Bauer) that is crushing the competition with the light and freeing equipment. Don’t get me wrong, their line is very solid, but there are some differences that I believe make True better. The True pad itself is very responsive as you transition in and out of saves, movement, and your stance. The FRS (Fast Rotation System) is the core of the whole pad. The FRS is in the calf area that makes it easier to rotate and move. True also has supporting cast with the nylon knee strap, knee block, updated boot, and soft boot flex option. What makes Bauer a strong competitor is the fact that their light equipment and the eye catching style, makes the pad more enjoyable to wear.
Now there are some strong goalie equipment brands that are really strong at making the equipment comfortable and easy to wear, but none of them compare to the safety and comfortability of the True line. The FRS system, knee block, updated boot, nylon knee strap and soft boot flex option makes the bad easier to move in, and more enjoyable in the long run to wear. The durability mixed in with comfortability, makes the pads the top of the line in goalie equipment.
