Intro & New Features

The next update from Brian’s for 2022 is the new Optik 3 collection. The Optik 3 catcher is equipped with the design and tech to enhance efficiency in catching pucks and closing the glove. The glove includes a single T pocket design, a 40-degree break angle, a Hex-Air floating wrist pad, and Bri-Core.

External Material

The Optik 3 catcher is made with a traditional JenPro external material, which can be found on nearly all Brian’s goalie equipment.

Break Angle

Continuing the trend of the Optik series, the Optik 3 catcher uses a 40-degree break angle. This angle is adjusted from the 35-degree break for a more natural close and game-ready feel.

Pocket Design

The Optik 3 uses a wide single T pocket design for better efficiency in trapping the puck, and the bevelled thumb further helps direct pucks into the pocket. The HD foam in the finger protection adds some extra reinforcement for your fingers when making saves.

Strapping

The catcher uses a smart dial strapping to keep your glove attached to your hand. This system includes two smart dials for a closer and more precise fit, which can be customized for a more consistent feel throughout the game. There is also an elastic thumb strap included for a better snap closure without increasing resistance in the backhand.

Cuff Design

The Optik 3 uses a one-piece cuff design in addition to a segmented backhand for a good balance between protection and flexibility in that area. The Hex-Air Floating wrist pad allows for increased airflow and more comfort around your wrist.
