The CCM RIBCOR 40K goal skate is designed with growing and/or recreational goalie in mind. The elite synthetic quarter package makes for a softer, more comfortable fit off the shelf. Brushed nylon is used for the liner, to reduce weight and increase comfort on the goalie's foot over an extended period of time. A two-piece felt tongue not only makes the skates more comfortable, but also decreases the chances of lace-bite. The ProLite GS cowling is designed to reduce the necessary attack for making pushes, and is reinforced with extra plastic inserts. Partnered with the cowling is a 4mm Prolite G stainless steel runner to provide superior edge life and long term performance.
