August 10th, 2018 – Brian’s Goalie announces their latest line, the Brian’s GNETIK IV or GNETIK 4.
In an Instagram post earlier today, Brian’s @goaliesonly announced that the line to follow their OPTIK gear from last season will be the GNETIK IV. The IV, or GNETIK 4 line will succeed the OPTIKs, and end the SubZero line of pads.
Can I purchase GNETIK IV gear yet? Nope, but you can still buy OPTIKs. More on this below.
The fact that Brian’s goes back to the GNETIK line after the OPTIK makes sense, as many of the major goalie pad manufacturing companies switch between each line to give the other a chance to sell.
Many pros debut the latest gear during the NHL season, with it becoming available to the public the following spring. Brian’s, on the other hand, offers their gear for purchase during the season (the same season it’s debuted in).
Brian’s also released photos of their new NHL Spec Chest Protector for 2018 / 2019.
What do the new Brian’s GNETIK IV Pads Look Like?
Last week, Brian’s dropped the graphic on the latest line, the GNETIK IV’s. In a move that follows CCMs footsteps (the graphic moves onto the outer pad roll), the GNETIK IV’s have quite a few different color options.
Here’s another photo of their latest gear.
At this point, we do not have a ton of information regarding specs of the latest gear, however we will update this article once we know more.
