For the 2019 season, Vaughn is releasing a new line they’re calling the Vaughn SLR 2. The SLR 2 line comes after the Vaughn VE8 release, last season. The VE8 line from Vaughn drew quite a bit of press, so it’ll be interesting to see if the SLR 2 does the same.
Vaughn has traditionally been behind the curve when it comes to new, innovative directions with their goalie gear. With the new SLR 2 line, they’re making major advancements in their sliding technology, rotation systems, as well as the strapping they use in their gear.
It’s said that the strapping in the new SLR 2 goalie gear will model that of Matt Murray, a Vaughn goalie for the Pittsburg Penguins.
