New lacrosse goalie gear is arriving daily at LAX.com. Our Pro's are excited about the new technology that has been added, specifically to lacrosse goalie equipment, to provide goalies with the advantage to be able to stop any shot on goal.
NEW LACROSSE GOALIE MESH PRODUCTS
Let’s start with some of the best lacrosse goalie mesh on the market. That is right - mesh. Sometimes we forget that with all the footwork, directing traffic, getting pegged and generally being a hero that the main focus of a goalies job is to:

The other new best seller in this category is the East Coast Dyes 12D semi-hard goalie mesh. This mesh takes about a week to break in, but it is awesome when the bag fills in. Clearing passes on a rope, rebounds getting sucked in. The guys at East Coast Dyes are professionals who completely understand the goalie position. They engineered this mesh to be the new gold standard. We see collegiate and high school level guys snapping up this 12D semi-hard goalie mesh like crazy. Retailing at $43, the East Coast Dyes 12D semi-hard goalie mesh kit, why wouldn’t you play with the best.
NEW LACROSSE GOALIE CHEST PROTECTORS
All of our Pro's agree, the best new lacrosse goalie chest protector on the market is the Warrior Nemesis Pro Chest Pad. This chest protector articulates in the middle, has a beefed up sternum plate and wider collarbone protection. It does not ride up under your helmet and is more form fitting than other models. This pad is the new "King Of The Crease", and priced at $159, it better be good. Basically if you have the cash - get the Nemesis Pro!

For advancing youth lacrosse players, the Warrior Nemisis Pro Chest Pad has a little brother that we like for the JV and below crowd. The Warrior Nemesis Chest Pad is designed with some added shoulder cap protection and the same articulation in the middle that makes for a perfect fit. For $99, you get a serious, nice fitting pad that younger goalies should really consider.
NEW LACROSSE GOALIE GLOVES
The best new lacrosse goalie glove on the market is the Maverix MAX goalie glove. We have made no bones about it, the Maverik guys have designed the best goalie thumbs in lacrosse on their RX3, the M3 and now the MAX. These got released at the Maverik Showtime event this year and the top 12 goalies in the nation go the first pairs. The reviews were amazing. Low profile, good wrist mobility, solid backhand and ultimate knuckle protection. The biggest call out was the shorter cuff and soft feel in the palm. These are the go to for high school and collegiate players this year. Retailing at $159, these are priced under the elite level spectrum and offer tremendous value.

Brine King Superlight 3 Lacrosse Goalie Glove[/caption]
For the younger guys, JV and down, we really like the Brine King Superlight 3 goalie glove. Nice solid thumb, lightweight and good mobility. The Superlight series has been an advanced youth favorite and best seller for 5 years running. Brine dialed it up a notch with heavier materials and more padding than ever. For $109, you are getting a serious upgrade for a younger player in a goalie lacrosse glove.
Here is a recap from our Pro's of the best new lacrosse goalie technology on the market for 2017 -
- STOP THE BALL
- DON’T GIVE UP REBOUNDS
- CLEAR THE BALL AS QUICKLY AND CLEANLY AS POSSIBLE
