What is the difference between Pro III RBK goalie pads Premier and Premier RBK 9K III goalie pads? I am a goalie in high school and my parents say I need to buy new pads. I am forsure going to new pads but I'm having a little trouble finding the difference between the RBK Premier III Pro leg pads, goalie and Premier RBK 9K III leggings, other than price.
Well, they are both made in China reguardless of what you've heard. Both are manufactured there. The pads are the premier pro quality and 9k are the pavement above the level they are.
But if I were you I would check Don Simmons. Their blocks are pro level and much less expensive and much better than Reebok. Simmons is also made in Canada by workers from Reebok when they moved their shops in China.
The Pro model is a bit better, as its name suggests, Pro. NHL goalies use. they are a bit more expensive but if you are in fact growing, theyll take some time and are definitely worth it:)
if youre parents DONT care about the price get the mats Premier Pro III because they are made with a heavier material and more padding and be a little easier.
