Curious to see what type of mods/ improvements have been made to the line.

The glove seems to have a new segmented back hand, and I can’t tell if the palm has been rounded or if they’ve kept the traditional optik squared-off fingertip design. Sounds petty, but I didn’t care for the optik back hand and I considered asking Brian’s if they could use the back hand from the Iconik or Eclipse. If Brian’s added some type of enhanced plush palm liner like Bauer’s duraconnect, that’d be a huge upgrade IMO.

we’ll see if there’s been much change to the pads. I suspect they’ll use a knee block similar to what’s now featured on the iconik. Excited to see this line

The pad changes all look like great revisions: the strapping and boot wear-guards in particular. The blocker looks interesting (with the "reversion" to the Optik 1 looking hand with no cross strap), I'm hoping I'll get to demo these all at some point and feel/see how the pucks pop off of their new board.

I'd be curious to see how the Optik 4s play. Will there still be the FLEX, FLY, and MAX core options from the Optik 3 pads, or has Brian's gone with a different approach? 

They list the three as the current options on their website. 

Decent pictures and brief overview of the pads there.

Anyone able to comment on the advantages/disadvantages of having the knee block strap come up through the knee block instead of attaching on the outside edge?

 

A closer wrap around your knee and leg would be an advantage. A disadvantage would be if you like a looser feeling pad this one doesn’t seem as adjustable as previous Brian’s pads.

I’m like 90% sure I’m gonna order Optik 4’s with the stock graphic in November- also contemplating doing the DX2 graphic.  Been playing around with the customizer:

Neon green is my jam, but the latest one I did there with the cream looks pretty awesome IMO.
