Bauer Hockey Goalie Full Sets Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different types of Bauer goalie pads?
Vapor goalie pads
Bauer’s Vapor 1X goalie pads have a lightweight tapered flex core with Curv Composite inserts. Their Tune Fit strapping system provides a comfortable fit while optimizing balance. Vapor pads feature a double break -- one above and one below the knee -- and a soft boot, which cater well to goalies who rely more on their creativity and reflexes than their technical ability.
Supreme goalie pads
Supreme 2S Pro pads have what’s called C.O.R.T.E.C.H ST skin, a technology exclusive to Bauer, to provide a tight seal while maintaining the pads’ shape. Unlike Vapor pads, Supreme pads feature a single break below the knee, and a stiff boot to cater to technical goalies.
The Supreme S27 has a custom rotation system for faster butterflying with less wear on hips and knees. With a flat front and stiffer profile, these pads are great for recreational and beginner players.
