Bauer X Intermediate Shoulder Pad

Choosing the right protective equipment is an important step when starting a physically demanding sport like ice hockey. The Bauer X shoulder pad has been designed to cater the needs of beginner ice hockey players, providing both comfort and protection.

Maximum upper body protection is ensured by the full coverage shoulder caps, shielding players from impacts and falls while allowing good mobility on the ice. The low-profile design of the caps reduces discomfort by conforming to the player's body. Injection-molded plastic for the sternum also offers effective impact protection. The lightweight material allows players to forget about the protection, enabling them to focus entirely on their performance. Molded plastic is also chosen for its durability and resistance to wear and tear, providing a precise fit. Comfort FlexCell foam is used for the front and back panels for optimal comfort during play. The spine is made with MD foam with a PE insert, reducing the risk of injury from impacts. The PE insert adds extra protection without compromising comfort or player performance. The lightweight nature of the various foams used in these shoulder pads allows beginner players to move freely on the ice without worrying about their safety or feeling weighed down by the equipment.

Low-profile arches contribute to improved player mobility, essential for those learning ice hockey's technical movements. They also enhance player protection, particularly important for those likely to fall or injure themself, while reducing pressure points for added comfort. The adjustable bicep strap allows players to customize the fit, avoiding any discomfort. Each player can adjust the velcro strap according to their needs. The hydrophobic sublimated mesh liner protects players from unpleasant odors and discomfort by wicking away sweat during play. The liner also helps prevent friction or irritation that can distract players, especially when the equipment becomes damp.
