Bauer’s next upgrade to the Vapor protective family is in the form of the new 3X Pro protective series. The 3X Pro shoulder pads are designed with some Hyperlite tech in the sternum, in addition to a Flexaprene vest and a Thermomax liner to give you amazing protection at the competitive level.
Shoulder Caps & Protection
The shoulder caps are low profile and molded to lower wind resistance and make it easier to keep your speed and glide on the ice.
Sternum Protection
At the second-highest price point, the 3X Pro shoulder pads have evolved to using a floating Hyperlite HD sternum with an HD foam insert. Over the front panel as well is a soft and comfortable Flexaprene vest, which uses Flexcell foam on the base. Flexcell offers a great balance between adaptability and comfort.
Spine Protection
The spine area is covered by a floating molded spine, which offers a close, protective fit without restricting freedom of movement.
Bicep Protection
The Vapor line is all about speed and maneuverability. The 3X Pro shoulder pads’ bicep has a one-piece sleeve-fit closure construction, meaning that it wraps around your bicep and stretches comfortably based on your needs while allowing for optimal movement. It is made with molded PE, which provides reliable protection against impact force.
Liner
The liner for the 3X Pro is Bauer’s Thermomax liner. Thermomax is amazing at repelling sweat and odour, keeping your pads fresher for longer. The liner will also keep you cool and comfortable while you are in your equipment.
Abdominal Protection Piece
The Vapor 3X Pro shoulder pads are equipped with a removable abdominal protection piece for added protection in that sensitive area.
Sizes
The Bauer Vapor 3X Pro Junior Hockey Shoulder Pads are available in Small and Medium sizes. If you are looking for a larger size, the 3X Pro gear is also available in Senior sizing.
