The Bauer Vapor X2.7 Junior Goalie Pads come with great features and raise the bar for recreational pads. A free flex 100-degree boot, Monster H.A.L toe straps and a softer profile are all features being brought to the X2.7 leg pads. External MaterialBauer uses upgraded synthetic material as the skin on this pad. The skin promotes hard rebounds and improved sliding as benefits by sending rebounds further resulting in more time to recover as well as quicker, more stable sliding. Internal ConstructionBauer uses their new Dynamic Flex which allows the pad to be softer and more flexible than the previous 1X pad. This allows the pad to be more reactive and feel more natural than the previous model, adding more separation between the Vapour and Supreme lines. Pad BreakThe Bauer X2.7 goal pads have a soft flex profile, with pad breaks above and below the knee. The pad breaks encourage the pad to sync with your leg and move seamlessly with each movement. Boot AngleThe Vapor X2.7 leg pads have a 100-degree free flex boot, this helps the pad be more reactive and play in sync with your body without restriction. Knee CradleBauer has equipped the Vapor X2.7 pads with a 45-degree Knee block. The knee block is designed to raise you off the ice and provide a solid base from when in the butterfly. StrappingThe strapping system stays familiar with the classic Vapor Tune Fit strapping, allowing a quick and easy set up with only 3 velcro straps. The strapping consists of an outer velcro strap to keep everything together, a strap that wraps around the knee or upper calf and lastly the Tune Fit strap that allows the ability to choose wear it is done up on the calf, once again giving a more custom fit. Toe TaperThe toe on the new Vapor X2.7 pads has a slight taper to it, allowing goalies a better attack angle. To ensure a strong seal along the ice, Bauer uses uses a combination of torsional flex as well as their new Monster Toe Ties. The new toe ties are a bungee lace similar to the previous bungee lace they used, though this one has velcro on each end to simply wrap through the bottom of the skate and then attach the velcro on to of your skate, similar to where you would tie your lace.

In senior sizing, a small would be equivalent to 33 1, medium 34 1, and so on. The new Vapor X2.7 pads will come in white, blue, navy and red colour combos. Read More Details
