Bauer Vapor 3X Intermediate Goalie Blocker

Palm Material
The palm of the 3X is Bauer’s 14.5” Connekt palm. The 14.5” sizing is a slightly shrunk down size reducing excess material to create a more snug fit. Connekt is a similar material to that found in the Hyperlite blocker; it’s a soft, durable material that gives the Hyperlite blocker a comfortable feel on the hand while enhancing the stick feel through the palm.

Side Hand Protection
Similar to the Hyperlite blocker, the 3X uses a thin composite material sewn and laced into the face of the blocker. The composite reinforcement is meant to be stiff while also being ergonomically shaped in order to fit closely to the body without interfering with the chest guard.

Cuff
The cuff of the 3X is made up of asymmetrical Aerolite foam. Aerolite is a protective foam that is incredibly lightweight. Bauer has designed this cuff asymmetrically, to promote full wrist mobility when making saves and playing the puck.

Hand Protection
The back of the fingertips have foam added to them to give a bit of extra protection. Each finger with the exception of the index is individually velcro adjustable while the thumb protector uses a molded guard to absorb the impact of sidewall shots. A velcro removable pad is located by the index finger that helps to stop pucks from riding up the stick injuring the goalie’s hand.
