The Bauer Vapor 1X trapper features a one-piece cuff to maximize the coverage and stability of the trapper's blocking surface. The 1X trapper has a 60-degree closure, bringing the index finger to the tip of the thumb. This closure is very familiar and popular amongst most goalies.

Easier to close doesn't mean less protective, thankfully. The palm of the new Vapor 1X trapper has Bauer's Curv composite, which is a stiff composite that they use to form the boots of their latest skates. This palm is further reinforced with XRD Foam.
No matter how strenuous the game, the palm of the trapper stays quite dry and cool, thanks to Bauer's Transfer Mesh liner with 37.5 technology. This liner increases the movement of moisture out of the glove, keeping it relatively dry.

The trapper comes stock with a hybrid-T. The anchoring point of the hybrid-T is like a double-T, but comes together to form a single-T. This design makes it easier to close the glove and increases puck retention.

The Vapor 1X trapper features digitally printed graphics, that will make goalies feel lighter and quicker when it matters.

Goalie Catcher Sizing

More times than not, the fit of your Goalie Catcher is often overlooked. This is likely the result of the limited size availability compared to other pieces of equipment, however a properly sized Catcher provides you the protection and stick control you trust.

Which Catcher Size is for you?
The first step to finding the correct Catcher size is to utilize the “heel-of-palm-to-tip-of-middle-finger” measurement. This measurement will generally send you to the appropriate size you need.

Analyzing the Catcher Fit
It is important to make sure the palm lines up properly within the catching glove, so that it can be closed without excessive force. New goalie gloves will be difficult to close initially, but through either a standard break-in process, or "baking" the catcher with our in-house convection skate ovens, they will soften over time.
*We do not recommend using any conventional in-home ovens, as the results have been very unpredictable in the past and could damage your Catcher.*

Next you want to ensure the adjustable wrist strap goes directly across the wrist bone, and has minimal to no interference with your chest protector. The goaltender should be able to swivel their wrist to accommodate a range of save selections without any restrictions from the chest protector.

Sizing for Growing Goaltenders
For growing goaltenders we recommend following the guidelines set above, rather than sizing up to accommodate growth. Oversized goalie gloves restrict control, especially for young developing goalies. As you climb the size ladder for Catchers, typically the glove requires more strength for pocket closure.

Which Hand Do I Need?
Figuring out which hand you need for your Catcher can be slightly confusing. Goalies generally refer to themselves as "REGULAR" or "FULL RIGHT". Below is the easiest way to simplify which hand you need.

    Goalie Catcher Hands Simplified
  • Regular - Catcher worn on your Left Hand
  • Full Right - Catcher worn on your Right Hand
