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 made of Aerolite 2.0 and linked to the pads with Connektor to hold them in place. Aerolite is found in protectives across Bauer equipment and other sports; it is known for its light weight and strong ability to absorb and disperse the impact from big hits.
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.

Hockey Shoulder Pads Sizing Information
Sizing before Purchase
To fit for a properly sized shoulder pad, you will need a soft tape measurer to measure and record your chest measurement. To do this, find the widest point of your chest (usually just below your armpits) and measure the circumference. Record the measurement in inches and compare to the available sizing charts in each brand. Also compare your height, weight and age to find your best fit.
Sizing after Purchase
Once you have received your new shoulder pad, stand in front of a mirror and strap them on. You will want to check the follow criteria to ensure a proper and protective fit.
1. The tips of your shoulder are sitting directly under the middle of the shoulder cap. If you are checking sizing for a child, it is ok for the tips of their shoulder to be under the inner half of the cap.
- This is important because if the shoulder cap does not sit in the correct position, your clavicles, shoulders, and upper arms can become more susceptible to injury.
- Adjust the bicep guards using the Velcro straps located underneath the shoulder caps (if applicable). At the highest point, the bicep guards should not be more than halfway down the upper arm. This is important because they can interfere with your elbow pads, throwing off the fit.
If you are checking sizing for a child, it is ok for the tips of their shoulder to be under the inner half of the cap and not directly in line with the middle.
