Bauer’s next upgrade to the Vapor protective family at the competitive and recreational levels is in the form of the new 3X protective series. The 3X shoulder pads are designed with reliable foams and inserts seen previously in Bauer gear, as well as a new Flexaprene vest and a Thermomax sub liner to give you amazing protection at whatever level of the game you play at.
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
The 3X shoulder pad uses an integrated molded sternum to give you a closer, more low-profile fit. This style keeps the pads lightweight and more aerodynamic, making it much more efficient when skating. 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.
