For the recreational goalie that skates 1-2 times per week, Bauer has introduced the GSX line. The GSX line provides the protection needed and performs and a good level for less competitive levels of hockey.
External Material
The exterior of the pads are constructed with traditional cut-sew leather, offering benefits centered on durability, repairability, and specific aesthetic or performance preferences. While modern pads have largely shifted to lighter, faster synthetic materials., traditional leather construction remains valued for its long-term durability.
Internal Construction
The dual-density foam inserts in the internal construction of modern goalie leg pads are a specialized layering technique used to balance rebound control, protection, and weight reduction. By combining high-density foam, with lower density materials, these pads are designed to optimize performance, allowing for both powerful rebounds and softer, controlled rebounds.
Pad Break
The GSX leg pads are constructed with a soft pad break. Soft-flex goalie pad breaks offer enhanced mobility, improved 5-hole closure, and better control over rebounds. These pads are designed for goalies who value flexibility and speed over a strictly rigid blocking surface.
Boot Angle & Toe Taper
The reactive flat Vapor boot allows goalies to experience a soft boot angle that provides an excellent range of mobility, not restricting any movements. Additionally, the leg pads are equipped with a Supreme bridge and elastic toe system.
Knee Block
The Stabiliflex knee block with an extended landing zone is a feature that is designed to provide stability and support for the goalie's knee. The foam is engineered to provide good stiffness and support the knee joint. This can help reduce the risk of injury while improving the goalie’s overall comfort and confidence on the ice.
Strapping System
This leg pad is designed with a Tune Fit 2.0 strapping system. This strapping system is designed for a locked-in, secure feel without restricting movement. It offers high adjustability compared to traditional strapping, using a central calf strap that can be tuned for tension and position.
Sizing & Colors
The Bauer GSX Junior Goalie Leg Pads come in sizes Extra-Small, Small, Medium, and Large. These pads also come in Black, White, White/Blue, and White/Red.

Goalie Leg Pads Sizing
Deciding your Goalie Pads size is crucial for having total control while moving in the crease. Sizing your pads properly is the difference between getting that perfect seal on your butterfly, and feeling clunky or unprotected in the net. Below we have compiled some information to better assist you in deciding which size is right for you.
Floor-To-Knee Measurement
Your Floor-To-Knee measurement will give you a good indication as to what "Pad Size" you will need. This measurement can be matched up with the provided sizing chart above.
How to Measure your Floor-To-Knee
- 1. In your bare feet, place the soft measuring tape at the inside of the bottom of your foot.
2. Slightly bend your knee.
3. Run the soft measuring tape up your shin, to the middle of your knee.
4. Match your Floor-To-Knee measurement with the provided sizing chart
What to look for when trying on your new pads.
Once you have your new leg pads, you’ll need to make sure they fit you properly. To do so, you’ll need to put the pads on with your skates. There a couple things to do to check size, once you have the pads on:
1. Stand straight and bring your feet together. This will show you the overall height of the pad, while on. Your pads should not be taller than your hips. Ideally you want the top of your pad at the half-way point of your thighs. A pad fitted for a young growing goaltender can be a little taller, so a little above the half-way point is normal.
2. Next you want to get in your stance, keep your hands in a ready position, and drop to your butterfly. Without moving your legs to correct your butterfly, bring your heels together. This is where you assess your knee position. For a proper fit, you want the middle of your knee to sit directly on the center of the knee stack. If you’re looking for growing room, you want the middle of your knee to land roughly 1.5” below the center of the knee stack (1” for JR).
Not getting a complete seal while in your butterfly?
If you're having trouble getting a full seal in your new pads, it may be the way you’re strapping them up. Make sure your boot strap and top straps (above knee) are loosened up a bit. The reason you want these straps loose is because they have a direct effect on the rotation of the pad. Having a loose boot strap makes it easy for your foot and ankle to rotate as the pad moves. Same goes for the top straps, as you don't want them pulling down too hard on the thigh rise.
