For the recreational goalie that skates 1-2 times per week, Bauer has introduced the GSX line. The GSX goalie pants provides the protection needed and performs at a good level for less competitive levels of hockey.
External Material
Similar to previous models, Bauer chose a lightweight and tough nylon material to cover the majority of the pant, providing excellent durability and protection, in addition to mesh material for breathability and stretchy fabric in the back to offer good mobility and flexibility.
Fit
The fit of the GSX pant caters to a wide range of goalies, whether they prefer a tighter or looser fit. Various sections of the pants can be adjusted through belts, laces, and extensions.
Waist Closure & Internal Belt
The Bauer GSX pants feature a removable internal comfort belt to ensure the perfect fit, in addition to an external belt. The GSX pant keeps the traditional look and fit from the previous iteration with the skate lace style waist closure, and stretch spandex opening that allows for lots of maneuverability.
Thigh Protection
To protect the thighs, Bauer implemented these pants with a multi-layered stacked protection design. This construction allows the thigh padding to shield the thighs and provide protection and coverage by absorbing impacts and dispersing force away from the body.
Hip Protection
The hips are protected with dual density foam. This design combined rigid, high-density foam for impact absorption with softer, lower-density foam for comfort and mobility. This is critical for goalie mobility, preventing the padding from hindering movement or shifting out of place during the game. It also features Dynamic 2 flex technology on the front of the hips to provide good protection and flexibility.
Liner
The inside of the pants feature a Thermomax liner, which is designed to manage moisture and keep players dry during intense gameplay. It is constructed with moisture-wicking material that helps to draw sweat away from the body and accelerate evaporation, promoting a more comfortable and odor-free experience.
Sizing & Colors
The Bauer GSX Junior Goalie Pants come in sizes S/M, and L/XL. These pants are also offered in Black, Blue, and Red.

Goalie Pants Sizing
Goalie pants offer substantially more protection than their player counterparts: the hips are reinforced with high-density foam instead of a thin layer of nylon/elastic, the thighs of a goal pant are usually squared off for coverage purposes and made with thick plastic and foam while the waist is also beefed up to protect vital organs. Lastly, the way the two pants move is even different: player pants are designed to move back and forth while goal pants are more effective for lateral movements.
Properly sized goal pants are the difference between having your chest protector ride up or seamless integration for unrestricted movement. After all, they do connect the biggest pieces of gear a goaltender wears—their chest/arm and leg pads.
The first step is to approximate the size using the sizing charts listed on any individual goal pant’s product page on our website. Usually this is accomplished by matching a waist to a given size. Sometimes companies will list an oversized waist; you can match your size by adding 8” – 10” to your measured size to effectively use the chart. Matching up waist sizes exactly isn’t always necessary. It is very common for goalies to wear pants that are wider to increase net coverage, mobility and comfort.
Unlike player pants, the goalie version isn’t necessarily always worn directly on the waist. It is very common for goaltenders to wear their pants high on the waist (oversized) with suspenders, or low and loose (undersized) that the leg pads are the only things holding them in place. After deciding which one feels more comfortable for your playing style, it is important that the pant is sized such that they terminate above the kneecap—leaving ample room for the knee wing of the leg pad to rest on the inside edge of the knee.
Another thing to consider is if the goalie wears his/her chest protector tucked into the pant or outside. If you’re the former, a pant with an internal belt, non-tapered waist and bigger size is going to accommodate the extra bulk from the chest/arm. On the other hand, if you’re wearing the chest protector on the outside, a tapered waist is going to reduce interference and improve feel.
Lastly, it is crucial to ensure that the pant works well with additional knee protection and the leg pads as well. We recommend trying everything on at once to make sure there is limited interference and that there is enough space in the thigh cradle (inside the pant’s leg) for knee protection to reside without overly restricting movement.
