Intro & New Features
When they’re at an early age and just starting in the game, the focus should be on keeping kids playing and enjoying the game. One of the easiest ways to do that is to provide comfortable equipment that looks and feels just like what the adults are wearing. Bauer’s Lil’ Sport gloves are designed to keep your child’s hands warm, comfortable, and protected.
External Material
The exterior is made of tough nylon, exactly like the pros, and it looks the part too. Performance-wise, the tough nylon also ensures the gloves last through your child’s first years on the ice.
Finger Design
The fingers have a standard two-piece design, and the inside is protected with MD foam padding. MD foam offers good coverage against any impact that your child may face on the ice.
Backhand Protection
The backhand is covered with the same protective MD foam you can find in the fingers. In addition to being protective, the foam is also soft and comfortable, which is ideal for small hands and keeping kids in the game.
Thumb Design
The thumb has a one-piece design, complete with a plastic insert and MD foam to keep it light and protected. The one-piece thumb makes it easy for small hands to maneuver and adjust since it allows them to use their whole thumb.
Cuff Design
The cuff is flared a bit to accommodate most wrist movements and shapes.
Palm Material
The palm is made of soft, grey nash synthetic leather for maximum comfort and coverage. Nash is a common option for hockey glove palms due to its cut resistance and smoothness. The inside is also lined partially with nash to add that extra softness on the inside.
Sizes & Colors
The Bauer Lil Sport Gloves come in Black, and sizes 10”, 11”, and 12”.
Bauer Hockey Gloves Sizing Chart
Player Glove Sizing
To ensure you're purchasing the proper sized glove, one simple measurement using a measuring tape is all it takes to accurately find your size. Place the tip of the tape measure at the top of your middle finger (or which finger is longest) and measure all the way down to the bottom of your palm. Record this measurement and multiply by two. This will be roughly the size of glove you need. Compare your height, weight and age to the charts provided on each model as well to find your best fit.
Sizing Hockey Gloves (Growing Players)
If you are including growing room in the glove for a young player, always round the measurement up to the next whole number (ex. 3.2” x 2 = 6.4” -> 7”).
Making Sure Your Hockey Gloves Fit (Growing Players)
To ensure hockey gloves fit properly for a growing hockey player, have them place their hands in the glove with their palms facing up. Have the player place their hand inside the glove as they would if they were wearing the glove in a normal situation. Take your index finger and put it between the top of the player's palm and the edge of the cuff. Typically you want no more room than the width of your index finger.
You also want to have the player press their fingers against the palm so you can see the outlines. Make sure their pinky finger is at least 3/4” of the way into the pinky slot of the glove finger. To determine if the glove is too small, take your fingers and feel along the inner cuff of the glove just after the palm material. Make sure the player’s palm is not spilling over the material and onto the cuff. You also want to look at the fingers of the glove, and make sure the player’s fingers to fit in each finger slot, but they should not be pressed up against the edge or touching the gussets.
Sizing Hockey Gloves (Full-Grown Players)
When sizing for true size (no growth room) using the above measurement, round measurements less than 0.5 down to the next whole number. If the measurement ends in .5 or higher, round up to the nearest whole number.
Making Sure Your Hockey Gloves Fit (Full-Grown Players)
To ensure your hockey gloves fit properly, you want to take a look at two things.
