The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro Senior leg pad builds off the great technologies that were introduced to the goalie world via the Supreme 1S. Keeping the same great performance, the Supreme 2S Pro Sr goal pad further improves performance and durability innovations through NHL and customer feedback.
Possibly the most noticeable feature that anybody first looking at a Supreme 1S or Vapor 1X pad is the unique C.O.R.Tech skin that wraps the entire surface of the pad. C.O.R.Tech, which is an acronym for Coefficient Of Restitution, refers to the ability for an object to return to it's original shape after being impacted, which in goalie language means a longer, harder rebound. Other great properties of Bauer's C.O.R.Tech skin are the lack of weight compared to conventional Jenpro, and the exceptional slide along the ice, which were enjoyed by goalies since it's inception. This year, Bauer uses an upgraded C.O.R.TechST skin that is 3 times more durable than the previous material, while keeping the same great performance.
The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro introduces an updated Powerlite core, which is the blend of Bauers proprietary Curv composite with EPP foam. Bauer's Supreme line has always been synonymous with a stiff, rigid pad, though Powerlite allows the 2S Pro to keep its structure throughout the lifespan of the pad, while keeping weight to a minimum. Not only does having a more structured core increase durability, it also greatly improves the seal to the ice by reducing torsional flex.
Continuing with the theme of stability along the ice, an updated bindingless calf plate has been added to the 2S Pro.effectively gets rid of a large wear point on the pad and increases stability along the ice by having less flex in that area. An updated sewn-in nash knee landing adds grip when dropping down and eliminates the knee block flexing laterally.
Durability has been a relevant topic amongst goalies in the age of new gear innovations; a position that is generally resistant to change. The 2S Pro has taken leaps and bounds in correcting the durability concerns that come with bringing a vastly different product to market. A new Jenpro top-welting encases the top binding of the pad, which reduces wear in high-impact areas. New stitched-on jenpro patches on the inside and outside edges reinforce high-wear areas and eliminate potential splitting of the C.O.R.Tech skin.
Coming from the first renditions of the OD1N project seen on Henrik Lundqvist in late 2013, the Bauer Supreme line has brought what was once seen as merely a concept to a high-performing retail pad enhanced by improved durability in the Supreme 2S Pro. Next-level performance, paired with excellent durability make the Supreme 2S Pro a great option for the elite goaltender.
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.
