Innovative, comfortable, and highly protective is what Bauer had in mind when designing the Supreme Fuse line of shin guards. These shin guards are designed to offer unparalleled protection against impacts in all directions while still allowing for lots of maneuverability. They feature a deeper knee and shin fit, a lower profile calf guard, and a Thermocore Zero liner.
Shin Protection
The shins are protected with a X-Flex shield shin cap design, which offers the players with enhanced mobility and an improved skating stride. The X-Flex shield shin cap features an AMP hinged flex design that allows for a more natural and unrestricted range of motion while skating, ensuring that players can move with greater ease and efficiency on the ice.
Additionally, these shin guards feature a flexible construction to protect a portion of the thighs. The thigh protection is reinforced with HD foams that provide protection from impacts, while also being flexible so that players have freedom of movement, and won’t feel restricted while wearing these shin guards.
Knee Cap Protection
Bauer protected the knee on these shin guards with a ErgoDynamic knee cap that provides a deeper, more natural fit. This advanced kneecap design ensures a secure and comfortable feel while providing optimal protection. Additionally, the same shield technology used in the shin area extends to the knee, ensuring consistent levels of impact resistance.
Calf Protection
While wearing the Supreme Fuse Shin Guards, players' calves will be covered with a full coverage CURV Composite calf guard. Bauer uses CURV Composite material for a lightweight yet reliable defense. The integration of CURV Composite provides exceptional impact resistance while minimizing added weight on the player’s legs.
Liner
The inside liner is completely removable and features a molded air channel and skate zone, providing enhanced airflow and ventilation to keep the player cool during intense gameplay. The shin guards also use Bauer’s Thermocore Zero liner, specifically designed to manage sweat and odours, ensuring a fresh feel throughout the entire game. It is not only designed to wick away moisture, but it also regulates temperature within the pads, keeping you nice and cool.
Strapping System
The shin guards are held together with a comfort lockstrap that is combined with a V-Shape calf strap. The strapping is designed to wrap around the leg and attach with a velcro landing. When adjusted correctly, these straps are designed to lock the pad in place, allowing the padding to move with the player as they skate on the ice.

Player Shin Guard Sizing Information
When sizing a shin pad, you must determine first if you will wear the shin pad over top of the skate tongue, or if the skate tongue will sit in front of shin pad and “flop” forward. This will determined the length of the shin pad you will want.
Your knee should fit directly into the center of the kneecap, which is usually lined and padded to help direct it and provide comfort. Once the pad is strapped to your leg, it should be secure and snug and should NOT be able to twist rotate or slide freely. There are many strapping systems offered and you must decide what you like and dislike. On some models you will find anchor straps or thicker straps which can offer a better more secure fit. Anchor straps are made up of a stretchy knit material and usually fasten above or below the calf muscle. These straps are designed to anchor the pad in place and not allow it slide up or down. Thicker straps across the calf wrap/guard are also often used, these straps help provide full protection to your leg ensuring that the calf guard reaches across your leg.
Keep in mind that as you go up in price you will usually see more adjustments, options and higher density foams and technologies used. You must determine within your budget, which shin pad offers the most features that you want, as well as provides the most comfort.
Sizing a Shin Pad over top of your Skate Tongue:
To size a shin pad correctly when fitting over top of your skate tongue, measure the length (in inches) of your leg from the middle of your knee cap, when it is bent at a 90 degree angle, to the top of the boot of the skate. Once you have this measurement, round the number up to the next whole number (i.e. 13.2” becomes 14”). Because the shin pad is sitting over top of the skate tongue, it enables your to wear a slightly bigger pad without compromising mobility. This is usually seen as an upside because you get extra protection in areas like the tongue of your skate.
If you are sizing a player and want to include growth room, we do recommend this method as well, because it allows for a bigger pad to be worn, again without compromising motion or mobility.
Sizing a Shin Pad underneath your Skate Tongue:
To size a shin pad correctly when fitting over top of your skate tongue, measure the length (in inches) of your leg from the middle of your knee cap, when it is bent at a 90 degree angle, to the top of the boot of the skate. Once you have this measurement, round the number down to the next whole number (i.e. 13.7” becomes 13”). Because the shin pad is shipping underneath the skate tongue, the pad will not be able to sit right against the edge of the skate and thus a slightly shorter shin pad is used. If a shin pad that is too big is tried on, you will notice that the shin pad is shifted up and the kneecap falls out of the designated spot. If this happens your shin and knee will not be properly protected and you are more susceptible to having your shin pad rotate or more as well.
Compare your height, weight and age to the charts provided to find your best fit. As well, use the measurement that was taken above to compare to the provided charts. Another good estimation is to look at your old/existing shin pads to see what size they are. If you are growing and have outgrown them, then next size up is probably for you. If you liked the way your shin pads felt, it may be smart to continue with the same size.
