Serving players since 1988.Bauer’s new limited edition Supreme GS collection for 2021 is perfect for players who want elite protection and enjoy some military styles and colours in their apparel. The Supreme GS shin guards come equipped with AMP Split Cap Technology, a new ErgoDynamic Lab knee cap, and THERMO MAX lining to give you full range of motion and protection while out on the ice. With its protective capabilities and green/gold tech camo design, the Supreme GS shin guards will have you feeling secure in your gear and ready to compete.
Shin Protection
Bauer implemented an AMP, or Action Motion Protection, Split Cap design in the shin guard to maximize power in the player’s stride. AMP tech moves with you as you move, keeping you protected without sacrificing range of motion. The Supreme line’s main focus is in power and protection, and this upgrade was made with that goal in mind. The two hinge points in the shin guard allow for flex in the stride and compression in the ankle, helping add spring in every stride.
Knee Cap & Protection
One of Bauer’s newest technologies, the ErgoDynamic Lab kneecap gives the shin guards a deeper fit in that area to keep its protective properties closer to the knee. The kneecap is anatomically molded for comfort and a better fit, which also makes it effective in distributing force on impact across a wider surface area, giving your knee the defense it needs. The knee wing padding above the kneecap is made of multi-density foam to protect the part of your thigh that connects to the knee.
Calf Protection
The Supreme GS shin guards have full coverage over the calves for total protection in that area. The calf guards are equipped with MD PE foam inserts and standard foam, which is the same as the knee wings.
Liner
Bauer lined their Supreme GS line of protective gear with their THERMO MAX liner, infused with hydrophobic sweat management and antimicrobial treatment. The entire process works to keep you cool and dry, and your gear will be feeling cleaner and fresher for longer. In addition, the liner in the Supreme GS shin pads is soft, full-comfort, and fully removable. It is also coloured with the limited edition sci-fi camo pattern of the Supreme GS line, keeping you stylish in the dressing room as well.
Strapping
Integrated on the sides and below the kneecap are Anchor straps, which are built to hold tight and lock on. The backs of the straps are lined with comfortable and flexible material, which also have a wide design to cover more surface area, strengthening the grip and enhancing comfort.
Sizes
The Bauer Supreme GS INT shin guards come in 13” and 14”. If you need a smaller size, you can check out the JR sizes, or if you need a bigger size, you can take a look at the SR pads.
Sizes may differ based on where the shin guard sits on the skates (tongue in or out). To calculate your size, measure your ankle to your knee in inches. Your shin guard size will be 3 inches shorter than your calculation (4 inches if you do not tuck your tongue in). This calculation is an approximation and does not take into account personal preference.

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.
