Bauer has greatly upped their game with the release of the brand new Mach goalie gear, the next chapter in the Supreme protective series. Many upgrades were made to the previous Ultrasonic chest and arm protector to get to the Mach, some of which include the use of Shock-Lite and Shock-Lite Pro, Rebound Control Foam, and a new Active Motion Protection (AMP) hinge arm design. The Mach looks to continue that high coverage and protective trend from the Supreme side with these game-changing enhancements.
External Material
Similar to before, the Mach chest and arm protector uses nylon and mesh for the most part over the exterior for reliable durability. The exterior has additionally been equipped with Shock-Lite belly blocks to keep that area protected from impact and able to absorb the puck better. Along the inside, you will be met with a Thermocore Zero liner coupled with a Hypersense liner on the elbow. The Thermocore liner has been cut strategically around the molded ventilation pockets, a decision made to keep you feeling nice and cool throughout the game.
Internal Foams
Foams along the inside have been molded to enhance ventilation, particularly in the back with the Molded Airflow Spinal design. For elite protection and performance on rebounds, the arms feature a Fused Comp with CURV forearm and bicep composition. Similarly, Bauer implemented Rebound Control Foam in the sternum for increased coverage and impact absorption.
Shoulder Caps
The shoulder floaters on the Mach pads incorporate the upgraded Shock-Lite Pro tech with EPP foam and plastic inserts. Shock-Lite adds comfort and light weight to the area, in addition to elite protection and performance. Its reliability sees its use in many other gear categories as well, hence its use in the Mach gear.
Adjustable Arms
The Supreme Mach features velcro-adjustable arms that can be fixed by two inches in length, which will allow you to customize the arms to your fit. Bauer implemented their all-new AMP 2.0 hinge arm design in the arms of the chest protector. AMP 2.0 incorporates a design that moves while you play without sacrificing mobility, ensuring you’re fully covered throughout the game.
Elbow Caps
The elbow caps are lined with a Hypersense liner for game-ready comfort. This liner is often seen in Bauer’s mobile player glove lines for its comfort and optimal maneuverability. The elbow caps also contain Shock-Lite for elite protection against pucks and impact.
Back Straps
The Supreme Mach chest protector is furnished with a dual collar adjustment for the shoulder floaters, as well as velcro and elastic straps. Bauer also included a belt connection system, so your gear can all work in harmony and comfortably together.

Goalie Chest Protector Sizing
Sizing a chest protector is important to ensure the goaltenders range of motion is uninhibited, while still offering complete coverage from impact. There are steps necessary to finding the right fit in your chest protector, and the first is to know your measurements. Here at The Hockey Shop, we like to use two measurements: torso length and arm span. Once you have these two measurements, match your measurements to our sizing charts.
Sizing your Chest Protector
After receiving your chest protector, you are going to want to check if the size fits the following criteria:
- 1. The arms end just before your wrist. This is important because you want to ensure that the wrist portion of the arms do not interfere with your blocker and catcher—this still provides adequate growing room for the blocker and trapper, which usually last you 1 to 2 years. Depending on the model, adjustable arms may be an offered feature, which is an added bonus for goaltenders that are still growing.
2. Your elbows fit securely in to the pocket of the elbow protection, and do not shift too far away from them. Keep in mind, arms usually have to be adjusted while putting on your chest & arm. Use the adjustable arm features where given to give you an optimal fit.
3. Make sure the shoulders of the chest & arm are sitting comfortably atop, and wrapped around your shoulders. This can be seen visually by looking at the collar of the chest & arm. You want the collar to sit slightly above your clavicle, but not too high that it interferes with the bottom of your goalie mask.
Each brand of chest & arms will have not only a different shape, but also a slightly different fit. We highly recommend having one of our Goalie Specialists to assist you in optimizing the fit of your Chest Protector. If you can't make it into the store, give us a call so we can walk you through it.
