The Bauer Supreme Matrix INT Hockey Pants have been specifically designed for Source for Sports and delivers tremendous value in a competitive level pant. The Matrix features a ton of upgrades such as the heavy duty 420D nylon shell, an integrated spine, Thermomax liner, and a 1” extension zipper customization option.
External Materials
The Bauer Matrix pant features a heavy duty 420D nylon shell with additional overlays in high wear areas for better durability. The Matrix also has stretch areas in the crotch which allow the legs to move more naturally without restriction.
Thigh Protection
The thigh guards in the Matrix pants consist of a high-density foam with molded PE (polyethylene) inserts. These are anatomically formed and wrap nicely around the leg to give a low profile feel. This allows the pad to move with the body and prevent the pants from rotating during contact.
Hip Protection
A classic fit one-piece guard in the hips offers great protection in what is usually a high contact area.
Spine Protection
The Bauer Supreme Matrix pants use an integrated spine protection piece with molded high-density foam. This is a protective and reliable material that keeps the lower spine protected from any unwanted contact.
Kidney Protection
The kidney region is protected by a molded one-piece guard with a PE (polyethylene) insert. The padding hugs the body comfortably while still allowing a full range of motion.
Belt/Lace Closure
The belt on the Bauer Matrix pants is covered by a medium-density foam which offers an additional layer of protection between the thigh and kidney pads. The Matrix also has a zippered extension feature which allows the player to add an additional 1” to the overall length. This feature is beneficial to the player who finds themselves in a possible growth spurt mid season, or in between sizes. Finally, the lace closure allows you to adjust the tightness even further to your liking.
Leg Zippers
The Matrix pant does not offer an enclosed zipper opening on the inseam.

Bauer Hockey Player Pants Sizing Chart
Hockey Player Pant Sizing Information
When sizing for player pants, preference will largely determine how loose the waist of the pants fit. Your pants should fit comfortably around you, and most people like the waist to fit snug, but not too tight. A pant should fit so the belt is sitting right above your hips and around your waist.
Pants come equipped with at least one belt or fastening system to help them secure to your waist. You want to make sure that they are comfortable but not too loose so that they shift or fall down as you move or skate.
You may choose to use suspenders to help hold the pant up, however they are not required by any means. Most pants will come with suspender “buttons” to fasten to, but make sure you double check with the model you are interested in to make sure. Suspenders can be helpful when you are fitting growing to allow for growth room as it will allow you additional length, without having to keep a tight waist. Pants are also available in “Long” or “Tall” versions which offer 1” additional length without having to move up a waist size.
Fitting for Growth Room:
To fit a pant for growth room, make sure the pant fits securely around the waist, and the belt of the pant is sitting just above the hip bones. You want the pant to come down as far as possible however if it is fit too big, it will interfere with the shin pads and restrict movement. As a general rule, a pant with growth room should be in line with the bottom of the knee cap when standing straight legged and fastened at the waist. When you bend your knees and move into a ‘hockey stance’ the pant should slide up the knee and end up around the middle of the knee cap. A pant is too small once it does not reach the top of knee cap, standing straight legged.
Fitting for True Size:
To fit a pant true to size, make sure the pant fits securely around the waist, and the belt of the pant is sitting just above the hip bones. You want the pants to be long enough so they protect your thighs but not too long so that they interfere with your shin pads. We recommend a pant to fit between the middle and top of the knee cap, when you are standing straight legged. When you bend your knees and move into a ‘hockey stance’ the pant should slide up to fall in line with the top of your shin pads.
When viewing sizing online, most Pants will be offered in Small, Medium and Large and Extra-Large. Sizing charts are provided and on each product to double check where you line up and as well list all the sizes available. These charts are for reference only and personal preference is a factor as well when looking for the best fit. Protection levels will vary depending on the model you choose. As a general rule, the higher price points will offer more hip, kidney and tailbone protection without too much bulk. You can get a good quality pant at a lower price point but the fit, protection or movement of the pant may be somewhat compromised
Compare your height weight and age and waist size to the charts provided to find your best fit. If you are looking at a “Tall” version of a pant, the waist size on the chart will be accurate, however the length will represent that of the next size bigger.
