The Bauer Supreme S27 Senior goalie pant builds upon the well-received Supreme S170, while bringing enhanced protection to best suit the recreational goaltender.
The Bauer S27 Senior goalie pant brings a lightweight, mobile option for the recreational goalie. An anatomical fit in the waist allows for allows for a comfortable, mobile fit. New NHL legal pant dimensions are used on the Supreme S27, which means a more form-fitting, rounded off pant. These updated pant dimensions not only allow for enhanced mobility and flexibility, they also let the recreational goalie wear the same pant shape as their favourite NHL goalies.
On the inside of the Supreme S27 Senior pant, Bauer has added an updated internal belt system with a skate lace tie-up. Having an internal belt gives the goalie the option to have a tight fit around the waist, while not compromising coverage from a tight outer belt.
When developing a lightweight, mobile, and flexible pant, protection remains one of the most important features on a goal pant. To enhance protection on the Supreme S27, Bauer has added MD foam throughout the hip, along with HD foam throughout the thigh. The blend of MD and HD foams allow for a lightweight and flexible pant, while having improving protection over the previous model.

Goalie Pants Sizing
Goalie pants offer substantially more protection than their player counterparts: the hips are reinforced with high-density foam instead of a thin layer of nylon/elastic, the thighs of a goal pant are usually squared off for coverage purposes and made with thick plastic and foam while the waist is also beefed up to protect vital organs. Lastly, the way the two pants move is even different: player pants are designed to move back and forth while goal pants are more effective for lateral movements.
Properly sized goal pants are the difference between having your chest protector ride up and seamless integration for unrestricted movement. After all, they do connect the biggest pieces of gear a goaltender wears—their chest/arm and leg pads.
The first step is to approximate the size using the sizing charts listed on any individual goal pant’s product page on our website. Usually this is accomplished by matching a waist to a given size. Sometimes companies (ex. Vaughn) will list an oversized waist; you can match your size by adding 8” – 10” to your measured size to effectively use the chart. Matching up waist sizes exactly isn’t always necessary. It is very common for goalies to wear pants that are wider to increase net coverage, mobility and comfort.
Unlike player pants, the goalie version isn’t necessarily always worn directly on the waist. It is very common for goaltenders to wear their pants high on the waist (oversized) with suspenders, or so low and loose (undersized) that the leg pads are the only things holding them in place. After deciding which one feels more comfortable for your playing style, it is important that the pant is sized such that they terminate above the kneecap—leaving ample room for the knee wing of the leg pad to rest on the inside edge of the knee.
Another thing to consider is if the goalie wears his/her chest protector tucked into the pant or outside. If you’re the former, a pant with an internal belt, non-tapered waist and bigger size is going to accommodate the extra bulk from the chest/arm. On the other hand, if you’re wearing the chest protector on the outside, a tapered waist is going to reduce interference and improve feel.
Lastly, it is crucial to ensure that the pant works well with additional knee protection and the leg pads as well. We recommend trying everything on at once to make sure there is limited interference and that there is enough space in the thigh cradle (inside the pant’s leg) for knee protection to reside without overly restricting movement.
