The Bauer Supreme S29 Intermediate leg pad may look similar in structure to last year's popular Supreme S190 Intermediate, though it has been greatly revamped to bring true pro-level features to a mid-range price-point. The use of updated internal and external materials make the Supreme S29 Int an excellent option for the growing goalie looking to benefit from Bauer's latest innovations.
The premier feature that the Bauer S29 Int Pad brings down from the 2S Pro is the C.O.R.Tech material on the sliding surface. The Supreme S29 Int goalie leg pads feature this on the knee and the calf and this material increases slide speed immensely, as seen on both the 1X and the 1S from years past.
The Bauer S29 intermediate goalie pads have a softened version of the core from the Bauer Totalone NXG pads from a few years past. This core is a very structurally sound piece that will provide durability and performance that you would expect from a pro pad down at a mid-range price. The core has been softened slightly to make sure the pad still moves and bends the way that a goalie needs it to move. This core also helps the S29 intermediate goalie pads weigh a full 10% less than the S190 that they are replacing.
Goalie Leg Pads Sizing
Deciding your Goalie Pads size is crucial for having total control while moving in the crease. Sizing your pads properly is the difference between getting that perfect seal on your butterfly, and feeling clunky or unprotected in the net. Below we have compiled some information to better assist you in deciding which size is right for you.
Floor-To-Knee Measurement
Your Floor-To-Knee measurement will give you a good indication as to what "Pad Size" you will need. This measurement can be matched up with the provided sizing chart above.
How to Measure your Floor-To-Knee
- 1. In your bare feet, place the soft measuring tape at the inside of the bottom of your foot.
2. Slightly bend your knee.
3. Run the soft measuring tape up your shin, to the middle of your knee.
4. Match your Floor-To-Knee measurement with the provided sizing chart
What to look for when trying on your new pads.
Once you have your new leg pads, you’ll need to make sure they fit you properly. To do so, you’ll need to put the pads on with your skates. There a couple things to do to check size, once you have the pads on:
1. Stand straight and bring your feet together. This will show you the overall height of the pad, while on. Your pads should not be taller than your hips. Ideally you want the top of your pad at the half-way point of your thighs. A pad fitted for a young growing goaltender can be a little taller, so a little above the half-way point is normal.
2. Next you want to get in your stance, keep your hands in a ready position, and drop to your butterfly. Without moving your legs to correct your butterfly, bring your heels together. This is where you assess your knee position. For a proper fit, you want the middle of your knee to sit directly on the center of the knee stack. If you’re looking for growing room, you want the middle of your knee to land roughly 1.5” below the center of the knee stack (1” for JR).
Not getting a complete seal while in your butterfly?
If you're having trouble getting a full seal in your new pads, it may be the way you’re strapping them up. Make sure your boot strap and top straps (above knee) are loosened up a bit. The reason you want these straps loose is because they have a direct effect on the rotation of the pad. Having a loose boot strap makes it easy for your foot and ankle to rotate as the pad moves. Same goes for the top straps, as you don't want them pulling down too hard on the thigh rise.
