Serving players since 1988.Intro & New Features
In 2025, Bauer debuted the Vapor FlyLite protective line. The FlyLite line is designed to provide hockey players with maximum flexibility with its flexible construction, it allows for maximum reactivity on the ice, providing players with the ability to feel less restricted.
Shoulder Caps & Protection
The FlyLite shoulder pads feature low profile caps with a DC tech foam insert. This provides players with comfort and protection when taking impacts, while also being comfortable. The Hyperlite foam cover can be seen on the outside of the caps and it provides an additional layer of protection, while also providing durability to the shoulder caps overall.
Sternum Protection
The highest-end Vapor shoulder pads have evolved from the X-LITE shield protector to a floating sternum protector. The floating sternum features CURV composite material which provides the shoulder pads with a durable construction, the player with reliable protection, and an overall lightweight feel and build. The Flexprene vest also wraps around the body to provide an additional level of protection.
Spine Protection
The back of the shoulder pads feature a molded spine protection with PE foam inserts. This design provides players with protection and coverage in the key areas so keep them safe, but also protected and secured from all impacts.
Bicep Protection
To protect the biceps, Bauer added molded CURV composite bicep protection. This keeps the arms in place, restricting movement with an adjustable strap. The padding provides players with protection and keeps them secure from impacts of all forces.
Rib Protection
In addition to the floating sternum protection, the FlyLite shoulder pads have a full coverage vest with extended rib reinforcement. This design is simple to adjust, by just pulling the straps and attaching to the velcro front, the vest wraps around the body, protecting all of the key areas.
Liner
Bauer used the Thermocore Zero liner in the FlyLite shoulder pads. It is designed to provide players with a comfortable feel, while also wicking away moisture to keep the body dry and cool while on the ice.

Hockey Shoulder Pads Sizing Information
Sizing before Purchase
To fit for a properly sized shoulder pad, you will need a soft tape measurer to measure and record your chest measurement. To do this, find the widest point of your chest (usually just below your armpits) and measure the circumference. Record the measurement in inches and compare to the available sizing charts in each brand. Also compare your height, weight and age to find your best fit.
Sizing after Purchase
Once you have received your new shoulder pad, stand in front of a mirror and strap them on. You will want to check the follow criteria to ensure a proper and protective fit.
1. The tips of your shoulder are sitting directly under the middle of the shoulder cap. If you are checking sizing for a child, it is ok for the tips of their shoulder to be under the inner half of the cap.
- This is important because if the shoulder cap does not sit in the correct position, your clavicles, shoulders, and upper arms can become more susceptible to injury.
- Adjust the bicep guards using the Velcro straps located underneath the shoulder caps (if applicable). At the highest point, the bicep guards should not be more than halfway down the upper arm. This is important because they can interfere with your elbow pads, throwing off the fit.
If you are checking sizing for a child, it is ok for the tips of their shoulder to be under the inner half of the cap and not directly in line with the middle.
