Intro & New Features
For the 2025 season, Bauer has released the FlyPro hockey shin guards as part of the new Vapor protective line. The shin guards are equipped with a full volume knee cap, HyperLite foam with PE inserts and key upgrades like a reinforced X-LITE shield cap. The FlyPro shin guards look to offer reliable and solid protection at a high level.
Shin Protection
The FlyPro shin guards continue to use the X-LITE shield cap that can be found on the majority of the Vapor shin guards. This cap design contours around the leg for a closer fit, giving you better protection, a comfier feel, and a deeper fit. This innovative design doesn’t restrict movements and allows players to move freely.
Knee Cap & Protection
The full volume knee cap offers an anatomical fit around your knee, so you can be comfortable and protected. The angled design helps keep you aerodynamic while skating, and the deeper fit keeps that feeling as natural and seamless as possible.
Calf Protection
The calf protection on the FlyPro shin guards is made of full coverage HyperLite foam calf guards. After adjusting the velcro straps, the calf guards sit around the back of the leg keeping them covered and secured from all impacts. The molded PE inserts also provide an additional level of protection to players to keep their legs covered and secured.
Liner
The liner is completely removable and features a molded air channel and skate zone, providing enhanced airflow and ventilation to keep the player cool during the game. The shin guards also feature Bauer’s Thermomax+ liner, which is specifically designed to manage sweat and odours, ensuring a fresh feel throughout the entire game. It is not only designed to wick away moisture, but it also regulates temperature within the pads, keeping you nice and cool.
Strapping
The shin guards use a comfort lock strap and a wide calf strap to keep the protection stable. When properly adjusted, the shin pad wraps around the leg providing a snug yet secure fit. It will protect players from impacts like pucks and sticks, and will keep the entire leg protected with its durable construction.

Bauer Hockey Shin Guards Sizing Chart
Player Shin Guard Sizing Information
When sizing a shin pad, you must determine first if you will wear the shin pad over top of the skate tongue, or if the skate tongue will sit in front of shin pad and “flop” forward. This will determined the length of the shin pad you will want.
Your knee should fit directly into the center of the kneecap, which is usually lined and padded to help direct it and provide comfort. Once the pad is strapped to your leg, it should be secure and snug and should NOT be able to twist rotate or slide freely. There are many strapping systems offered and you must decide what you like and dislike. On some models you will find anchor straps or thicker straps which can offer a better more secure fit. Anchor straps are made up of a stretchy knit material and usually fasten above or below the calf muscle. These straps are designed to anchor the pad in place and not allow it slide up or down. Thicker straps across the calf wrap/guard are also often used, these straps help provide full protection to your leg ensuring that the calf guard reaches across your leg.
Keep in mind that as you go up in price you will usually see more adjustments, options and higher density foams and technologies used. You must determine within your budget, which shin pad offers the most features that you want, as well as provides the most comfort.
Sizing a Shin Pad over top of your Skate Tongue:
To size a shin pad correctly when fitting over top of your skate tongue, measure the length (in inches) of your leg from the middle of your knee cap, when it is bent at a 90 degree angle, to the top of the boot of the skate. Once you have this measurement, round the number up to the next whole number (i.e. 13.2” becomes 14”). Because the shin pad is sitting over top of the skate tongue, it enables your to wear a slightly bigger pad without compromising mobility. This is usually seen as an upside because you get extra protection in areas like the tongue of your skate.
If you are sizing a player and want to include growth room, we do recommend this method as well, because it allows for a bigger pad to be worn, again without compromising motion or mobility.
Sizing a Shin Pad underneath your Skate Tongue:
To size a shin pad correctly when fitting over top of your skate tongue, measure the length (in inches) of your leg from the middle of your knee cap, when it is bent at a 90 degree angle, to the top of the boot of the skate. Once you have this measurement, round the number down to the next whole number (i.e. 13.7” becomes 13”). Because the shin pad is shipping underneath the skate tongue, the pad will not be able to sit right against the edge of the skate and thus a slightly shorter shin pad is used. If a shin pad that is too big is tried on, you will notice that the shin pad is shifted up and the kneecap falls out of the designated spot. If this happens your shin and knee will not be properly protected and you are more susceptible to having your shin pad rotate or more as well.
Compare your height, weight and age to the charts provided to find your best fit. As well, use the measurement that was taken above to compare to the provided charts. Another good estimation is to look at your old/existing shin pads to see what size they are. If you are growing and have outgrown them, then next size up is probably for you. If you liked the way your shin pads felt, it may be smart to continue with the same size.
