Bauer’s next addition to the Vapor protective line comes in the form of the Hyperlite hockey pants. The pants come in with amazing protective capabilities at a remarkable 1200g weight, thanks to the Aerolite hip guard, Shocklite spine, and tapered fit profile. Keeping you fresh is the new Thermocore Zero liner, to complete the construction.
External Materials
The external shell is made of pro-level 840D nylon, which is the same material and grade that you would find on the Ultrasonic. This grade of nylon is highly abrasion-resistant and one of the toughest fabric-weave combinations available. It is also very light for its efficiency and durability.
Thigh Protection
The pants use molded PE and HD foam strategically placed for a close and covered fit. The fit on the Hyperlite is tapered, meaning it is designed to fit close and with a lower profile. The inserts are also removable for easier embroidery or embellishment as desired.
Hip Protection
The hip area is equipped with an Aerolite 2.0 hip guard. This is a new enhancement that helps keep the hip area both lightweight and protected. Aerolite is Bauer’s lightest foam available, with tech that repels both impact and water. That water aversion helps the padding keep from becoming waterlogged and heavy.
Spine Protection
A huge upgrade to the pants is the floating spine with a Shocklite foam insert. The move evolved from the previous use of the X-Lite Shield to a lighter, more flexible foam. Shocklite is both incredibly light and absorbent, making it the perfect material to shield you from unwanted, injurious impact.
Kidney Protection
As seen in the Ultrasonic, Bauer has added segmented kidney protection with a Flex Forward break to the new Hyperlite pants. This protects the player and allows for maximum mobility and efficiency on the ice.
Belt/Lace Closure
For adjustment, Bauer has added a zippered extension feature, which allows the player to add an additional 1” to the overall length of the Hyperlite. The feature is particularly useful for players who are experiencing a growth spurt mid-season or who are in between sizes.
Leg Zippers
The inner legs of the Hyperlite pants have an enclosed zipper opening that can be used if the player prefers a looser fit in the thighs. These also make it easier to put the pants on for those that choose to put their skates on before their pants when getting dressed.

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.
