It includes various features true to the Vapor line, including a Contour Fit Flexcell vest, X-Lite shield sternum protection, and a sublimated Thermomax liner.
Shoulder Caps & Protection
The shoulder caps are low profile and molded to lower wind resistance and make it easier to keep your speed and glide on the ice.
Sternum Protection
The Velocity shoulder pads use Bauer’s tried and true X-Lite shield over the sternum for elite protection against impact force coming in from the front. The X-Lite shield can be found in the 3X Pro protectives, and it is renowned for its light weight and flexibility.
Spine Protection
The spine is segmented as part of the Contour Fit Flexcell vest design with MD foam protection to offer good protection while also allowing you to maneuver seamlessly on the ice in your gear.
Bicep Protection
The biceps use a simple sleeve-fit design with lots of range of motion potential to lessen distractions and make it easier to move around. They are fully adjustable with some additional fit capabilities length-wise.
Liner
The liner for the Velocity is Bauer’s Thermomax sub liner. Thermomax is amazing at repelling sweat and odour, keeping your pads fresher for longer. The liner will also keep you cool and comfortable while you are in your equipment.

The Velocity shoulder pads are equipped with a removable abdominal protection piece for added protection in that sensitive area.

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.
