The Vapor Velocity hockey gloves are a Source for Sports exclusive glove released alongside the new 2022 Vapor protective lines. This glove is ideal for the recreational player who wants to get out on the ice with solid protection without worrying about breaking the bank. It uses all the tech you would want and need at that level and more, including a Flex thumb, a reinforced Connekt palm, and Bauer’s Thermomax sub liner.
External Material
The external material is made of cable mesh, which is a classic choice for gloves due to its solid strength and cut resistance.
Finger Design & Protection
The gloves are equipped with dual-density foam for protection and use a three-piece index finger design. The three-piece design helps enhance flexibility in that finger, allowing for more overall freedom when stickhandling.
Backhand Protection
Same as the fingers, the backhand also uses dual-density foam to protect the hand. The foam is strategically layered and placed on for the good dispersion of impact force.
Thumb Design
The gloves use a simple, two-piece molded Flex thumb, complete with standard foam and plastic inserts. The two-piece design allows for good maneuverability while keeping your thumb in place. Beyond permitting excellent mobility, it also keeps your thumb from hyperextending, which could otherwise cause injury.
Cuff Design
The cuff roll on the Vapor Velocity gloves is contoured to fit around your wrist protectively while still allowing for enough movement.
Palm Material & Gussets
The Velocity glove uses a grey Connekt palm with a full overlay. This construction offers the wearer maximum comfort and a closer, “connected” feel to the stick and the puck, in addition to having some extra durability. Making this area of the glove more durable has been a major focus in modern times as an increasing number of hockey sticks are being developed with more grip. The polyknit gussets also help keep the fingers malleable enough to move with you and your game.
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.
Sizes & Colors
The Bauer Vapor Velocity Youth Hockey Gloves come in 8” and 9” sizes in a Black/White colourway.

Bauer Hockey Gloves Sizing Chart
Player Glove Sizing
To ensure you're purchasing the proper sized glove, one simple measurement using a measuring tape is all it takes to accurately find your size. Place the tip of the tape measure at the top of your middle finger (or which finger is longest) and measure all the way down to the bottom of your palm. Record this measurement and multiply by two. This will be roughly the size of glove you need. Compare your height, weight and age to the charts provided on each model as well to find your best fit.
Sizing Hockey Gloves (Growing Players)
If you are including growing room in the glove for a young player, always round the measurement up to the next whole number (ex. 3.2” x 2 = 6.4” -> 7”).
Making Sure Your Hockey Gloves Fit (Growing Players)
To ensure hockey gloves fit properly for a growing hockey player, have them place their hands in the glove with their palms facing up. Have the player place their hand inside the glove as they would if they were wearing the glove in a normal situation. Take your index finger and put it between the top of the player's palm and the edge of the cuff. Typically you want no more room than the width of your index finger.
You also want to have the player press their fingers against the palm so you can see the outlines. Make sure their pinky finger is at least 3/4” of the way into the pinky slot of the glove finger. To determine if the glove is too small, take your fingers and feel along the inner cuff of the glove just after the palm material. Make sure the player’s palm is not spilling over the material and onto the cuff. You also want to look at the fingers of the glove, and make sure the player’s fingers to fit in each finger slot, but they should not be pressed up against the edge or touching the gussets.
Sizing Hockey Gloves (Full-Grown Players)
When sizing for true size (no growth room) using the above measurement, round measurements less than 0.5 down to the next whole number. If the measurement ends in .5 or higher, round up to the nearest whole number.
Making Sure Your Hockey Gloves Fit (Full-Grown Players)
To ensure your hockey gloves fit properly, you want to take a look at two things.
