The Bauer Vapor X900 trapper follows the same design as the 1X, but slightly differs in materials to be at a more reasonable price for growing elite goalies. A one-piece cuff is used to provide a larger blocking portion of the glove, and have a larger appearance to the shooter. The X900 trapper has a 60-degree closure, bringing the index finger to the tip of the thumb. This closure is very familiar and popular amongst most goalies. The trapper comes stock with a hybrid-T. The anchoring point of the hybrid-T is like a double-T, but comes together to form a single-T. This design makes it easier to close the glove and increases puck retention. Digitally printed graphics add great colour detail and drastically reduces the overall weight of the trapper.

Goalie Catcher Sizing

More times than not, the fit of your Goalie Catcher is often overlooked. This is likely the result of the limited size availability compared to other pieces of equipment, however a properly sized Catcher provides you the protection and stick control you trust.

Which Catcher Size is for you?
The first step to finding the correct Catcher size is to utilize the “heel-of-palm-to-tip-of-middle-finger” measurement. This measurement will generally send you to the appropriate size you need.

Analyzing the Catcher Fit
It is important to make sure the palm lines up properly within the catching glove, so that it can be closed without excessive force. New goalie gloves will be difficult to close initially, but through either a standard break-in process, or "baking" the catcher with our in-house convection skate ovens, they will soften over time.
*We do not recommend using any conventional in-home ovens, as the results have been very unpredictable in the past and could damage your Catcher.*

Next you want to ensure the adjustable wrist strap goes directly across the wrist bone, and has minimal to no interference with your chest protector. The goaltender should be able to swivel their wrist to accommodate a range of save selections without any restrictions from the chest protector.

Sizing for Growing Goaltenders
For growing goaltenders we recommend following the guidelines set above, rather than sizing up to accommodate growth. Oversized goalie gloves restrict control, especially for young developing goalies. As you climb the size ladder for Catchers, typically the glove requires more strength for pocket closure.

Which Hand Do I Need?
Figuring out which hand you need for your Catcher can be slightly confusing. Goalies generally refer to themselves as "REGULAR" or "FULL RIGHT". Below is the easiest way to simplify which hand you need.

  • Regular - Catcher worn on your Left Hand
  • Full Right - Catcher worn on your Right Hand
