The all-new Bauer Supreme MACH protective line is developed for players who like their gear to fit close to the body and are looking for optimal mobility. A couple of big upgrades Bauer put into the top two models is the use of CURV Composite, and X-Flex Shield with the hinge flex on all 3-price points of the shin guards. 

New Upgrades: CURV Composite Sternum, AMP Biceps.

Fit: Anatomical 

Protection: Full Coverage Vest, VENT Armor Foam, CURV Composite 

Liner: Thermo Core Zero 

Adjustability: Adjustable Chest and Biceps 

Shoulder Caps: AMP Shoulder Caps 

The Supreme MACH shoulder pads have an anatomical design, providing a natural, close-to-the-body fit for maximum power with every movement. This fit is further enhanced with low-profile AMP shoulder caps and extended rib wrap. These designs help to provide more comfort and mobility while playing, giving you the freedom of movement you’re looking for without sacrificing protection.

Bauer includes various technologies for increased protection throughout the MACH shoulder pad, like the addition of CURV Composite in the floating sternum and on the biceps. The Armor Foam found on the spine and extended rib reinforcement allows for lightweight protection in key areas. 

For mobility, Bauer included an AMP split bicep that adjusts to your movement. This is a velcro piece that can be altered according to your personal preference. The low-profile shoulder cap construction makes these shoulder pads feel apart of your body to feel more agile and flexible on the ice. 

The interior of the MACH shoulder pads include a Thermo Core liner. This high-end technology adds an extra layer of comfort while keeping the pads light. Thermo Core also helps to stop the growth of odor-causing bacteria so the shoulder pads stay clean and ready-to-use every time you hit the ice.

With a new design, added protection, and plenty of performance features, the Bauer Supreme MACH shoulder pads are a great choice for the high-level player that skates 4-5 times per week, or any skater who wants to experience top-of-the-line protective technologies.
