The all-new Bauer Supreme MACH youth 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.

Fit: Anatomical 

Protection: Full Coverage Vest, CURV Composite 

Liner: Thermo Max Sublimated

Adjustability: Adjustable Chest and Biceps 

Shoulder Caps: Low Profile Caps.

The Supreme MACH youth 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 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. The integrated spine and extended rip reinforcement allows for lightweight protection in key areas. 

For mobility and comfort, Bauer included full head opening and adjustable biceps with an adjustable sleeve. This will allow the shoulder pads to get over the head easily and to be adjusted to your kids liking so they can move easier on the ice. 

The interior of the MACH youth shoulder pads include a Thermo Max Sub liner. This technology adds an extra layer of comfort while keeping the pads light. It also prevents 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 youth 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.
