Bauer designed the Vapor line with an tapered build that offers a natural, close-to-the-body fit, helping to improve mobility with every movement. In the FLY40 model, the fit is further refined with the deep fitting knee, delivering a more secure feel for enhanced stability and control.

 

The reinforced X-Lite Shield shin cap delivers excellent mobility, giving players the freedom to skate and maneuver without restriction. A combination of the upper comfort lock-strap and calf strap ensures a secure, comfortable fit that keeps you agile and streamlined on the ice.

 

This shin guard features a full coverage calf guard with a PE molded insert that wraps around your leg for complete coverage. The thigh includes flexible HD foam for added protection.

 

Inside the shin guard, Bauer uses a Thermomax Sub liner to deliver comfort and protection. Paired with a removable comfort liner, it adds an extra layer of cushioning while staying lightweight thanks to its moisture-wicking properties. Between games, the liner helps the pads dry faster and reduces bacterial growth, keeping your gear fresher for longer.

 

Every player, regardless of level, can upgrade to top-end equipment like the Flylite shin guards if they are looking for high-end protection, comfort, and mobility. But if you’re an occasional player looking for a quality option at a lower price point, the Vapor FLY40 shin guards are a great choice.
