Bauer designed the Vapor line with a tapered build that offers a natural, close-to-the-body fit, helping to improve mobility with every movement. In the top-tier Flylite model, this 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 strap and dual-lock DynaFlex strap ensures a secure, comfortable fit that keeps you agile and streamlined on the ice.

Stiffer and more resilient than its predecessor, this shin guard features Defense Cloud Tech foam in the knee and a CURV composite calf guard that wraps around your leg for complete coverage. 

Inside the shin guard, Bauer uses a Thermocore Zero liner to deliver outstanding comfort and protection. Paired with a removable two-piece 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.

Shin guards may get overlooked when it comes to hockey equipment, but a good pair is vital for players to stay healthy and protected every time they hit the ice. With the Vapor Flylite shin guard, Bauer provides a great option for any player at any level who wants to experience high-end protective equipment.
