The Bauer Elite S26 Intermediate introduces an upgraded body and arm construction inspired by equipment used at the professional level. It provides substantial coverage across the chest, shoulders, stomach, and arms while maintaining the range of motion required for reactive saves.
Main Features
Pro-Inspired Construction
Moulded arms and expanded chest protection draw inspiration from professional goalie equipment. The chest protector creates a substantial protective profile without an unnecessarily rigid feel.
Moulded Arm Protection
Moulded Foam Arms use a trapezoidal shape that fits naturally around the arms and expands protective coverage.
Additional RVH Protection
Extra padding around the triceps helps protect the arms when using the RVH technique in a low position against the post.
Mobile Arm Floaters
Dynamic Three-Point Arm Floaters feature three flex points that allow the protection to respond to arm movement when using the catcher or blocker.
Traditional Wrist Fit
The Traditional Comfort Wrist provides a familiar fit and feel where the chest protector meets the goalie gloves.
Technology and Construction
Impact Foam Belly Blocks
Thick foam blocks protect the stomach area from puck impacts and contact around the crease. Their segmented arrangement supports coverage in both upright and lowered stances.
HD Foam Shoulders
High-density foams around the shoulders help dampen impact energy. The shape of the protection also expands coverage across the upper body.
Dynamic Three-Point Arm Floaters
Three separate flex points allow the arm protection to follow the movement of the hands and elbows. This helps the goaltender react naturally to shots arriving at different heights and angles.
Who Is This Product For?
The Bauer Elite S26 Intermediate Goalie Chest Protector is designed for developing and performance-level intermediate goaltenders who practise regularly and want substantial protective coverage without significantly restricting mobility. It is particularly suitable for modern goalies who frequently use RVH and play actively with their hands.
