Name: Bauer Vapor Shift Pro Intermediate Hockey Pants
SKU: 518625

New to the Vapor protective family comes the Source for Sports exclusive Vapor Shift Pro collection. This gear is tailored for that high-performance player looking for gear that won’t necessarily break the bank. The pants come equipped with various features true to the Vapor line, including a Flex Spine, a Fast Strap closure system, a 420D nylon shell, and a contour tapered fit.

External Materials

The pants are held together by a 420D nylon shell, which is tough, abrasion-resistant, and highly waterproof. This grade of nylon is often used in outdoor equipment and has a good balance between light weight and thickness. The pants also include strategically placed overlays and stretch zones for better reinforcement and flexibility where needed.

Thigh Protection

The thighs use a split cap design with molded PE inserts to combine good flexibility with solid protection against impact.

Hip Protection

The hips have a contour tapered fit coupled with a molded PE shield insert for good coverage against impact force. As the agility line of Bauer’s hockey equipment, the pants need to allow you to be as aerodynamic as possible while you skate, which is where the tapered fit comes in—it’s a bit tighter at the top and slightly wider at the bottom for less wind resistance while you skate.

Spine Protection

The pants are equipped with a Flex Spine and HD foam inserts to protect the spine while simultaneously allowing for great maneuverability on the ice.

Kidney Protection

The kidneys are protected with molded PE inserts, which are designed for a closer fit while keeping your kidneys fully covered.

Belt/Lace Closure

The Vapor Shift Pro uses a combination of skate laces and a wrap-around belt with a Fast Strap closure system. This closure is a modified version of the standard strap that uses a plastic clip buckle instead of the traditional slide buckle, making the process of putting on your gear much more efficient.
