Bauer Hockey Goalie Leg Pads - Page 23

Bauer has been one of the most popular goalie pad brands on the market for creating ultra-lightweight goalie pads with incredible rebound control.

Most pads have a +1 or +2 sizing, ex 34+2. The plus sizing means how many extra inches are added to the top of the pad. This helps with 5-hole coverage when in the butterfly.

Goaltender leg pads should last a minimum of three years, but how long depends on how often they are used. Most goalies will go through several sets throughout their career, as most pads have a basic life span of five seasons. The finish may become worn or scuffed, but the framework can last much longer than that.

The toe ties add insurance against goalies having their pads pop off the ice and fly into the net during a penalty shot attempt. The top tier goalies in the NHL use toe hooks, which can be purchased on our website.

When a goalie is sitting down, they should measure from the outside of their ankle to the middle front of their knee cap. If a goalie measures below 17” for example, they will not fit well in our 35" overall pads.
