Name: Bauer Vapor Velocity Youth Hockey Gloves - 2022
SKU: 656113

The Vapor Velocity hockey gloves are a Source for Sports exclusive glove released alongside the new 2022 Vapor protective lines. This glove is ideal for the recreational player who wants to get out on the ice with solid protection without worrying about breaking the bank. It uses all the tech you would want and need at that level and more, including a Flex thumb, a reinforced Connekt palm, and Bauer’s Thermomax sub liner.

External Material

The external material is made of cable mesh, which is a classic choice for gloves due to its solid strength and cut resistance.

Finger Design & Protection

The gloves are equipped with dual-density foam for protection and use a three-piece index finger design. The three-piece design helps enhance flexibility in that finger, allowing for more overall freedom when stickhandling.

Backhand Protection

Same as the fingers, the backhand also uses dual-density foam to protect the hand. The foam is strategically layered and placed on for the good dispersion of impact force.

Thumb Design

The gloves use a simple, two-piece molded Flex thumb, complete with standard foam and plastic inserts. The two-piece design allows for good maneuverability while keeping your thumb in place. Beyond permitting excellent mobility, it also keeps your thumb from hyperextending, which could otherwise cause injury.

Cuff Design

The cuff roll on the Vapor Velocity gloves is contoured to fit around your wrist protectively while still allowing for enough movement.

Palm Material & Gussets

The Velocity glove uses a grey Connekt palm with a full overlay. This construction offers the wearer maximum comfort and a closer, “connected” feel to the stick and the puck, in addition to having some extra durability. Making this area of the glove more durable has been a major focus in modern times as an increasing number of hockey sticks are being developed with more grip. The polyknit gussets also help keep the fingers malleable enough to move with you and your game.

Liner

The liner for the Velocity is Bauer’s Thermomax sub liner. Thermomax is amazing at repelling sweat and odour, keeping your pads fresher for longer. The liner will also keep you cool and comfortable while you are in your equipment.
