Bauer SV-Pro Senior Goalie Leg Pads – Special Edition Colors
New for 2025 is a new line from Bauer called the SV-Pro. First, what is with the name SV-Pro? SV is the abbreviation that the NHL uses for save percentage. Therefore, the name is a reference to save percentage which is somewhat important to a goalie. Now on to the product itself. The SV-Pro is a very hybrid style feeling pad. Much more flexible with a large pre-curved s-shape to the pads. This pad will be great for a hybrid goalie with a medium to narrow butterfly. Bauer has seen the need for goalies to have a more flexible pad that seals the five-hole and is flexible for a normal goalie (compared to all the 6’3″ + goalies in the NHL). The SV-Pro along with our Vaughn Classic double-break pads will be the best options for this type of goalie in 2025. The thigh area of the SV-Pro pads has been reinforced with CURV composite reinforcement.
On to the features of the Bauer SV-Pro leg pads. The SV-Pro will incorporate the STABILIFLEX Knee Block, again for added flexibility in the pads. Bauer will also use a material on the pads for optimized slide ability, particularly on the inner edge. The inner edge also has a distinct design pattern to promote greater side to side slide compared to the older models.
The core of the SV-Pro will be similar to the X5-Pro core but with a thicker boot construction. The boot on the SV-Pro goalie pads is thicker and more filled in than the X5 Pro model. This helps keep the pad closer to the goalie’s shin and eliminates any space on the bottom of the goalie’s leg where it curves to the foot area. The boot angle on the SV-Pro pads will be the 100-degree boot break.
The strapping system in the shin and calf area will be the Supreme Tune Fit+ strap system. This has been extremely popular and there is no reason to fix something that is not broken. This strapping system can be adjusted tighter or looser depending on the goalie’s preference.
The vertical roll on the SV-Por will have a more traditional look to it compared to past Bauer models. On the X5-Pro and older models, the vertical roll has a curve at the top pf the pad. Some goalies didn’t mind this look while other goalies felt it gave the pad an uneven look to it. The SV-Pro will have a vertical outer roll that is the same width top to bottom.
The toe strapping system will use the Supreme bungee system with a Velcro attachment. Goalies like the Supreme toe bridge because of the four different spots a goalie can attach the bungees to. Some goalies like an offset toe attachment, some goalies like a neutral attachment point, the Supreme toe system allows for each goalie’s preference.
