Bauer Vapor Flylite Pro Goalie Leg Pads

Bauer Vapor Flylite Pro Goalie Leg Pads

New for 2025 is the Vapor Flylite Pro Goalie Leg Pads.  The Vapor line is Bauer’s most popular retail level goalie pad.  The main reason for this is the Vapor series appeals to almost all goalies but particularly the hybrid goalie looking for more flexibility in their goalie pads.  Bauer is the fastest growing goalie pad, blocker, glove combination in the pro, college and junior levels.  The new Vapor Flylite Pro Goalie Pads have many new features for 2025.

Starting with the knee block area, the Flylite goalie pads will have a 7.5-inch knee black, this is 1-inch longer than any Bauer goalie pad in the past.  This will help seal the internal butterfly coverage that shooters cannot see.

The new SLYD Tunefit strapping system will allow the goalie to get the pad tighter to their legs without sacrificing pad rotation.  This also makes the pad more supportive as the goalie can take advantage of all the new technology incorporated into the Flylite goalie pads.

Bauer has also introduced a new Rebound Edge to the outer/vertical roll.  This will be on the shin and boot area only – not on the knee and thigh rise area.  The reason is to not interfere with the flex points on knee and thigh.  The Rebound Edge is a stiff outer/vertical roll that helps eliminate shots from pushing past the outer/vertical roll.  If the outer/vertical roll is too soft, there have been instances of goals going in because it just didn’t have the stopping stiffness.  This new rebound edge helps eliminate this problem and therefore reduce untimely goals.

The new Vapor Flylite also has a new skin material – SLID3R Skin.  This material will help lessen the yellowing effect that Bauer pads have had in the past.

The boot on the Flylite goalie pads is thicker and more filled in than past models.  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.

A new toe tie system comes standard on the Flylite goalie pads. It is a new material that is more flexible and wraps more naturally around the top of the goalie’s foot.

The new landing on the Vapor Flylite leg pads will come with less grip material than past models.  Many goalies complained that the grip material hurt pad rotation, so Bauer has scaled that back for 2025.

Goalies can custom order the Bauer Flylite goalie pads in a Pro or Pro Custom selection.  The Pro is the stock Flylite Goalie pad but in any available custom color that Bauer offers.  The Pro Custom also is custom colors, but the goalie can change the specs on the pads to their preference.
