When purchasing a new pair of goalie leg pads, there are many factors to consider to ensure that you get the model that fits your level and style of play the best. If you’re unsure which leg pads are right for you, or if you need help with sizing, visit your local Pure Hockey.
The Bauer Reactor leg pads feature Bauers’ soft flex core designed to be more pliable and flexible, providing a greater level of rebound and control. While the stiff CURV composite in the thigh, adds stiffness throughout the thigh for more active rebounds. Bauer uses their popular TuneFit strapping system from their Vapor line of leg pads, offering a series of adjustable straps and fasteners to offer a customizable level of support mobility and comfort.
Bauer has also included their coretech calf plate, combined with their stabliflex integrated knee block offering a smooth slide and consistent movement. These pads also have a soft 110-degree boot with a slightly flatter boot, for greater mobility while reducing potential thigh overlap. For the toe ties Bauer uses their elastic toe system, allowing for better post seal in RVH.
If you’re a goalie playing 2-4 times a week and are looking for elite features in a high performing pair of pads, the new Bauer Reactor R5 Pro leg pads are a great option.
