Intro & New Features

New for 2025 is the Bauer Flylite Chest & Arm Protector. This protector is designed to provide goalies with elite-level protection while featuring top-of-the line specs to give goalies an overall high quality protector. The Flylite protector features an Aerolite sternum shield, Dynamic 3-point flex arm floaters, and a new FlexWrist with 360 protection.

External Material

The Flylite chest protector uses a variety of high-quality materials such as leather and advanced nylons to increase abrasion resistance. The chest protector uses a Thermocore Zero liner in the spinal area and in the arms for pro-level comfort. Thermocore Zero liner is lighter and more breathable than liners used previously, and it is specially designed with high-performance material and intended to enhance the overall comfort of the equipment.

Internal Construction

Inside the protector, we see that the spine is protected with an Airflow spinal protection. This design allows for top-notch protection in the key areas as well as aeration throughout the back. The sternum is also covered with an Aerolite shield, which is designed with HD foams to provide elite coverage from impacts, keeping goalies protected.

Shoulder Caps

The Flylite shoulders are constructed with Shock-Lite Pro, which offers superior impact protection and absorption. Shocklite is designed to provide a lightweight and flexible layer of protection from incoming shots and rebounds. The Flylite chest & arm protector also features new mobility control shoulder floaters. The floaters are low-profile and sit off the shoulder, simultaneously making the goalie look big while lessening direct impact from shots.

Bicep & Forearm Protection

The arms are protected with reinforced floating CURV with Shocklite foam. The integration of CURV allows for a durable material to protect goalies from impact, while Shocklite is added throughout the arms to provide an extra layer of coverage from impacts.

Adjustable Arms

Inside the arms, there is also a dynamic 3-point flex system which allows for optimal arm rotation so goalies arent feeling restricted while wearing the chest protector. The arm system is also reinforced with CURV which provides goalies with a durable material to provide an extra layer of protection.

Elbow Caps

The elbows are protected with Shocklite padding which provides a lightweight and flexible layer of protection to the elbow from incoming shots and impacts. The elbow caps also features a Thermocore Zero liner which is designed to wick away moisture and keep the elbow dry and cool while on the ice.

The Bauer Vapor Flylite Intermediate Chest & Arm Protector comes in sizes Small/Medium, and Large/Extra-Large in Black.
