New for 2021, Bauer builds off their winning blocker formula. The Bauer Vapor HyperLite Senior Goalie Blocker utilizes a lightweight and balanced design that provides goalies with improved rebound control. The combination of Bauers proprietary C.O.R tech skin and Rebound Boost core enhance a line already synonymous with hot rebounds.

External Material

The Hyperlite blocker is wrapped in Bauers C.O.R. Tech Plus skin. A familiar technology on Bauers recent leg pads and blockers, the idea behind C.O.R. Tech is to create a harder, faster rebound. Coefficient of restitution, or C.O.R Tech, achieves this through the material returning to its original state faster than other skin types; effectively creating a trampoline effect for the puck.

Internal Construction

The internals of the Hyperlite feature a mix of Bauers Rebound Boost core and Curv Composite. Both Rebound Boost and Curv work together to create a rigid blocker board, with extremely active rebounds. Debuting on Bauers first 1S blocker, Curv composite has been used throughout the face of Bauer blockers to create a stiff board, and in turn harder rebounds. Rebound Boost is a brand new construction method that brings the same core found on the pads to the blocker board. When combined with their Curv composite, this makes for an extremely hard face providing some of the hardest rebounds seen to date.

Palm Material

The palm of the Hyperlite is Bauers 14.5 Connekt+ technology. The 14.5 palm is a slightly shrunk down size reducing excess material to create a more snug fit. Connekt+ is the same material found in the 2X Pro player gloves; its a super soft, supple and yet durable material that gives the Hyperlite blocker a rich, comfortable feel on the hand while enhancing the stick feel through the palm. The Hyperlite palm also has a thin layer of padding to help reduce any vibrations from stick saves.

Side Hand Protection

The Hyperlite blocker uses a Catchlite side wall which is a thin composite material sewn and laced into the face of the blocker. The full composite construction is extremely stiff while also being ergonomically shaped in order to fit closely to the body without interfering with the chest guard.

Cuff

The cuff of the Hyperlite is made up of asymmetrical Aerolite foam. Aerolite is a protective foam that is incredibly lightweight. Bauer has designed this cuff asymmetrically, to promote full wrist mobility when making saves and playing the puck.

Hand Protection

The back of the fingertips have foam added to them to give a bit of extra protection. Each finger with the exception of the index is individually velcro adjustable while the thumb protector uses a molded guard also lined with Poron along with a thumb pillow to absorb the impact of sidewall shots. A velcro removable pad is located by the index finger that helps to stop pucks from riding up the stick injuring the goalie’s hand.

Colors & Customization

The Vapor Hyperlite Blocker is offered in the stock colours of all White, White/Black, White/Navy, White/Blue and White/Red. However, goalies that seek more custom options can customize their dream set on Bauer.com.
