Bauer hockey shin guards are offered in all 3 lines: Supreme, Vapor and the newest part of the family, Nexus. Each of these protective lines provides specific fit and performance characteristics that help players maximize their potential while meeting their protective and comfort needs. In each of the 3 protective lines, you'll find models made for players at both ends of the competitive spectrum. At the elite level, players require a greater level of protection from pucks, sticks and collisions, so Bauer adds technology, coverage and material quality to the high-end models, making them lighter, more comfortable and more protective than introductory level models, which work well for players who are just getting into the sport or are no longer playing hockey at a highly-competitive level.

The distinguishing components of each of the three Bauer protective lines are as follows:

• Vapor – Tapered Fit – Built for speedy, shifty players who need dynamic, lightweight protection
• Supreme – Anatomical Fit – For the player who demands powerful protection, an anatomical fit and fully-loaded coverage
• Nexus – Volume Fit – Designed to provide the player with comprehensive coverage and complete control
