Intro & New Features

As any hockey goaltender knows, having reliable and high-performance gear is essential for success on the ice. Bauer has taken their renowned Hyperlite gear and upgraded it for the 2023 season with a combination of new technology, what worked before, and what’s worked in their other gear families. The Hyperlite 2 chest and arm protector features a Mobility Control sternum, Fusecomp arms, Shocklite foam, and Thermocore and Hypersense liners.

External Material

The Hyperlite 2 chest protector combines 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 a Hypersense liner in the arms for pro-level comfort. Thermocore Zero liner is lighter and more breathable than liners used previously, and Hypersense is specially designed with high-performance material and intended to enhance the overall comfort and fit of the equipment.

Internal Foams

The majority of foams in the Hyperlite 2 are made up of Shocklite and Fusecomp for elite-level protection.

Shoulder Caps

The Hyperlite's shoulders are crafted with Shock-Lite Pro construction, offering superior impact protection and absorption. Shocklite is designed to provide a lightweight and flexible layer of protection that helps to absorb and disperse the impact of incoming shots and rebounds.
The Hyperlite 2 chest and arm protector takes inspiration from lacrosse goalies in the shoulder floaters with Bauer’s new Mobility Control shoulder floaters. Shaped slightly similar to a lacrosse goalie chest pad, the shoulder floaters on this pad are low-profile and sit off the shoulder, simultaneously making the goalie look big while lessening direct impact from shots. The Mobility Control design can also be found in the sternum.

Adjustable Arms

Fusecomp Technology has been used to build the arms of the Hyperlite 2; this tech involves fusing multiple layers of foam and plastics together into a single, thin layer. The result is more efficient energy absorption, reducing the amount of force felt by the goaltender during impacts.
The arms are also removable, allowing for a truly customizable fit and specs.

The Hyperlite 2 Senior chest and arm protector comes in sizes XSmall, Small, Medium, Large, and XLarge in Black and White.
