Bauer Vapor 3X Goalie Leg Pads - Senior Review

Great quality, very light, very comfortable!

I wore Gnetik X, Axis 1.9, and the Bauer 3x in 2021. The 3x is by far way better quality than the Axis 1.9. The Gnetik x were great pads, I just found the new 3x to fit my style, very easy to move in. They slide great. and great for getting rebounds out and away from the net. I really like the built in knee block for butterfly position, and elastic boot straps that return the pad… read more to the center of the leg when you get up. I’m very impressed with the Vapor line.

Poor stitching

This is a great pad accept the skin isn’t all stiched down and the skin off the pad is lifting off the face off the pad and the rebounds aren’t as good anymore

Broke after 2 skates

Pads are great but the bungie lace ties broke after only 2 skates.

Bauer vapor 3X leg pads

The product sticking was poorly stitched. The item has significant puckering. We sent back the first pair and once the second pair arrived- was the same. Really disappointed. We were told to upgrade if we wanted a better pad. The upgrade cost is another 900.00.

Super light, great feel

I LOVE these pads. I upgraded from a Vaughn that was admittedly 10 years old, but, wow! There's nothing not to like. They are light, great rebounds, perfect shape, and super comfortable. They felt broken in after the second period of my first game using them.
