itis121 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Correct me if I'm wrong but are these the new Bauer elite padded base layers? or is that the European ver. of the yellow Bauer elite base layers ( all websites i have found these on doesn't state the price in CAD/USD)?

mik Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I think it is new version of the older yellow-black model. Both were in bauer shop this week and yellow in discount.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I like the look of those pants over the previous version. Does anyone own them? I heard the older yellow version were quite short in the legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why but they never appealed to me. I'd probably think about it if I still used thigh wraps. I had the V4 ones that aren't the most comprehensive in protection. Since I've switched to knee pads, I'd heavily avoid them. These suckers here: Edited September 29, 2017 by coopaloop1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the older yellow version were quite short in the legs I have the yellow ones. My biggest complaint is that the waist area doesn't really match the legs in terms of a supposed "compression" fit. I have to work the legs into place, which I like because they don't feel like they're going to slide around. But then the waist/crotch is so loose comparatively it seems odd. That being said, I don't notice it at all once I'm on the ice. As far as the integrated knee padding, I've always needed volleyball knee pads inside whatever knee pads I've had to feel really comfortable. 2 Gen's of Vaughn, the last gen of Bauer. It wasn't until I got these that I could go without the extra set of knee pads. I'll fully admit that seems like a pretty personal preference though. They sell the knee padding as separate sleeves too, but I'd feel more comfortable with them as part of this full unit. Don't have any strong feelings about the inner thigh padding. There is one individual segment of the knee padding that has just recently come off, other than that, still in one piece. No real issue with the length of legs, but maybe that's where the weird waist to leg size ratio comes in Edited September 29, 2017 by Mroy31 Update comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPv6Freely Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I don’t think they’re meant for protection so much as just some extra padding. You should still be wearing knee pads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukka Ropponen Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Thanks for the feedback guys. Our shirt design has a list of ideas and we are talking to a few possible manufacturers to see what they can do and what will the pricepoint be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoalieGuy101 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Now that the blue padded Bauer top has been out for a while now, can anyone comment on the quality of it? ie machine washability, durability, and protection from shots when combined with a neck guard/bib combo? I'm thinking of using it in combination with a Vaughn neck guard that has a bib. I was originally thinking of going with verbero, but saw the comments on it overheating, so I figure the blue bauer shirt might be a good option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there are some websites that list them. Goaliemonkey has it listed as a new arrival. Even the Bauer site doesn't list the blue ones. I was hoping to get the blue pants because of a couple sections on the yellow version that have worn off. Or just get the "knee pad" version and have them sewn onto a better general base layer. Haven't used the yellow version of the shirt with a bib although I'm working on a maltese combo demo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My UA shirt uses this and I love it. Makes a difference with my C&A arms staying snug. See green square below I feel like Goldy Locks right now... given the new Passau C/A and Maltese neck guard I found I was getting pretty warm in my padded shirt and thought I didn't really have much need for it anymore anyway. I switched to a compression non-padded shirt I had which was in my bag one night and it was much better, but didn't have grippy sleeves. The following skate I wore a Bauer I had in the closet with grippy sleeves, but it's a not as snug of a fit as I'd like. Seaching UA's site I can't find the shirt you have... any ideas what it is (was) called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a big fan of padded shirts myself but since I've started using my new Passau Pro Pack I found that I have the luxury of not needing the added protection... and a bonus in using a non-padded shirt... much cooler. The heat retention on some of these is pretty nuts... and I don't care how vented the back of the shift is... the VE8 will be a toasty one.

Makes it easier for movement but I’m not sure how much it would actually help with an impact. What I like from Bauer and other companies is the use of non-traditional foams like Poron that help cushion better (at least in theory).

Heat is my concern with all of these, especially long sleeved ones. I run really, really hot and sweat profusely regardless of what I'm wearing on my base layer.

creasecollector Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I'd be wondering about the heat on that Vaughn shirt too. But the protection size and placement looks great for a protective undershirt. I've always pants to try one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
