That_1_Goalie45 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Does anyone know what knee guards these are? Saw them on The Hockey Shop Source for Sports bauer hyperlite pad review. They don’t seem like anything bauer offers now, so i was wondering if they are knee guards that are coming out with the hyperlite line.

dualshowman Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Man, stock knee protection these days is so damn good. These look well designed. Interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckstopper Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Bauer has redesigned/changed the graphics on their knee pro for this year. I haven't seen either of these in person yet to know if there are differences beyond simply cosmetic changes.

The velcro is usually on the outside of the knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That_1_Goalie45 Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Yeah I would think that Bauer would lean more towards the 1x design because most people seem to like those more. Also where can you fin Bauer's pro knee guard model online? 3 hours ago, Puckstopper said: Bauer has redesigned/changed the graphics on their knee pro for this year.

Once the new lines drop all the retailers will have them. @CJ Boiss Those are their top 2 models for next year. The only other option looks like a rebranded X900. If you like the current Supreme knee pro I'd probably grab a backup set. Looking at a couple retailers it already looks like they've gotten a 20% markdown.

If anything I hope they improved the durability material of the 1X model as well as making the landing inside more cushy for the knee cap. Speaking of the 1X, has anyone heated the front cap to be more curved instead of sticking out wide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These look a lot like the 1x's apart from some areas in size. Would the Bauer Pros be like an upgraded 1x, or something new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the Bauer Pros be like an upgraded 1x, or something new? Honestly, I'd be speculating if I said anything more than I have already. To me, the Elite looks almost exactly like the 1x knee pro I bought over the winter and the Pro looks like the Supreme with the strapping changed around slightly. But those are my opinions only. Given the current (high) stock levels at the store I work at, it's pretty unlikely I'll be seeing these in person any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really want to be the first, but that would solve the number one complaint I've had with the 1X knee pad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Basically... Old Supreme knee, jock, and neckgaurd = Pro Old Vapor = Elite And yes, on the knee pads, the "anchor strap" is gone. The did update the bottom strap and it's like the neoprene style from 1X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichMan Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Looking at the pics above some more, I can already see some slight issues and possible improvements I'd suggest to the Bauer designers...if I knew who they were and could get in touch with.

Lol give it a try first, it looks promising. Like @southpawtendy48 I was thinking of ordering paw but might give these a shot. My favorite guards were the original yellow Supremes, on my 2nd pair now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few companies, regardless what product or industry rarely work with public feedback. Those that do have a better chance at producing something that will sell.

Chenner29 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I'll put new and old side by side for reference New Pro / Old Supreme New Elite / Old 1X Both new lines look to have carried over the bottom knee landing portion from the 1X. The new pro seems a little more ergonomically friendly as it has a slight C-shape compared to the straight vertical on the old Supreme. They added a strap keeper on the top strap of the new Elite. Note they changed the garter attachment on both old pieces from the dual nylon tabs to a single rounded loop, so we'll have to buy new garters. I'm a big fan of the 1X. They've been off and on pretty hard to find at retail - either they were not making enough, or were selling out that fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was a shop spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they nuts? Plus tax 170 here. What in the F! I was thinking of paw customs and it's basically in this price point. Bauer is just something else these days.

keeperton Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Tried them on and wasn't crazy about them, but then again the only ones I really liked at all were the Bauer Supremes and the Vaughn SLRs. Maybe I'm "spoiled" by how not bulky my G-Netik knee pads are, even if I get bruises through them occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
