BAUER REACTOR 9000 INTERMEDIATE GOALIE PADS

The brand-new Bauer Reactor 9000 Pro goal pads are a continuation of the popular Reactor 6000 design, focusing on speed, mobility, and performance for quicker, more aggressive goaltending. This "Battlefly" style of pad allows goalies to read and react to plays with athleticism and instinct for superior performance in the crease.

The core of the pad features the unique pro-core insert, creating a lightweight and flexible pad that remains durable over extended use. This core is designed to react to the natural movements of the goalie in all situations. The Pro Core is specifically designed to be incredibly flexible for a "broken-in" feel out of the box while remaining resistant to breaking down and pad shrinkage over time. The single external, double internal break allows for maximum coverage and upper thigh rise support while still allowing fluid, flexible movements within the crease.

To compliment the Pro Core, Bauer has included its proprietary AX Suede Quattro+ material throughout the knee lock and leg channel, enhancing pad feel against the leg and letting goalies create unique color combinations.

In addition to the new materials throughout the pad, the 9000 features an all-new improved leg to pad integration. The back of the pad has integrated (and included) the popular Reactor knee guard accessory to create a seamless knee protection option, eliminating the need for unprotective and cheap thigh flaps. The knee lock has been redesigned to include a longer, more supportive elastic strap with the option of diagonal anchoring to the outer calf wrap. This gives the pad a significantly better chance of rotating perfectly in and out of butterfly and creates a solid seal on the ice nearly every time.

Compared to the Reactor 6000, the 9000 has a newly redesigned outer calf wrap, protecting more of the goalie's leg than ever before. The new square-style outer roll provides extra blocking surface while preventing pucks from rolling over the edge of the pad.
