BAUER S19 VAPOR 2X INTERMEDIATE BLOCKER

New for 2019, Bauer goalie has continued on one of the most engineered and technologically advanced blockers in all of goaltending and released the Bauer Vapor 2X Intermediate Goalie Blocker. The 2X Intermediate has specific features and revisions from the previous generation and continues to be one of the lightest on the market.

Starting off with the face of the Bauer Vapor 2X Intermediate, the graphic is made up of three main zones with one that covers the cuff area, the next travels diagonally across the face, and finally near the sidewall. There are two sets of “spears” streak across the top and bottom areas for added design along with a digitally printed dimpled texture on the top and bottom zones that provides visual design as well as added durability.

Looking at the board of the Bauer Vapor 2X Intermediate, you will notice the brand new thin tapered design of the board with a defined top angle, lined with Curv Composite internally and C.O.R Tech ST as the skin to create better rebounds that direct easily in to corners and give the goaltender time to recover. Wrapping around to the inner sidewall, the Vapor 2X is designed with strategic cuts to create a solid blocking surface with a lightweight design.

Flipping around to the palm of the 2X Intermediate blocker, a central hand position has been used to give the feeling of making saves in the middle of the backhand for precise blocking placement. The palm itself uses a similar build to a player glove palm with the new AX Suede Pro Palm that creates a comfortable handle and a confident grip on the stick. Internally, the palm feature Thermocore liner that will help keep the goaltender’s hand cool during usage.

Finally, on the cuff of the Vapor 2X Intermediate blocker, Aerolite has been used to create a protective cuff that allows for a wide range of motion to help goalie’s project their hand toward the shooter and create better angles for redirecting pucks in to corners.
