Intro & New Features
Bauer has unveiled their newest addition to their recreational goalie line. The Bauer GSX family has been created for goalies who skate 1-2 times per week, and it provides the protection needed and performs at a good level for less competitive levels of hockey. The catcher features rebound control foam, R.O.M strap with adjustable lower wrist control, overlapping pinky finger stall with a HyperSense liner for added comfort, and a Max-Depth T Trap with a skate lace pocket.
External Material
The catcher is constructed of synthetic leather material, which provides good durability, as well as some good performance at this price point. It also features rebound control foam to absorb and distribute puck impacts, keeping goalies protected.
Break Angle
The GSX catcher uses a 75-degree break angle, which focuses primarily on a fingertip-to-thumb closure. This further translates to a wider catch surface when opening the glove during play. The Supreme based closure design provides max coverage, which helps goalies track pucks and hold onto rebounds.
Finger Protection
To protect the fingers, Bauer incorporated the use of an overlap pinky finger stall which is made of durable and high-quality foams, and provides added comfort and control. On the inside, they used a Hypersense liner which provide an additional level of comfort inside the catcher.
Pocket Design
The pocket features a max-depth T Trap pocket design. This build allows goalies to absorb the puck and keep rebound in the glove, compared to letting them out. The pocket is completed with a skate lace design or a webbing system. The Black and White colors comes with a skate lace pocket, while Blue, Navy, and Red feature a webbing strapping system.
Strapping
To secure the fit, the GSX catcher has a Supreme R.O.M strap that fully adjusts the catcher to sit where you want it. Additionally, it has an adjustable lower wrist strap, which when combined with the R.O.M strap, provides additional fit adjustment for goalies.
Cuff Design
The cuff design is a reinforced cuff that provides protection against impacts goaltenders may face. Made of high-quality foams, its construction provides structured durability while not affecting the mobility of goaltenders.
Sizes & Colors
The Bauer GSX Intermediate Goalie Catcher is available in White, Red, Navy, Black, and Blue. The White color is the only variant that has a full-right option, for those who catch with their right hand.
