The 2024 Bauer X Glove was designed for the recreational or new-to-hockey player that is looking for something that doesn't have all the high-end technologies but will provide the comfort and protection needed for playing occasionally or on pond. Fit: Tapered Protection: MD Foam, PE Insert Liner: Hydrophobic Sublimated Mesh Cuff: Integrated Cuff Roll Palm: TAKTILE Thumb Flexibility: 2-Piece Flex Thumb Made with a Poly Mesh integrated shell, the Bauer X glove is durable and lightweight with a tapered fit for optimal comfort and mobility. For protection Bauer uses MD foam with PE inserts in the fingers and backhand. This will provide impact resistance against common hockey occurrences like slashes or blocked shots. The Bauer X glove also includes a TAKTILE palm to make it easier for new-to-hockey players to grip their stick. The two-piece flex thumb will make it easier for movement but also prevent hyperextension. This glove is a great option for recreational or beginner players that don't need top end technologies but still get the protection and comfort needed at a much lower price point.
