- Bauer’s Supreme Shadow leg pads maintain the Supreme line-up’s wide, coverage-optimized shape, while improving comfort with reshaped calf ergonomics and a softer flex.
- Core Construction
- Flex Profile 3 Core w/ 151° Knee Break and 120° Boot Break: Slightly softer over the Supreme Mach pads, Bauer’s Flex Profile 3 gives these pads a similar squared shape, with a bit more flex in the thigh.
- CURV® Composite Reinforced Thigh Rise: High-strength, ultra-lightweight CURV® composites have been implemented to reinforce each thigh-rise, ensuring rigid 5-hole coverage and proper pad seal. Compared to commonly used impact-resistant materials such as ABS plastic, polycarbonate, and fiber glass composites, CURV® composite offers unmatched resistance to cracking, deforming, or splintering, at low temperatures.
- ShockLite+ Foams: Padding each core, Bauer’s ShockLite+ foams help to absorb and redirect puck impact energy, providing powerful yet controlled rebounds.
- S.L.1.D.3.R. Skin 2.0: New for the Supreme Shadow leg pads, Bauer’s S.L.1.D.3.R. 2.0 offers improved durability and hotter rebounds without compromising slidability and control.
- Calf & Knee Support
- Calf Support System 2.0: Bauer’s redesigned, CSS 2.0, implements a wider, more supportive calf wrap and improved ergonomics at the calf support pillow.
- Stabili-Calf Design: Bauer’s Supreme double calf plate geometry returns for the Shadow leg pads. Featuring reinforced, double bracketed support, the new Shadow leg pads are built for a stable, controlled butterfly, at a slight forward pitch.
- Rebound Edge: Streamlined outer roll design with stiff padding to ensure overall pad shape and help reduce skip-over.
- StabiliSlide Knee Block: Integrated knee block topped with a tactile synthetic suede for precise knee movements.
- Fit & Adjustability
- Supreme Tune Fit+ Strapping System: Offers easy adjustments at the top and bottom of the calves for a precision fit, with the option to be entirely removed.
- Pro-Inspired Elastic Toe-Tie System: Elastic toe ties secure each boot with more give over traditional skate lace toe ties, offering improved edge control and greatly reducing lower body strain. Featuring a 4-hole toe bridge, the Shadow pads’ toe tie offset is easily adjustable from a single grommet.
- Streamlined Leg Channels w/ Widened Knee Cradle: The Supreme Shadow pads feature a flush leg channel profile, with streamlined Ergo Foams offering improved pad rotation and greatly reducing overall weight. Additionally, the knee cradle has been widened to better accommodate knee guards.
