Bauer Supreme S18 Senior Goalie Jock

Bauer Supreme S18 Senior Goalie Jock

Overview:

The Bauer Supreme Goalie Jock is part of Bauer’s top of the line goaltending equipment providing professional-level protection. Super lightweight materials are used throughout the Supreme goalie jock improving overall durability and comfort. Lining the interior is Bauer’s high-quality 37.5 material. Bauer uses this material because of its excellent moisture-wicking properties, keeping you drier as well as more comfortable during the game.

The Supreme jock is fitted with one traditional injection molded cup and a secondary floating molded front plate insert that acts as the primary line of defense. Bauer’s reinforced front plate is designed with FleXorb technology, a thick gel-like insert that provides outstanding shot impact absorption. Bauer’s segmented dual-density foam abdominal pad provides additional protection for the abdomen and hip areas with restricting mobility.

Hockey Helmet Review – CCM Tacks 110 Helmet

CCM Tacks 110 Helmet

Overview:

The newest addition to the Resistance helmet family, the RES 110 Helmet includes an improved multi-density foam liner. Scientists indicate that brain injuries and concussions are mainly due to linear and rotational accelerations of the brain. No hockey helmet can prevent or eliminate the risk of head injury, including concussions.

The Tacks 110 features a 2-piece shell with the same pro-preferred look used in the top-of-the-line Tacks 710 model. This shell’s geometry helps to absorb impacts from all areas. The construction also includes plenty of air venting throughout the shell. This venting system helps to keep your head cool during games, whether you’re breaking a sweat in warm-ups or hopping on the ice in overtime. And with a professional look, this helmet has a style that any level of player can appreciate. Comfortability and fit are also enhanced with the single tool-free adjustment mechanism found throughout the Tacks line. This system uses an occipital adjustment tool at the back of the shell, allowing you to expand and contract the helmet to give you a personalized fit. A helmet, like any piece of protective gear, must fit correctly if the protective and comfort features are to function as intended. The Tacks 110 uses this adjustment feature to ensure that you are getting the best fit possible with this model. Purehockey

Features:

LINER: Multi-density foam liner developed to help manager a variety of impacts
ADJUSTMENT:
Single-tool free adjustment, that allows for an easy alteration at the back of the helmet for a customized fit and high-level comfort.
SHELL:
Designed to maximize protective capabilities and a pro preferred look and shape to help absorb impacts.
