The Bauer Elite SR goalie knee pad is a high-level piece of equipment designed for advanced goaltenders, with a focus on combining solid protection with a mobile, anatomical fit. Newer models, such as the 2025 version, feature design upgrades for enhanced performance.
Key features
- Anatomical fit: The Elite knee guard is pre-shaped to naturally complement a goalie’s leg in the butterfly position. It has a three-piece construction that moves smoothly with your leg.
- Advanced protection: Bauer incorporates Curv composite material in the main impact zones for lightweight yet secure protection. An outer layer of Poron padding in the 2021 model helps deaden rebound impacts.
- Moisture-wicking liner: The liner uses Bauer’s THERMOCORE ZERO or THERMO MAX technology to wick away moisture, keeping you cool and dry during intense play.
- Secure strapping: The knee guard features a three-strap Velcro system for a proper and secure fit. A single webbed strap on top allows for attachment to a garter belt, a feature that has received mixed reviews from users.
- Flexible movement: Newer models include Neoprene stretch straps that contour to the knee without causing discomfort.
