Bauer JR Performance Base Layer Pant S26

The Bauer S26 Junior Performance Base Layer Pant is a close-fitting hockey underlayer for young players and goalies who want stretch, moisture management and less bunching beneath protective equipment. Its polyester-and-spandex construction moves with the legs through skating, butterfly drops and recoveries, while the streamlined compression profile helps goalie knee pads, socks and pants sit more consistently than they may over loose athletic clothing.

Bauer S26 Junior Performance Base Layer Pant features

• Compression fit: A body-hugging cut reduces excess fabric under goalie pants and helps the garment remain in place during repeated movement.
• Stretch fabric blend: Polyester and spandex provide a balance of moisture management, flexibility and shape retention.
• Breathable mesh zones: Lighter mesh material supports airflow in heat-prone areas without adding bulky seams.
• HeiQ Fresh treatment: Bauer uses an odor-management treatment intended to reduce odor-causing bacteria between washes.
• Junior size range: The TGC listing includes Small, Medium, Large and X-Large options.
• Low-profile layering: The pant is designed to be worn directly against the skin beneath hockey socks, knee protection and goalie pants.
• Everyday practice utility: The washable base layer is suitable for practices, games and tournament weekends when consistent comfort matters.

How to choose the junior base-layer size

Choose the size that fits close to the body without restricting the hips, knees or waist. A performance base layer should not sag or fold behind the knee, but it also should not pull tightly enough to limit a goalie stance. Compare the player’s current waist and height with Bauer sizing, and inspect the garment regularly as a growing goalie changes sizes.

Fit and compatibility note: Wash according to the garment label and allow it to dry completely before storing it in an equipment bag.
