Bauer S26 Elite INT. Goalie Chest and Arm

The Bauer S26 Elite Intermediate Goalie Chest Protector is built for growing competitive goalies who need stronger impact management than a recreational chest without moving into a full pro construction. Moulded arms add shaped coverage and additional triceps protection for RVH positions, while Dynamic three-point floaters support catching and blocker mobility. A segmented body, thick belly foams and adjustable core allow the unit to follow the goalie through the stance while maintaining reliable overlap with the pants.

Bauer S26 Elite intermediate chest protector features

• Impact-foam belly blocks: Thick protective foams through the midsection manage puck impacts while maintaining enough segmentation for crouch mobility.
• High-density shoulder protection: HD foams around the shoulders increase impact management in an exposed area of the upper body.
• Moulded arms with RVH coverage: Trapezoidal arm construction adds shaped coverage, including extra protection around the triceps for post play and low-angle shots.
• Dynamic three-point arm floaters: Three flex zones support reaching and glove movement without separating the protective layers.
• THERMOMAX+ liner: The moisture-managing liner improves breathability and comfort during regular competitive use.
• Adjustable arm length and torso fit: Multiple adjustment points help center the elbow and control how the chest overlaps the pants.
• Three-piece body wrap: Segmented body coverage follows the torso through a crouch and helps the unit remain connected during movement.

Who should choose this goalie chest protector?

The intermediate Elite is intended for competitive goalies who fit sizes extra-small through large and need a balance of protection, mobility and adjustment. Confirm that the elbow lands directly in the cup and that the arm does not extend too far into the glove cuff. The torso should remain covered when standing, crouching and moving into RVH, with no exposed gap above the pants.
