Bauer Youth Essential Base Layer Long Sleeve Top

The Bauer Youth Essential Base Layer Long Sleeve Top gives young players and goalies a simple first layer beneath shoulder pads or a chest protector. Its close-fitting long-sleeve design helps reduce loose fabric and bunching under equipment, while the smooth construction is suited to practices, games and training sessions. The listing includes youth sizes Extra Small through Extra Large, allowing families to choose the fit based on the athlete rather than age alone.

Why wear a hockey base layer

• Close-to-body fit: Helps keep excess fabric from gathering under protective gear.
• Long sleeves: Create a barrier between the skin and elbow pads or chest-protector arms.
• Youth size range: Includes Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large.
• Equipment-friendly design: Works beneath player or goalie protective equipment.
• Easy rotation piece: Useful as a spare top for tournaments and frequent ice schedules.

Choose the correct youth size

Select the size that fits close without restricting shoulder, elbow or wrist movement. Have the player raise both arms and rotate through a shooting or goalie stance before removing the tags. The sleeves should stay in place beneath the equipment without pulling across the shoulders. Wash the top after use according to the garment label and allow it to dry fully before packing it back into the hockey bag.
