Bauer Vapor 2X Intermediate Goalie Catcher

The Bauer Vapor 2X Intermediate catch glove makes it clear that Bauer is looking to improve their more affordable gear to be similar to the pro model with minor changes. Staying comfortable with a one piece glove and 60-degree break angle, adding a max depth pocket, this glove is comfortable to use right off the shelf.

External Material
Bauer uses their synthetic leather with C.O.R.Tech skin on the new Vapor 2X Pro catcher. This promotes harder, faster rebound than normal blocker skin. Having used this technology for the past few years, Bauer is confident it gives goalies the edge they need over the competition. This technology works by having a faster recovery rate than other skin types, the faster the recovery, the faster and harder the puck will come off.

Break Angle
The glove stays comfortable and consistent with a 60 degree break, same as what was used on the 1X. This angle used by Bauer is more of a finger-close style, meaning when closing the glove, it is almost all in the fingers, this allows the glove to be more protective on the palm and minimize the amount of stingers you’ll get because of added Curv Composite.
