Intro & New Features
The Bauer GSX is the perfect model for all those goalies out there trying to ball on a budget or for those who don't need the elite level performance of the 3S and UltraSonic. It is their newest rendition of Bauer’s S27 glove. Ranging in sizes from Senior all the way down to the little guys in the Prodigy Youth gear.
External Material
The entirety of the exterior of this glove is covered in a synthetic leather material to give good durability, as well as some good performance at this price point.
Break Angle
The break angle on the GSX trapper is similar to the previous model, in a 75 degree break. The break is geared toward the fingertip-thumb closure angle, resulting in a wide open feel when the catch surface is open.
Pocket Design
The GSX glove does not retain the catchlite palm that both the 3S and the Ultra Sonic have, instead the palm is completely synthetic leather. Although the catcher doesn't feature Bauer’s catchlite the closure of the glove is still very responsive.
The pocket features the double “T” introduced in the 2S Pro trapper. The benefits of the double “T” include a wider pocket opening and improved puck tracking when looking through the pocket when freezing the puck.
Strapping
The strapping of the GSX is taken from the previous generation, including a nylon wrist straps, velcro backhand & finger straps. The straps on the trapper allow for a relatively customizable fit to keep the trapper comfortably in place without the worry of it being jarred loose.
Cuff Design
The GSX glove will be featuring a one-piece cuff just like the rest of the Supreme family. The internals will be filled by a varying density of foams, while the exterior of the cuff will be using the synthetic leather.
Colors
The Bauer GSX SR trapper is available in White, Black, Navy, and Red. The GSX Goalie Glove is available in Regular hand (worn on your left hand) in all colourways, and Full Right (worn on your right hand) in All White. This particular catcher is a demo item, and is available in Black.
