Bauer Vapor Fly40 Senior Hockey Gloves

Intro & New Features

At the competitive level, Bauer is releasing the new Fly40 hockey glove. The glove is complete with various high-end tech to keep your hands quick and agile while you play, including a Poly mesh and PU overlay outer construction, MD foam and PE inserts, and a Taktile palm. A variety of colours and patterns are also included in the design of this level of glove, making it more exciting and fun to play in.

External Material

The Fly40 hockey gloves are covered over the exterior in poly mesh, which is a standard choice for gloves because of its cut resistance and durability. It also has strong moisture-wicking capabilities, which can help you stay dry while you play.

Finger Design & Protection

The gloves are equipped with MD foam and PE shield inserts in the fingers, in addition to a three-piece index finger design. The three-piece design helps enhance flexibility in that finger, allowing for more overall freedom when stickhandling.

Backhand Protection

The backhand is protected with a pre-curved design with HD inserts. This adds layers of foams inside the glove providing protection to players and allowing them to feel secure and protected while on the ice. The pre-curved backhand design offers a natural and comfortable fit, allowing players to maintain mobility and flexibility while wearing the gloves.

Thumb Design

The gloves use a simple, two-piece molded Flex thumb, complete with standard foam and plastic inserts. The two-piece design allows for good maneuverability while keeping your thumb in place. Beyond permitting excellent mobility, it also keeps your thumb from hyperextending, which could otherwise cause injury.

Cuff Design

The cuff roll on the Vapor Fly40 hockey gloves is contoured to fit around your wrist protectively while still allowing for enough movement.

Palm Material & Gussets

The Fly40 glove uses a Taktile sublimated palm in the centre of the glove where the glove comes in most contact with the stick. As the name suggests, the Taktile palm greatly increases grip and feel with the stick. Making this area of the glove more durable as well has been a major focus in modern times as more and more hockey sticks are being developed with more grip. The comfort stretch gussets help keep the fingers malleable enough to move with you and your game.

Liner

The liner in the Fly40 is the same combination of liners that we’ve seen before in previous Vapor glove models: Hypersense and Thermomax+. Hypersense is located in the fingers and provides that desired game-ready feel while Thermomax+ in the backhand area keeps your hands fresher and cooler all game long with its odor and moisture-managing properties.

The Bauer Vapor Fly40 Senior Hockey Gloves are available in sizes 14” and 15”, while also coming in Black/Gold, Black/Orange, Blue, Navy/Gold, Red, Black/Red, Black/White, Black, Navy, and Navy/Red/White.
