The New Supreme MACH is the 4th version of this new style pad from Bauer and they keep on getting better with each version. Some big areas they wanted to focus on the new line was improving slide, maximizing rebounds and increasing durability, they also wanted to make sure the strapping was simple and easy while still allowing you to really dial in the connection of the pad to your leg.
External Construction
We see a new external material being used called SL1D3R Skin Technology, this new one piece material gives what they were looking for, maximizing slideability so you can get across the crease even quicker than before. The new skin on the pad is stronger in construction increases the durability of the pad while also working to maximize speed that the puck comes off the face of the pad.
Strapping & Construction
Working to provide a better connection for the goalie to the pad they've gone with a new TUNE-FIT + strap system that allows for a single strap going across the leg with the adjustment for above and below the calf so the fit can be dialed in to your specs. Going with the new TUNE-FIT + strapping system is a new Calf Support which combines a new molded calf pillow and bracket built in to the calf plate, the new calf plate geometry provides great balance while in the butterfly. Providing a full seal along the ice in the butterfly is a 120 degree boot and the same STABISLIDE knee block with it's L shape that connects with the pad for reduced flex between the pad and knee block.
Working inside we have the 151 ShockLite Core Pro with added CURV composite in the thigh to keep that rigidity in the pad which Supreme goalies enjoy.
Custom Colurs & True Design
Bauer has custom options available if you are just after changing the colours on the set or a more pro version where you can mix & match between Vapor & Supreme families and have the same graphic on the full set. Now they also have a True Design where you can design a special graphic of use one that you've seen but want them in your colours.
