Built for those just starting out or getting back into the crease, Bauer's 2026 GSX chest protector offers a comfortable, easily-adjustable fit with solid all-around protection at a budget-friendly price point.
Chest & Shoulder Protection
Comfort Edge Shoulder Floaters: Spanning the shoulders and collarbones the 2026 GSX chest protector's shoulder floaters are formed from plush comfort edge moldings.
Floating Sternum Block: Affixed with a floating construction, the 2026 GSX protector is designed to keep the sternum block centered for optimal protection throughout the goalie's range of motion.
Arm & Elbow Protection
Pre-Curved Bicep & Forearm Moldings: Complementing its all-around protective design, the 2026 GSX chestie bicep & forearm protection is molded to extend around the arms with a complementary, ergonomic fit.
3-Point Flex Elbow Floaters: Reshaped for the 2026 GSX chest protector, Bauer's 3-Point Flex Elbows ensure a proper, protective overlap from the shoulders down.
Core/Belly Protection
Removable Core Extension w/ Outside Pant Loops: Built to suit a wide range of goalies, the 2026 GSX chest protector features a removable belly block extension, combined with outer loops around the belly to help lock down a seamless chest-pant fit.
Dual-Density Belly Blocks: The 2026 GSX chest protector wraps the belly with segmented blocks, formed from a combination of high and low-density foam layers. On the ice, the high-density foam layer helps to cut impact energy while the lower-density foam layers slow and absorb impacts.
Fit & Comfort
Supreme Taper Spine w/ Fight Strap: Also familiar to fans of Bauer's Supreme chest protectors, a tapered spine keeps the chest protector's protective fit in optimal position without making the goalie feel too bound up. Additionally, the 2026 GSX chestie's Supreme taper spine includes a hook-and-loop fight strap, helping to secure complete top-to-bottom spine coverage.
Mesh Front & Back Comfort Lining: A breathable mesh comfort lining helps to keep a cool-touch, breathable feel across the torso and down the spine, complemented by plush, segmented comfort lining across the abdomen.
Adjustable/Removable Arms: For complete coverage and comfort, the 2026 GSX chest protector offers easy adjustments down the arms. Complemented by a removable design that not only helps with proper fitting, but makes for easy cleaning.
