- Bauer's Fuse pads carry over the wide profile and rigid response signature to the Supreme lineup, while welcoming a wider range of goalies with a softer, more ergonomic, below-knee feel compared to their predecessors.
Core Construction- Flex Profile 3 Core w/ 151° Knee Break and 120° Boot Break: Introduced with the Supreme Shadow pads, the Fuse pads' Flex Profile 3 Core architecture holds a rigid, squared butterfly shape, complemented by a wide boot break that maximizes post-to-post coverage.
- CURV® Composite Reinforced Thigh Rise: Ultra-light CURV® composites reinforce the Supreme Fuse pads' thigh rise, putting down a tight, springy 5-hole seal without adding excess weight. Compared to common pad core constructions such as ABS plastic, polycarbonate, and fiberglass composites, CURV® composites are unmatched in their resistance to cracking or deforming at low temperatures.
- Rebound Boost Core Padding: Dense, springy foams padding each core give the Supreme Fuse pads a more active rebound response, firing pucks away from the crease while retaining a sense of directional control.
- S.L.1.D.3.R. Skin: Familiar to fans of Bauer's elite goal pads, the Supreme Fuse pads are wrapped in an ultra-light thermo-formed pad skin, keeping slides quick and giving the pads a sharp pop.
Calf & Knee Support- Single-Bracket Calf Plate w/ Support Pillow: The Fuse pads' calf plates anchor into the core with a single reinforcing bracket, backed by a plush pillow that helps to fill negative space around the calves. Compared to the previous Supreme Shadow pads' double bracket calf plates, the single bracket Fuse calf plates stay tight while allowing a bit more flex between the calf plates and the pad core, improving crease comfort across a wider range of play styles.
- StabiliSlide Knee Block w/ Control Ridges: Built for rigid stability, Bauer's StabiliSlide knee block design is anchored directly into the pad's core, landing the pads with a planted feel and precision response. Reshaped for the Supreme Fuse pads, the StabiliFlex knee block's focus on precision is further enhanced with embossed channels, balancing the knee block's responsive rigidity with a tractive sense of control.
Boot Construction- Deep Channel, Mid-Flex Recoil Boot: The Supreme Fuse pads' reactive build continues down to the boot with springy foams padding a wide 120° structure. For an added sense of precision, the reshaped Recoil Boot controls around the skates with a deep-fit channel.
- Rebound Edge Shin-Boot: A stiff, streamlined outer roll runs the pads' outer edges from top to bottom, helping the pads to keep their shape and reduce skip-over.
Fit & Adjustability- Calf Lock Strapping System: Further enhancing their control-focused build, Supreme Fuse pads secure around the calves with a wide, padded A-strap that's easily-adjustable across the top, bottom, and sides of the calves.
- Pro+ Elastic Toe-Tie System: Elastic toe ties secure each boot with more give over traditional skate lace toe ties, offering improved edge control and greatly reducing lower body strain. Anchoring into a 4-hole toe bridge, the Fuse pads' toe tie offset is easily adjustable from a single grommet.
