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.
Thigh Flex Options- Soft, Dynamic Flex (Vapor FlyLite): Flexes around the goalie with soft-mid flex below the knee, progressively softening above the knee. On the ice, Bauer's soft flex Vapor core makes an excellent option for goalies who want a thin pad with strong rebounds, but prefer a more pliable feel compared to Bauer's Supreme pads.
- Semi-Soft Flex (Vapor 2X Pro): Carried over from older generation Vapor pads, Bauer's semi-soft thigh is shaped with less pre-curve compared to the newer generation soft flex pads. Offers a dynamic flex throughout the knee with a stiffer, more flat profile above the knee.
- Mid Flex Core w/ 151° Knee Break (Stock): Flex Profile 3 Core holds a rigid, squared butterfly shape that presents broad coverage and rebounds with a more distinguished, more predictable response above and below the knee.
- Stiff: Stiffer construction with mild pre-curve, offers a tight and springy feel through the thighs that slightly softens below the knee.
- Extra Stiff: Stiffest pad option with slight pre-curve for goalies with a wide butterfly looking to maximize coverage and rebound speed.
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.
Knee Support Options- StabiliFlex Knee Block (Vapor): A directly integrated knee block layered with Bauer's adaptive combination of synthetic suede and tactile rubbers. Compared to the Supreme lineup's StabiliSlide knee block, the StabiliFlex knee block helps to keep the knee centered while allowing a bit more flex between the knee and the pad's core.
- StabiliSlide Knee Block w/ Control Ridges (Stock): 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.
Knee Wing Options- Centered-Adjustable (Stock): Adjustable and removable mounting point, runs knee strap from the knee block horizontally across.
- Centered-Sewn-In: Non-adjustable mounting point, runs knee strap from the knee block horizontally across.
- Removed: Removes mounting point across from knee block.
Below-knee (Professor Strap) Options- No Strap (Stock): No mounting points or below-knee strap included.
- Sewn-In Strap: Standard nylon webbing strap, adjustable but not removable.
- Removable Strap: Laced-in stretch strap, removable and adjustable.
- Sewn-In Stretch Strap: Elastic stretch strap, adjustable but not removable.
Calf Strapping Options- Calf Lock System (Stock): Further enhancing their control-focused build, Supreme Fuse pads secure around the calves with a wide, padded A-strap, tension-adjustable across the top, bottom, and sides of the calves.
- SLYD Strapping (Vapor FlyLite): V-Shaped strapping, tension-adjustable at the upper calf and lower calf, anchoring across the calf wrap with a wide, low-profile hook-and-loop base. Lightweight and low profile, while spreading strap tension across the calves more than the older Tune Fit 2.0.
- Tune Fit+ (Supreme Shadow): Y-shaped, padded calf strapping with easy adjustments at the top and bottom of the calves, prioritizes comfort and precision control. Similar to Calf Lock System, but with a bit more padding and more room for adjustment from the Y strap base across to the calf wrap.
- Tune Fit 2.0 (Vapor HyperLite): Similar shaping to SLYD strap, but forms a V-shape with a single strap running from the top of the calf, across through a small hook-and-loop anchor point and back to the lower calf. Most simple strapping with the lightest weight and lower profile. Focuses and centers the strapping tension more narrowly compared to the newer SLYD strapping.
Boot Construction- 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.
Boot Construction Options- Deep Channel, Soft Flex: Maximizing control and comfort, the deep, soft flex boot option offers a more direct sense of control with a wider, more comfortable range of motion through the skates.
- Deep Channel, Mid Flex 120° Recoil Boot (Stock): 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.
- 100° Flat Boot w/ Soft Flex (Vapor): Stock for the Vapor lineup, the soft boot flex allows for more comfortable, more precise play through the skates, while the flat profile allows the pads to rotate off the skates faster.
- Flat, Mid Flex 120° Recoil Boot: Wide 120° structure with flat profile maximizes post-to-post coverage and helps the pads to off the skates rotate faster.
Boot Strap Options- None (Stock)
- CRS Short: Pre-installed elastic strap, adjustable and removable.
- CRS Long: Pre-installed elastic strap, wider range of adjustment and removable.
- Standard: Traditional leather strap.
Toe Options- 4-Hole Pro+ Elastic Toe System (Stock): 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 box, the Fuse pads' toe tie offset is easily adjustable from a single grommet.
- Centered Toe Box w/ Kurim Elastic Ties (Vapor): Centered toe box keeps a tighter feel at the skates, promoting precision movements down through the boot while allowing some flexibility in the ankles. For added security and durability, the Vapor ties secure with heavy-duty Kurim Polyurethane hook-and-loop fastenings.
- Centered Toe Box w/ Traditional Skate Lace Ties: Most traditional option, centered toe box keeps the skates more centered across the boot, and anchors the pads without allowing any give.
