The Bauer Reactor 5000 Goalie Catcher has solid protection for use up to the intermediate level of play, and has been scaled down in size to fit younger goaltenders. This lightweight catcher has quite a few of the same features found on the top of the line model, but uses different materials to achieve an economical price point.

Synthetic leather is used throughout the Reactor 5000 catcher, which provides solid durability in high wear areas. The catcher has a deep single-T pocket design with nylon lacing to help reduce pop-outs. The two piece cuff design maximizes wrist and hand mobility and allows for easier puck handling. The cuff box is flared to help with rebound control and further the mobility that the Reactor series is known for.

The Reactor 5000 catcher uses a foam reinforced thumb box that is designed to maximize glove control. The 5000 glove has a segmented foam backhand pad and has a Free Flex cuff that provides additional wrist movement.

The reinforced palm provides improved protection against stingers and helps deaden impact from shots, helping to improve rebound control. The nash hand lining is very comfortable and has solid moisture wicking properties. The 60° break angle provides a finger to thumb closure. Backhand and padded wrist straps ensure a proper fit, limiting twisting and improving control.

The Bauer Reactor 5000 goalie catcher is a solid intermediate level glove that has some nice new improvements over the previous model, and at an excellent price.
