The Bauer Vapor APX2 Hockey Gloves are the flagship model in the Vapor glove series. Bauer integrated their top materials and features into this glove including triple layer Aerolite™ foam, Thermo Max odor control and 37.5™ wicking technologies for superior performance, fit and feel.

The exterior of these gloves feature nylon mesh, synthetic leather, and the addition of cable mesh to give the glove a nice balance of breathability and pro-level durability while adding a sweet 3D Bauer embroidery to give the glove a premium look.

The APX2 hockey gloves incorporate some of the lightest materials on the market. They contain the new triple layer Aerolite™ technology in the fingers, backhand, and finger block areas that reduce the weight of the glove by 30% while maintaining pro-level protection. The liner of the glove features Thermo Max™ technology for quality odor control while utilizing the new 37.5™ technology, a moisture wicking technology that utilizes your own body heat to evaporate the moisture trapped inside the glove, keeping your hand and the glove dryer during play.

These gloves also have the Ax™ Suede Quattro+ palm that is made of a triple fiber blend that provides abrasion resistance with a really soft feel. The palm has enhanced moisture management that keeps your hand dry while prolonging the life of the palm by resisting water uptake, making it less prone to cracking over time. This palm also comes colored based off of the glove's color, giving it a customized look. These gloves also feature the 3-piece Free Flex lock thumb for excellent forward flex while preventing hyperextension.

NOTE: A running change was made on the colored palm overlay. Moving forward, colored palm overlays will be all grey like the "black" model while the fingers and thumbs will still be colored
