Even More Bauer Q & A
1. Mike: I love the style of the Bauer Supreme Classic shoulder pads, however, they are not listed as being available in small size, is this true?
Hi Mike, sorry, but this is true. Generally the majority of consumers looking for this level of product generally fall into the Medium – XL sizing. We'll take your feedback though and consider making these in that size down the road. Thanks.
2. Trent: What is the new helmet that Eric Staal is wearing on bauer.com and when will it be out in stores?
The helmet Eric Staal is wearing is the new Bauer 7500 helmet. It will be available in store in the spring of 2010.
3. Brad: hi am wondering where i can get 14" custom 4roll gloves black and orange? they have them at a local hockey store but they are a size to small. all the stores say i have to make a team order to get them. is there any way i can get black an orange 14" 4 rolls? or possibly order them?
The Black/Orange gloves fall under our Make To Order Program. We offer up individual player colors during a certain period of time in which the retailers need to order the inventory they need for the season. We currently do not stock every color through the season. Sorry for the inconvenience. Best bet would be to look online or ask your local retailer to order your size during their next booking season.
4. James: What does the 9500 helmet offer that the 8500 does not?
The 9500 helmet has a Fused Expanded Polypropylene(FXPP) liner which tranmits 20% less enegery during impact than the same volume of traditional EPP foam. It also has a Thermo Core which obsorbs and releases excess heat.
5. Andrew: When will the Bauer X:60 stick be avaliable for customization?
The Vapor X:60 Stick will be available for customization in early November. We'll keep you posted and make an announcement when it's available.
6. Steve: I just bought my daughter a pair of Bauer Vapor X:20 skates through an on-line retailer. Do they have to be baked, and if so, for how long and at what temp?
Hi Steve, the skates can be baked, but we recommend going to one of our retailers where they can bake the skates for you. Check out the Dealer Locator to find the store closest to you. Thanks.
7. Robert: What is the Bauer version of the Mission Hossa curve?
The Bauer pattern/curve comparable to the Misson Hossa is the Malkin PM9.
8. Jack: What is Bauer's curve to CCM's Ovechkin?
At retail, the Bauer pattern/curve you would want is the Staal P91A. If you're ordering through iD, then the P91 is even closer.
9. Devin: If I order a custom one95 will it just say bauer on it?
Hi Devin, The One95 sticks on iD will be Bauer branded when the Vapor X:60 stick becomes available. This will be available in early November.
10. Ethan: What is the bauer curve to TPS Nash?

Bauer Q & A
1. Kurt: What is Bauer's curve to Easton's Heatley?
At retail, the Kane P88 will be what you're looking for, but on iD, the P12 is even closer.
2. Doug: Are the 31in. one75 pads available in intermediate sizing ? (i.e 11in. width), do they also come with the plus 1?
The ONE75 31" is a junior size and is not available in a plus 1.
3. Is it possible to order a mask directly from Bauer? I have been looking everywhere trying to find a youth Spiderman Action mask with no luck at all. My son seems set on that particular mask but it seems tough to find.
Everything must be purchased through a retailer. You should call your local dealer by using our Dealer Locator or use the internet to find that mask design. Also your local store could likely order it.
4. Kenny: Is it possible to get the bauer rx9's in a 38'+1 No 37+1" is the largest size we make. My bauer 3000 goal skates wore out.I loved them. Are there any more left of that discontinued series?
Sorry, unfortunately there are no more available.
5. Davis: My son airs out his equipment religously; however, his NV7 K9 mask is still getting rust on the inside. How can I clean it now and avoid this in the future?
Rust is difficult to combat. Even if gear is dried out it still is spends a lot of time wet and damp and over time rust can form. On the NV7 mask you can upgrade to a stainless steel wire which will take care of most vulnerable part. Also changing out the hardware every few years is fairly inexpensive and is an easy way to refurbish the mask yourself. Taking the mask apart and wire brushing the rusted areas would be another option.
6. Brandon: In goalie ads i know itech was supposed to come out with the x-rated goal pads are you guys gona come out with that anytime soon.
No, but the Supreme ONE100 that is coming out in the spring is very similar.
7. Israels: When are the new bauer goalie skates coming out, I especially want to see the new vapor goalie skates.
New Supreme goalie skates will be in stores in April. We won't be making a new Vapor skate.
8. Paul: I'm playing with pro-stock Malkin sticks and I'm now addicted to the actual blade he's using. Is there any way I can custom order these sticks?
Sorry, it's not possible to order those.
9. John: My son has a size 4 Nike Bauer one35's. His foot has grown slightly and still fits in the skate but the footbad does not match his mold. Is there any way of adjusting the mold again?
Skates can be reheated up to three times, but our advice is to go to your local retailer for proper re-heating and molding.
10. Lucas: I purchased One90 skates for my son and now his younger brother is using them. His first time out one of the blades broke. I can understand that blades break. What I don't understand is that Bauer no longer makes blades for the skates. A top of the line skate that no one has replacement blades for. I think that is horrible product support. Now what do we do?
Hi Lucas, sorry to hear about the broken blade. Your best solution will be to have your local retailer replace the holder and the blade. Sorry for the inconvenience.
11. Max: I am looking for the FLEXLITE 4.0 skates and none of the Hockey stores in Montreal carry them , Can you tell me if they will be shipped out to retail stores?
Hi Max, your best bet would be to check our Dealer Locator and check out your local retailers. Thanks.
12. Jordy: When are x60 gloves coming out?
The new Bauer Vapor X:60 gloves will be available in the spring of 2010. Thanks.
