Offering similar features to the high end gloves in the Vapor line, the Bauer X2.9 SR Hockey Gloves are perfect for the competitive player or someone on a budget. The glove is still extremely lightweight and durable and provides a great level of protection.
External Material
The Vapor X2.9 is wrapped in cable mesh with a PU overlay making this glove extremely durable and lightweight.
Finger Design & Protection
Bauer carried over the 3-piece index finger design made popular with last year’s Supreme models onto this year's new Vapor lineup. The 3-piece finger allows for more comfortable hand positioning on your stick and helps improve overall hand maneuverability. The fingers are protected by mid density foam along with strategically placed PE inserts.
Backhand Protection
Bauer used mid density foam in conjunction with PE inserts to create the well protected backhand of the Vapor X2.9 giving you that extra peace of mind that your hands are safe.
Thumb Design
The two-piece flex thumb is well padded and helps eliminate hyperextension while still allowing you to have stick maneuverability.
Cuff Design
The molded cuffroll with molded logo allows you maximum wrist motion with its open design helping you get that extra snap on the puck while also providing incredible protection.
Palm Material & Gussets
The super soft TAKTILE palm feels great on the hand and provides a soft stick feel, while an overlay helps to increase the longevity of the palm.
Liner
The X2.9 include a Vapor line branding sublimated liner.
Sizes & Colors
The Bauer Vapor X2.9 Senior Hockey Gloves come in sizes 13”, 14” and 15” and are available in black/white, black/black, navy/white, and navy/red/white

Player Glove Sizing
Sizing Before Purchase
To ensure you're purchasing the proper sized glove, one simple measurement using a measuring tape is all it takes to accurately find your size. Place the tip of the tape measure at the top of your middle finger (or which finger is longest) and measure all the way down to the bottom of your palm. Record this measurement and multiply by two. This will be roughly the size of glove you need. Compare your height, weight and age to the charts provided on each model as well to find your best fit.
Growth Room
If you are including growing room in the glove for a young player, always round the measurement up to the next whole number (ex. 3.2” x 2 = 6.4” -> 7”).
True Size
When sizing for true size (no growth room) using the above measurement, round measurements less than 0.5 down to the next whole number. If the measurement ends in .5 or higher, round up to the nearest whole number.
Sizing after Purchase
To ensure a proper size once you have received your gloves, you will want to take a look at two things. One – make sure the your fingers are all the way in the finger slots but not pressing into the gussets on the end, a good fitting glove will leave your fingers so that they are just able to brush the tips of the gussets. Two – make sure thr palm of your hand is not spilling over the end of the glove palm material onto the inner cuff. Keep in mind the moment you first receive your new gloves will be the smallest the glove will ever fit. Over time and with prolonged use, the foams will compress and the leathers will stretch marginally expanding the size of the glove marginally.
If you are sizing a glove to include growth room for a player, have them place their hands in the glove with their palms facing up. To determine if a glove is too big, have the player place their hand inside as they would if they were playing. Next, take your index finger and determine how much additional room is between the top of their palm and the edge of the cuff. Typically you want no more room than the width of your index finger. Then have the player press their fingers against the palm so you can see the outlines, make sure their pinky finger is at least 3/4” of the way into the pinky slot. To determine if the glove is too small, take your fingers and feel along the inner cuff of the glove just after the palm material. Make sure the player’s palm is not spilling over the material and onto the cuff. Next take a look at the fingers of the glove, you want the player’s fingers to fit in each finger slot, but they should not be pressed up against the edge or touching the gussets.
A quick way to test for a proper fit is to pick the stick up off the ground by the shaft, if this cannot be done easily, the glove is probably too big.
