Inside the Bauer Supreme Fuse Protective Line

A goalie's pads get the spotlight, but a skater's game is built on what's underneath the jersey. Bauer Supreme Fuse protective takes the Supreme philosophy — structure, power, full coverage — and brings it to the shoulder pads, elbow pads, pants and shin guards, so you can play heavy without thinking about it.

01 / Philosophy
Built
to disappear

Streamlined. Anatomical. Disappearing.
No compromises.

FUSE is the elite tier of the Bauer Supreme S26 protective family. Built around a streamlined, low-profile fit. Composite plates where the impacts land. Multi-density foam stacks tuned for progressive absorption. Hinged constructions at every point where the body actually moves.

The best protective gear is the kind you stop feeling. Every gram of material on a FUSE piece has to justify itself — if a foam block can't move with the body, it gets replaced with something that can. If a plate doesn't spread impact across its full surface, it gets engineered out.

Five pieces. Four size classes. One uncompromising philosophy: protection so well-tuned to the body that the body stops noticing it.

Worn at the
highest level.

FUSE is the protective gear chosen by elite players around the world — at the level where every gram, every hinge, and every millisecond of mobility decides the next shift. Two players. Two leagues. One uncompromising standard.

Shoulder Pad

Shoulder Pad

Front Supreme FUSE Shoulder Pad — Front
F.01

Integrated CURV® Composite Sternum

Self-reinforced polypropylene plate spreads impact across the full chest surface. Half the thickness of equivalent ABS plastic at the same protection rating.

F.02

ADAPTiV Ribs

Pre-curved ribs with integrated stretch gusset that lets the pad expand with breathing and torso rotation. Protection that moves with you, not against you.

F.03

AMP Split Biceps

Each arm moves independently of the torso. A wrist shot or check on one side doesn't pull the opposite shoulder pad out of position.

F.04

Vent-SHIELD Spine

Engineered airflow channel along the spine plate releases heat and moisture mid-game. The only Supreme system purely dedicated to temperature.

F.05

THERMO CORE ZERO Liner

Hydrophobic, anti-microbial, low-friction. The pad weighs the same in period three as it did in warmups.

Elbow Pad

Supreme FUSE
Elbow Pad

Pair Supreme FUSE Elbow Pad
F.01

Low-Profile Cap with DEFENSE CLOUD TECH

Softer, more responsive foam tuned for everyday impact — clip checks, stick contact, awkward landings. The feel is closer to silicone than to traditional foam.

F.02

AMP Hinged Bicep with CURV® Composite

Composite material covers the bicep through full elbow extension. Hinge on the inside where the muscle compresses; outside stays armored.

F.03

180° CURV® Composite Forearm

Full-wrap forearm coverage. Composite plate follows the arm's contour from inner to outer wrist — no gaps, no migration during play.

F.04

Wrap Lock Strap with Comfort Anchor

Secures the pad without pinching. The protection sits exactly against the body — not just close to it.

F.05

THERMO CORE ZERO Liner

Premium moisture management. Repels sweat instead of holding it.

3-SHOX Foam Backhand

Multi-density foam stack. Three layers: the first flexes, the second compresses, the third dissipates. Built for the highest-energy contacts in the game.

F.02

HYPERFLEX Thumb

Armadillo-style segmented composite over the thumb base. The smallest detail that delivers the biggest range-of-motion improvement.

F.03

AMP FLEX Cuff

Hinged cuff keeps composite material on the outside of the wrist — the strike zone for a slash — without locking the wrist into a fixed position.

F.04

CONNEKT-Z Palm

Premium synthetic palm tuned for stick feel. Maximum control on the puck, durability through long sessions.

F.05

THERMO CORE ZERO Liner

Moisture stays out, stick feel stays in.

F.01

X-FLEX Shield Shin Cap

Hinged shin cap follows the natural angle of the knee bend. Maximum mobility through the stride, full coverage at all times.

F.02

ErgoDynamic Knee Cap

Deep, anatomically-shaped knee pocket locks the patella in place. No migration during aggressive skating or shot-blocking.

F.03

CURV® Composite Calf Guard

Self-reinforced composite spreads shot contact across the full calf surface area. Half the thickness, full protection.

F.04

DEFENSE CLOUD TECH Knee Foam

Softer, more responsive foam inside the knee cap. Absorbs the everyday contact that harder composites pass through.

F.05

THERMO CORE ZERO Liner

Skin stays unbothered through three periods of aggressive movement.

CURV® Composite Spine

Full-length composite plate along the spine. The strongest impact zone gets the strongest material — lighter than ABS, harder absorption.

F.02

AEROLITE 2.0 Hip Guard

FUSE-exclusive ultralight construction over the iliac crest. Protects the bony hip without creating a wall that fights the stride.

F.03

Pro-Level 840D Nylon Shell

Highest-grade outer fabric Bauer uses. Abrasion-resistant against boards, sticks, and skate blades through long pro seasons.

F.04

Forward-Flex Closure

Lean further forward through the stride without the pant binding at the hip flexor. Full power from the first push.

F.05

Extension Fit · THERMO CORE ZERO

Up to 2.5 cm length adjustment built in. Hydrophobic THERMO CORE ZERO liner across the kit.

Inside
FUSE.

Six technologies that define the FUSE protective system. Each one engineered to solve a specific problem — all driving toward the same end: disappearing from the player's awareness and just working.

T.01 / CURV® Composite

Composite
plates.

Self-reinforced polypropylene. High impact resistance, fraction of the weight of ABS plastic. In FUSE, scaled across sternum, forearm, spine and calf.

T.02 / 3-SHOX Foam

Multi-density
stack.

Three foam layers in the glove backhand. The first flexes, the second compresses, the third dissipates. Progressive impact absorption.

T.03 / ADAPTiV Ribs

Stretch
gusset.

Pre-curved ribs with integrated stretch panel. The shoulder pad expands with breathing and rotation — moves with you, not against you.

T.04 / AMP System

Hinged
everywhere.

AMP Hinged Bicep, AMP Split Biceps, AMP FLEX Cuff. Hinges where the body has hinges. Flex without giving up coverage.

T.05 / DEFENSE CLOUD

Responsive
foam.

Softer, more elastic foam in the elbow cap and shin guard knee. Handles the everyday contacts that harder composites pass through.

T.06 / THERMO CORE ZERO

Zero
moisture.

Most aggressive moisture management Bauer makes. Hydrophobic, anti-microbial, low-friction. The pad weighs the same in P3 as in warmups.

Supreme FUSE Full Kit
05 / The full collection

One line.
Five pieces.
Zero weak points.

FUSE is engineered as a system. Each piece works on its own — but only when all five are on the player does the philosophy become visible: a continuous, low-profile, consistent protective barrier from shoulder to skate.

The materials change between pieces. The fit philosophy doesn't.
