The Vapor Velocity Hockey Gloves are a Source for Sports exclusive glove released within the 2025 Vapor protective line. This glove is ideal for the recreational player who wants to get out on the ice with solid protection without worrying about breaking the bank. It uses tech you would want and need at that level and more, including a Connekt palm, a simplified cuff, and Bauer’s new Fly40 sublimated liner & fabric.
External Material
The external material is made up of a mix of PK mesh and cable mesh, which is a classic choice for gloves due to its solid strength and cut resistance. The durable material keeps the gloves intact for longer and prevents cuts and unwanted damages.
Finger Design & Protection
The gloves are equipped with dual-density foam for protection and use a three-piece index finger design. The three-piece design helps enhance flexibility in that finger, allowing for more overall freedom when stickhandling.
Backhand Protection
Same as the fingers, the backhand also uses dual-density foam to protect the hand. The foam is strategically layered and placed on for the good dispersion of impact force.
Thumb Design
The glove uses a simple, two-piece molded flex thumb, complete with standard foam and plastic inserts. The two-piece design allows for good maneuverability while keeping your thumb in place. Beyond permitting excellent mobility, it also keeps your thumb from hyperextending, which could otherwise cause injury.
Cuff Design
The simplified cuff has an open design, which offers superior wrist movement. The resulting effect is a cuff that lets you get that extra snap on the puck while providing ultimate protection from slashes and shots.
Palm Material & Gussets
The Velocity glove uses a Connekt palm with a full overlay. This construction offers the player maximum comfort and a closer, “connected” feel to the stick and the puck, in addition to having some extra durability. Making this area of the glove more durable has been a major focus in modern times as an increasing number of hockey sticks are being developed with more grip. The polyknit gussets also help keep the fingers malleable enough to move with you and your game.
Liner
The Velocity shoulder pads feature the all-new Fly40 sublimated liner and fabric. This new material is designed to wick away moisture and keep the pads dry and cool while wearing them on the ice.
