New for 2014, the Bauer Reactor 4000 Chest & Arms is built using many of the great features that you"ve come to expect from the Bauer Reactor line, while also making some subtle design changes that improve both mobility and protection. The end result is a Senior Pro unit that the goalie can feel confident will hold up to any upper intermediate to advanced level shots while allowing him or her to move around the net with ease.

Underneath this main floater sit two additional shoulder caps - a rounded plastic upper cap that sits directly under the main floater and also helps cover the armpit area, and a thinner third foam flap that also helps provide additional coverage to the bicep area.

This seam is covered by two separate HD foam flaps, which are also segmented.

Like most Bauer chest guards in recent years, the Reactor 4000 uses the Adjustable Belly System (ABS) - additional belly pads that can be attached to the bottom of the unit to extend belly coverage by up to three inches. Both the bicep and the forearm padding is made of thick HD and LD foams, and this padding is covered in Spring Mesh to both reduce weight and help the arm protection stretch somewhat. A two-piece, tried and true arm floater provides substantial protection, and a molded elbow cap keeps the entire elbow joint safe and we
