Used Bauer PRODIGY W/ ELBOW PADS Youth Shoulder Pads MD

The Bauer Prodigy is an entry-level, 2-in-1 youth protective top from the 2019-2021 lineup, combining shoulder pads and elbow pads into a single, easy-to-wear garment for beginner hockey players. Designed specifically for young kids (ages 6-9) to simplify gearing up, it offers basic impact protection with a focus on mobility and comfort, reducing the hassle of separate pieces. The "Medium" size fits chest circumferences of about 26-28 inches (66-71 cm) and arm lengths of 10-11 inches (25-28 cm), ideal for average-framed youth. This combo replaces traditional separate pads, integrating seamlessly with Prodigy pants/shins for a full kit. Originally retailed for $60-80 USD new, it's certified for recreational play and emphasizes quick on/off for pond or house league sessions.

Key Features
