Used Bauer CHALLENGER Junior Gloves Black 11"

Overview

The Bauer Challenger Junior Hockey Gloves in Black, 11" size, are an affordable, entry-to-mid-level protective option from Bauer's Challenger series, designed for developing junior players (typically ages 10-12, heights 4'8"-5'4", ~70-100 lbs) in recreational or house league play. These gloves offer a balanced anatomical fit that supports growing hands with good wrist mobility for stickhandling and basic protection against slashes, without the bulk of pro models. The Challenger line emphasizes value and durability, making it a step up from pure beginner gear like Lil Sport, ideal for kids transitioning to more competitive mites/squirts. The black colorway provides a clean, understated look with Bauer's signature logos for easy team matching.

Key specs:

• Color: Black (solid black nylon shell with grey palm accents and subtle branding).
• Size/Length: Junior 11" (covers from mid-forearm to fingertips; fits hand measurements ~5.5-6" palm-to-middle-finger).
• Weight: ~0.7-0.9 lbs per pair (lightweight foam for all-day comfort).
• Material: Durable nylon exterior for abrasion resistance; synthetic Nash palm for grip and flexibility.
• Features: Dual-density foam backhand and fingers for impact absorption; flex zones in thumb and cuff for dexterity; breathable mesh liner; elastic wrist strap for secure fit; pre-curved design to reduce break-in time.

These gloves are great for building fundamentals—light enough for quick passes but protective for occasional bumps
