Growing or recreational goaltenders are going to get their dollar’s worth with the Bauer Reactor 5000 goal skate. The quarter package is made with a nylon construction to provide the goaltender with an economically lightweight and durable package. The 5000 even gets features found in its higher-end counterpart to improve comfort such as a flexible ankle collar and an extended tongue to reduce lace bite. Internally, the 5000 gets lined with a hydrophobic synthetic liner that keeps the foot dry during gameplay and reduces bacteria build-up over time. Lastly, the cowling is Bauer’s extremely successful Vertexx model including traditional 4mm stainless steel.
