Bauer S22 NG21 PREM Youth Ice Hockey Neck Guard

Bauer S22 NG21 PREM Youth Ice Hockey Neck Guard is Bauer's premium collar scaled down to the smallest neck sizes, with the same materials as the senior version. If you're a parent who wants top-end protection for a child who is just starting out, this is the one to look at: DuPont Kevlar cut-resistant fibres, paired with soft polyester and para-aramid fibres.

That softness is not a small detail. Young kids are brutally honest about anything that scratches or pinches, and a collar they complain about has a habit of getting “forgotten” in the car. This one is meant to be comfortable and non-intrusive, so it can simply stay on from the first drill to the last. The easy-close collar adjusts in seconds, and HeiQ Fresh treatment keeps the smell down – “wear more, wash less”, as Bauer puts it.

It is BNQ and CE certified, and it comes in Youth (S/M) for necks measuring 26 to 35 cm. Black with a white Bauer logo, it looks like what the older players wear – which, for many young skaters, is reason enough to put it on without a fuss.
