Bauer Vapor 3X Hockey Skates Regular Width 6.5 (Used)

The Bauer Vapor 3X hockey skates offer many high-end technologies to help players improve their skating skills while keeping them comfortable. Classic Pro 40-oz felt tongue for enhanced protection and flexibility Form Fit+ Footbed for optimal comfort Lightspeed Pro II holder and LS1 runner Digi-Composite boot for good support with plenty of flexibility Hydrophobic liner with comfort edge padding When purchasing a new pair of hockey skates, it is important to focus on fit. If you’re unsure which skate line or model fits your foot best, or if you want an accurate measurement and assessment, visit your local Pure Hockey. The Bauer Vapor 3X Skates include plenty of features found in higher-end Senior skates. The 3-D lasted digi-comp quarter package provides good stiffness but plenty of flexibility for the developing skater who needs to stay comfortable while on the ice. For comfort Bauer uses memory foam padding for the ankles. This feature is lightweight which increases the thermoformability of the boot thanks to its molding properties. With this material around the ankles, you will be comfortable, and the boot will form to your foot for a better overall fit. Inside the skate is the hydrophobic liner with Comfort Edge. This liner offers some good grip and moisture-wicking properties, helping to secure the foot into the boot, especially in the heel area. This locked-in technology helps to prevent the foot from sliding. With the foot secured in place, overall skating performance will be improved. At the top of the 3X skate, Bauer includes a Classic Pro 40oz felt tongue. This tongue construction provides a lightweight, comfortable feel while also providing some good protection. Below the boot, Bauer combines the TUUK Lightspeed PRO II holder with the TUUK LS1 runners. The holder locks in the blade for good energy transfer when striding, and the LS1 runner offers solid edge life and durability.

The Bauer Vapor 3X hockey skates are ideal for performance-driven players who skate frequently and need a balance of comfort and value. They feature a lightweight composite boot for support and custom fit, a comfortable 40-ounce felt tongue, and a durable Lightspeed Edge holder with LS+ stainless steel blades. Known for quickness and agility, the Vapor line offers the 3X as an affordable option that retains many features of higher-end models.

“

The 3X was released close to the HyperLite, which was a revolutionary skate at the time, so it kinda got lost in the mix. It's still a good skate and very similar to the 3X Pro model but without as much comfort. It's a mid- to upper-level fully composite skate with a felt tongue and a hydrophobic liner with a great grip.
