# Bauer Vapor 3x Pro Hockey Skates


### Product Description:

The Bauer Vapor 3X Pro hockey skates are a high-end option for players who prioritize agility and speed. They feature a lightweight and responsive boot made from Bauer's Curv composite material, which is also heat-moldable for a custom fit. The skates also have a HydroLite liner to wick away moisture and keep feet dry, as well as a flexible tongue for a better range of motion. Within the Bauer lineup, the Vapor line has historically been known for its focus on quickness and maneuverability, and the 3X Pro continues this tradition. While not the top-of-the-line offering, these skates provides excellent performance at a more accessible price point compared to Bauer's top-tier skates.

### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Jetspeed FT1](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft1/l1305) and the [True FT9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956)

The CCM Jetspeed FT1 skates are designed for speed and acceleration. They feature a lightweight and rigid boot construction with CCM's MonoFrame 360 technology and utilize the SpeedBlade 4.0 holder for efficient energy transfer. The True TF9 skates prioritize a customized fit and enhanced comfort, with True Hockey's custom-fit system based on individual foot measurements. These skates offer a tailored fit for improved performance. Players can choose between the Jetspeed FT1 and the TF9 based on their speed, fit, and overall performance preferences.


### Progression:

**Key improvements of the [2X Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-2x-pro-3/age-senior/l233493) over the [1X Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-1x-2/pro-stock/l181835):**



* **Fit**: DYNAFLEX system provides a more customized fit compared to the three-width system.
* **Weight**: The 2X Pro is lighter due to advancements in materials and construction.
* **Performance**: The 2X Pro offers better energy transfer, edge control, and overall responsiveness.

**Key improvements of the [3X Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-3x-pro/l165935) over the [2X Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-2x-pro-3/age-senior/l233493):**



* **Boot**: The new Curv composite material offers slight weight reduction and potential performance enhancements.
* **Blade**: The LS6 blade is a new option with a focus on durability and edge control.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are a step up from recreational skates but without the hefty price tag of top-of-the-line models. The Curv Composite quarter provides a good balance of stiffness and flex for powerful strides with some maneuverability.
* After getting them baked they are unreal. Feels like a pair of sneakers. The LS Pulse blades took some time getting used to for a beginner like me but after a few sessions they’re solid and they make skating somewhat easier. 
* These skates are awesome and super stable. For me there was a slight learning curve (probably more so because I have been skating in the wrong size for a good portion of my life) but these skates are game changers. The glide, the comfort, the stability, everything.

CONS:



* While the stiffness is good for intermediate players, some advanced skaters might find the Vapor 3X a bit too flexible for their needs. If you're a powerful skater who demands maximum energy transfer, you might want to consider a stiffer boot from the Bauer Vapor Hyperlite or Supreme lines.
* I like my skates tied tight. And due to this, the top eyelets of these skates did not last much beyond the warranty period. 
* The hard plastic eyelet material is impossible to get tight around upper foot and ankles. The boot is very low volume and shallow so I had to swap out for Supremes. Toe box is great though.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

The 3x Pro is made of light materials and is super durable. It's a pro model, so it has top-level comfort with high-quality foam and an asymmetrical toe cap. The lower part of the skate is softer, while the upper part is stiffer, allowing for more support. The 2X Pro was such a hit, and it's kind of hard to follow up... but they made a decent skate with the 3X Pro.

# Bauer Vapor Hyperlite Hockey Skates


###  Product Description: 


The Bauer Vapor Hyperlite is a top-tier ice hockey skate designed for professional and aspiring professional players who prioritize agility and quickness. It features the revolutionary Powerfly holder, which flexes to enhance responsiveness during various skating movements, leading to faster acceleration and smoother transitions. The skate's lightweight design, achieved through the use of Aerolite foam, allows for increased mobility without sacrificing support or comfort. Within the Bauer lineup, the Vapor Hyperlite sits alongside the Supreme line, with the former emphasizing quickness and maneuverability, while the latter focuses on power and energy transfer. The Hyperlite represents the culmination of 25 years of skate innovation for Bauer, aiming to deliver the ultimate combination of speed and performance for elite players.

* Features Lock Fit Pro lining material for a secure and comfortable fit.

### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Super Tacks AS3 Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/super-tacks-as3/pro-stock/l251934) and the [True Pro Custom](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/pro-custom-4/l10558)

The AS3 Pro skates feature a one-piece monocoque boot construction with a tapered fit and CCM's MetaFrame Technology. The True Pro Custom skates prioritize a personalized fit, with custom-made skates based on individual foot measurements and a carbon fiber one-piece shell. Both options offer strong competition with their unique features, allowing players to choose based on their fit, performance, and customization preferences.


### Progression:

While the 2021 release marked the introduction of the Hyperlite with its core features, there's a possibility of encountering slight variations depending on the production year due to the potential for minor, unannounced refinements. 

**2021 (Initial Release):** The first iteration of the Vapor Hyperlite featured several key innovations, including:



* Lightweight one-piece boot construction for improved mobility and responsiveness.
* Fit System with three width options (Fit 1, 2, and 3) for a wider range of foot shapes.
* AeroLite foam tongue for reduced weight and comfort.
* Hyperflex outsole for efficient energy transfer.
* A choice between three blade options: Carbonlite, Pulse TI, and Pulse.

**2022/2023 minor updates**: Bauer introduced minor refinements to the Hyperlite in the 2022/2023 model. These involve:



* Material tweaks for weight optimization or durability enhancement.
* Padding adjustments for improved comfort or fit.
* Minor holder or blade updates based on player feedback or technological advancements.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are incredibly light!  The HyperFlex technology with the carbon composite boot makes a huge difference. They feel very responsive and agile on the ice, allowing for quicker starts, faster turns, and overall better maneuverability.
* They felt weird at first, but after two skates I’m realizing some benefits. My turns are sticking better and my stops are harder and more precise. I will never be great, but these skates are helping me be the best I can be.
* After baking and profiling, they are outstanding. I have about 10 skates on them and couldn't be happier. Out of the box comfort is great and forward flex is much better than my old skates.

CONS:



* I’m questioning it’s durability especially for the $1,000+ price tag. The tongue looks good but the red fabric has already torn in only a month. I just replaced his laces as they were cut in several places which appear to be a result of the plastic lace eyelets.
* The Vapor Hyperlite leans towards a stiffer flex profile for maximum energy transfer.  While great for powerful skaters, this stiffness is too much for a beginner like me.
* After 6 months of use, i’m forced to buy another set because the plastic lace system at the top of the skate was broken and rendered the skate useless.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

I've had multiple pairs of the HyperLites, both retail and custom-made. It's like the HyperLite took the best elements from all the top Vapor skates and made them even lighter and more comfortable. The Hyperlite is the lightest skate I've ever used. It's almost so light that you need to get adjusted to putting pressure differently using your blades because heavier skates do give you a little extra weight. 

They have a comfort liner within the skate and right along the ankle, which keeps your ankles from wearing down. It's very durable, too. I've used a pair for about three years, skating a lot, and they've held up perfectly. Also, it's a great travel skate. Everything is weight-based if you're flying somewhere, so the HyperLite is an excellent option.

### Bauer Vapor Hyperlite - Similar Models

While the Bauer Vapor Hyperlite is a newly designed, vastly improved stick with all of Bauer's newest features and game-winning technologies, the Vapor Hyperlite is actually quite similar to the Bauer Vapor Flylite. Let's take a look at them side by side:

#### General Overview

The Hyperlite and Flylite are both built for advanced players craving performance. Naturally, as sticks within Bauer's 'Vapor' product line, both sticks are designed with quick puck release and responsiveness in mind.

|Model|Price|Level of Play|Built For
|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:
Bauer Vapor Flylite (2019)|$$$|Advanced|Quick release and responsiveness
Bauer Vapor Hyperlite (2021)|$$$$$|Advanced|Lightweight responsiveness, enhanced durability, quick release shots

#### Hyperlite vs. Flylite - Spec Comparison

Side by side, the Hyperlite and Flylite may look similar, however it’s easily noticeable how substantially lighter the Hyperlite is compared to the Flylite. Additionally, with the Flylite originally released in 2019, the Hyperlite is a more modern stick having 3+ years of technological and design advancements over its predecessor. If you liked the Flylite you’ll love the hyperlite, and even if you aren’t totally familiar with either vapor sticks, you’ll still benefit from the wide array of game-winning technologies Bauer has carefully engineered into the Hyperlite.

It's important to note that while the 2X Pro is generally considered an upgrade over the 1X Pro, the specific choice between the two models will depend on individual player preferences, budget, and skating style.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are awesome. The DynaFlex system with the asymmetrical toe cap provides a super close, locked-in fit. The boot is stiff and responsive, perfect for powerful skating.
* The Lock Fit Pro liner is the most comfortable liner I've ever experienced in a skate. It feels like a custom mold of my foot, and there were no major break-in issues.
* The holder provides a solid platform for the blade, and the steel offers some of the best edge control I've ever had. Turns feel effortless.

CONS:



* These skates are definitely on the expensive side.
* With their high-performance focus, these skates are very stiff.  While that's great for powerful strides, it might be too much for beginner players. A stiffer boot can be harder to control and maneuver.
* I had a hard time finding these skates in my size.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

One of the things that makes the 2X Pro great is how light it feels. It's an extremely lightweight boot that is also really durable. It's a predecessor to what you see in the HyperLite these days. Very durable but also very light. So the 2X Pro is perfect for agility, cutting back and forth across the ice. And, it still has good power. At the professional level, some NHL players use the 2X Pro and have no issues. It’s a skate that will last you. Mine are still fine to play in even after years. It's a skate built to last.

Supreme 3S Pro

# Bauer Supreme 3S Pro Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Supreme 3S Pro hockey skates are designed for skilled players who want a skate that offers a good balance of comfort and performance. The skates feature a 3D Curv composite boot that is lightweight and thermoformable for a custom fit. The boot has a power-cut design that helps to improve ankle stability and power transfer. The skates also have a 13-foot radius blade that is designed for good edge control and maneuverability. Overall, the Bauer Supreme 3S Pro skates are a good option for hockey players who are looking for a comfortable and high-performance skate.

The Bauer Supreme line has been a popular choice for hockey players for many years, and the 3S Pro skates are the latest addition to the line. The skates are designed to be more comfortable and forgiving than previous models in the line, while still offering good performance. 


### Perfect skates for:

A skilled player who wants added comfort.


### Key features include:



* The Flex Tendon Guard enables an expanded range of motion with each stride
* A symmetrical taper provides support for straight-line speed
* Power Cut enhances foot stability with increased wrap
* Improved forward flex range of motion, facilitating smoother strides.
* The integrated outsole delivers heightened energy transfer for greater push-off power.
* Increased ice contact and seamless transitions from back to front, with a balance point towards the back for a more neutral take-off feel.


### Top competitors comparison: The [CCM Jetspeed FT2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft2-2/l11100) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956) 

The Bauer Supreme 3S Pro emphasizes power and stability with its anatomical fit and a versatile Tuuk LS Pulse TI blade, providing excellent energy transfer. On the other hand, the CCM Jetspeed FT2 focuses on agility and acceleration, boasting the RocketFrame Composite quarter package and SpeedBlade XS holder for quick turns and explosive strides. Meanwhile, the True TF9 combines lightweight construction with a thermoformable boot, ensuring a personalized fit and heightened responsiveness. 


### Progression:

The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro was a top-of-the-line skate in the Supreme line before the 3S Pro. Key improvements in the 3S Pro over the 2S Pro are:



* **Fit:** The Performance Fit System allows for a more personalized fit compared to the three-width option system in the 2S Pro.
* **Performance:** The 3S Pro features advancements in energy transfer, edge control, and overall responsiveness.
* **Weight:** The 3S Pro is slightly lighter due to material and construction refinements.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* Thanks to the Tuuk LS Pulse TI blade and the skate's rigid construction, I have exceptional power transfer. I can go really fast, and my strides feel really powerful.
* Super comfortable. The thermoformable Curv Composite boot is awesome. The skate molded to my foot over time, providing a snug fit with no pressure points.
* Best skates I have ever used. The fit is perfect no lace bite at all.

CONS:



* These skates are not wide enough. I thought the tight pressure in my toe would go away, but it's actually worse. I should have gone with custom skates.
* They feel heavy… almost clunky when I’m on the ice.
* These skates are narrower than I like, and I will likely have to have them punched out. I am unimpressed with the profiled blade; I like the black series blades better.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

Similar to the 3S, the Pro version has even more bells and whistles. It features the classic pro tongue with molded inserts for a customized fit. It still has the classic Supreme composite boot and higher-level comfort foam. The higher the level of skate, the more comfort in the foam, and usually, the less time it takes to break in. You still see the 3S Pro in the NHL, and they hold up well. You can also quickly change out the blades and keep going. Players use them for years without any kind of loss in performance in terms of power.

AS-V Pro

# CCM Tacks AS-V Pro Hockey Skates

### Product Description: 


The CCM Tacks AS-V Pro is a high-performance ice hockey skate designed for elite players who demand top-of-the-line features and performance. It boasts CCM's exclusive one-piece boot Power technology for a close fit and superior energy transfer, ensuring that every ounce of your effort is translated into powerful strides. The skate is built with a lightweight carbon composite construction for a balance of power and agility. Additional features include the Powerflex tendon for increased range of motion and the XS Metatomic tongue for protection and comfort.

The Tacks line has been a mainstay in CCM's hockey skate lineup for decades, known for its focus on stiffness and power for a powerful skating stride. The AS-V Pro continues this tradition while incorporating modern technologies for an overall lighter and more responsive skate.


### Perfect skates for:

A player who skates 4-5+ times per week and needs a comfortable skate with top-level performance benefits.


### Key features include:

* TotalDri Pro+ liner with polygiene for a high-performance moisture wicking 
* Interchangeable, custom fitting Tongue
* Molded CCM Ortholite Ultralite footbed with heel grip

* Memory foam with comfort padding
* Powerflex Tendon Guard with Carbon


### Top competitors comparison: the [Bauer Supreme 3S Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/supreme-3s-pro/l65212) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956)

The CCM Tacks skates are known for their advanced features and performance-driven design, offering excellent support and mobility on the ice. The Bauer Supreme 3S Pro skates focus on power and precision, with an asymmetrical quarter package design for improved ankle stability. The True TF9 skates prioritize a personalized fit and enhanced comfort, with True Hockey's custom-fit system based on individual foot measurements. Overall, players should consider their playing style, preferences, and fit when choosing between these high-quality options.


### Progression:

While there isn't a clearly defined predecessor with a single model name leading directly to the CCM AS-V Pro Hockey Skates (released in 2022), there's evidence suggesting it succeeds skates within the Tacks line focused on power and explosiveness. Updates include:



* The AS-V Pro’s one-piece Power boot, an upgrade from the AS3 Pro model, is engineered for explosiveness. 
* New Powerflex tendon guard with carbon, designed to improve your range of motion
* With the AS-V Pro, buyers can now choose which runner they’d like: CCM’s Step Blacksteel, Step V-Steel, or Step Steel 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* The one-piece boot and carbon construction are super stiff and really transfer energy into your strides. My slapshot has gotten noticeably harder since I switched to these skates. Plus, the Powerflex tendon allows for a full range of motion for powerful strides.
* By far the most comfortable skate/boot I've ever put my feet into...like warm melted butter.
* For a high-performance stiff boot, these skates are surprisingly lightweight and maneuverable. The Step Steel blades are sharp and give you excellent edge control. They helped me improve my agility on the ice.

CONS:



* These skates are definitely at the top end of the price range. They're a great skate, but you're paying for the premium features and performance.
* These are very stiff skates designed for powerful strides. They require a lot of leg strength to use effectively.
* The stock laces that come with the skates are just okay. I replaced them with a higher quality waxed lace for a better fit and feel. This seems like a minor detail on a high-end skate.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The AS-V Pro offers a close, professional fit, and a lot of power. I really love the quick acceleration. The number one thing with this skate is comfort. The padding really secures the ankle and foot while keeping the flexibilityity to turn and move. The tongue has a funky design, but it allows you to get a full range of motion without feeling insecure in the skate or like it's going to fall off or wobble.
