Vapor 2X

# Bauer Vapor 2X Hockey Skates


###  Product Description: 


The Bauer Vapor 2X hockey skates are a high-end offering designed for competitive players who skate frequently and prioritize a low-profile fit. They boast features like a lightweight and responsive Curv composite boot for better agility, an asymmetrical toe cap for increased push power, and a comfortable Recoil tongue for improved flexion. These skates are positioned as a successor to the previous Vapor models, aiming to deliver the best fit, comfort, and agility within the Bauer Vapor lineup.


### Perfect skates for:

want a top-end fit with elite features


### Key features include:

- Low-profile design.

- High performance with the ACCELFLEX System.

- Improved comfort and fit with Aero Foam+ padding.

- High-end durability with the Lock-Fit liner.

- Locked in with the Tuuk Lightspeed EDGE holder.

- Long-lasting edge life with the Tuuk LS3 runner. (Junior skates under size 4 come with LS2.)


### Top competitors comparison: The [CCM Jetspeed FT2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft2-2/l11100) and [True Pro Custom](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/pro-custom-4/l10558) Hockey Skates

The Jetspeed FT2 skates offer an anatomical fit with a one-piece boot construction and a customizable fit through heat molding. They also feature the Speedblade XS holder system for quick blade changes. On the other hand, the True Pro Custom skates focus on customizability, with handcrafted construction tailored to the player's specific foot measurements. They offer premium materials and the ability to choose blade options. Both alternatives provide similar levels of performance and customization to the Bauer Vapor 2X.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* Two thumbs up for 2X’s. 5 years on my last set of skates and it was time for an upgrade, and the 2X’s do not disappoint. Very light, comfortable, and fast. 
* The fit on these skates is excellent. The new anatomical design with a wider toe box feels more comfortable than previous Vapor models, especially for players with wider feet. 
* The boot on these skates feels lighter than expected. The responsiveness of the boot is also great, allowing for good energy transfer in my strides.

CONS:



* While the stiffness is good for intermediate players, some advanced skaters might find the Vapor 2X a bit too flexible.
* I question the longevity of the liner. While they seem fine for now, I worry about how they'll hold up with long-term use.
* The Vapor 2X offers some limited heat-molding capabilities, but not to the same extent as some higher-end Bauer skates. 


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The Vapor 2X is just one notch down in durability and comfort from the 2X Pro. You might not notice as much comfort right off the bat, but overall, the fit and feel are pretty much the same. The 2X will still have the asymmetrical toe cap, ankle padding, and three-piece felt tongue. If you gave someone a new pair of 2X Pros and the 2Xs, blindfolded them, and asked them to figure out which was which, they would have difficulty distinguishing between the two.
