Vapor Hyperlite

# 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.


### Perfect skates for:

The elite players who skate 4-5+ times per week


### Key features include:



* Crafted with 3D Lasted Carbon Curv Composite for durability and support.
* Features Lock Fit Pro lining material for a secure and comfortable fit.
* Aerofoam Pro padding provides optimal cushioning and support around the ankle.
* AeroLite construction with Dual Injected Insert for lightweight comfort
* Equipped with Lock Fit footbed for stability and comfort.
* Anaform upper allows for customized fit and enhanced comfort.
* HyperFLex sole for flexibility and agility on the ice.
* TUUK Lightspeed Edge holder facilitates quick and effortless blade changes.


### 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.

### Top competitors comparison: the [Supreme 2S Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/supreme-2s-pro/l7798) and the [CCM JetSpeed FT2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft2-2/l11100)

The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro skates offer a comparable level of customization as the True Pro Custom skates, with a focus on power and stability. They feature a lightweight, anatomically fitting design for maximum power transfer and a customizable fit with their patented Flex Edge technology. The Supreme 2S Pro skates also utilize the Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder for quick blade changes. In comparison, the CCM JetSpeed FT2 skates provide a customizable fit with a one-piece boot design for improved responsiveness and control. They feature an ultra-lightweight construction and a Rocketframe composite material for enhanced stiffness and agility. The JetSpeed FT2 skates also feature the Speedblade Xchange system for easy and quick blade changes.


### Progression:

True Hockey, a relatively younger brand compared to established giants like Bauer, has offered a more streamlined approach to its skate lineup, particularly with its flagship True Pro Custom skate. This translates to fewer model variations and a clearer focus on refinement over major overhauls. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are like an extension of my feet. The custom-fitting process means almost no break-in period. The comfort level is incredible, and I can skate for hours without any pain or discomfort.
* The boot is super responsive and allows for maximum energy transfer in my strides.  The heat-moldable option lets you customize the flex profile to your liking, which is a game-changer.
* The skates feel incredibly lightweight, which helps with agility and maneuverability.  Despite the lightweight build, the materials seem very durable. I've been using them for a season now, and they're still holding up great.

CONS:



* These skates are definitely an investment. The custom fitting process adds to the cost, which might not be feasible for everyone.
* The custom fitting process takes time, and there can be a waitlist to get your skates made.  If you need skates right away, this might not be the best option.
* While the custom fitting is great in theory, it might not be perfect for everyone.  Some users with very complex foot shapes might still experience some fit issues.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

The True Pro Custom are the skates I currently use. They're fantastic. The durability on these is just otherworldly. I've used my Pro Customs for over two years, and they still hold up great. In being custom, a lot of the holders (what keeps the steel in) can be swapped out. They will feature the quick-release Bauer version, or you'll see these skates with the quick-release CCM version. When you're looking for these skates, you can pretty much find whatever you desire.

Bauer Vapor APX skates are built for speed with their lightweight yet strong design that does not sacrifice comfort or hinder performance. The X-Rib boot design provides support and stability for quicker turns and easier acceleration while the Alice Carbon Composite exterior provides protection and offers a heat-moldable fit. The Form-Fit 3 tongue with lace bite protection protects the metatarsal while the Ultra lightweight vented Carbon Composite outsole provides responsive foot movement.

The Tuuk LightSpeed 2 holders are redesigned with a reduced weight and the Tuuk LS Fusion runners deliver power and speed with every stride.

### Expert Notes

The APX skate is the first in the Vapor family to offer X-Rib boot construction, which made these  the lightest vapor skates made when they were first released. Bauer took light to a new level by offering TUUK LS Fusion steel that is 27 percent lighter than competitor materials, and makes this skate feel extra fast when you’re out their trying to wheel past d-men. The molded tongue features an external metatarsal guard to help protect you against any lace bite. Elite players can confirm that this skate is designed to mix speed with comfort to help take your game to new heights.
