Junior New Bauer Vapor 3X Hockey Skates Extra Wide Width Size 3.5

Going hand in hand with the boot construction, Bauer is using a classic pro stock 40oz felt tongue. This design provides players with improved forward flex meaning more range of motion during skating strides. This tongue also excels in comfort and protection from lace bite, blocked shots, and stick checks. Staying true to the asymmetrical concept seen within the Vapor line, the Vapor 3X Hockey Skates take it a step further with the introduction of their new asymmetrical toe cap and box! With feedback using the profile of player scans, Bauer has optimized this new design to enhance your push-off power, helping increase top-end speed! Compared to its predecessor, this new toe cap and box is a touch shorter in height and longer in length. Moving to the interior of the Vapor 3X Hockey Skates, they feature Bauer’s Hydrophobic comfort edge liner. This liner is specifically designed to keep players feet dry and comfortable, as well as locked into place during gameplay thanks to the form fit+ footbed. Paired with the Hydrophobic liner are the memory foam pads within the ankles of the boot. This all-new foam delivers good thermoformability, enhanced comfort and durability, and an improved fit! The lower half of the Vapor 3X Hockey Skates feature Bauer’s tried-and-true LightSpeed EDGE holders. Paired with the LightSpeed EDGE holders are the LS balance stainless steel runners! If you are a performance-level player looking for a lightweight skate with great protection, look no further than the all new Bauer Vapor 3X Ice Hockey Skates!

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.
