Vapor 3X

# Bauer Vapor 3X Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Vapor 3X hockey skates are designed for performance-oriented players who skate multiple times a week and seek a balance of comfort, performance, and value. They are a good option for players who have outgrown their beginner skates and are looking for a skate that can help them improve their game. The 3X features a lightweight composite boot that provides good support and thermoforming capabilities for a custom fit. It also has a 40-ounce felt tongue for comfort and protection, and a Lightspeed Edge holder with LS+ stainless steel blades for durability and performance. The Vapor line has been a staple in Bauer's lineup for many years, known for its focus on quickness, agility, and responsiveness. The 3X sits as a more affordable option within the Vapor line, offering many of the same features and technologies as the higher-end models at a more accessible price point.


### Perfect skates for:

Players who skate 2-3+ times per week  


### Key features include:



* Significant weight reduction of approximately 6.5%
* Better overall fit with the asymmetrical toe cap.
* Comfort and protection with the 40oz Felt tongue featuring a comfort lining.
* Hydrophobic liner which provides an excellent grip.
* Full composite boot for durability and performance.
* Junior Skate features Motion-Flex and a LS Balance runner with a 13ft radius, facilitating easier bending of the knees and promoting good skating strides for kids.


### 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 TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/super-tacks-as3/pro-stock/l251934) 

The CCM Super Tacks AS3 Pro skates offer competition with a focus on power and stability. These skates feature a one-piece MonoFrame boot for enhanced energy transfer and responsiveness, as well as CCM's SpeedBlade XS holder for quick blade changes. On the other hand, the True TF9 Hockey Skates prioritize a customized fit and comfort, utilizing True Hockey's custom-fit system based on individual foot measurements. The TF9 skates provide a tailored fit for optimal performance and feature True's SHIFT holder for improved turning radius. Players can choose between the Super Tacks AS3 Pro and the TF9 based on their preferences for power, fit, and overall performance.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates offer a significant jump in performance over entry-level skates. The Flex Composite boot provides a good balance of stiffness for powerful strides and some flex for maneuverability. They're perfect for skaters who want to improve their game without breaking the bank.
* The Vapor 3X fits true to size and feels comfortable right out of the box. The 40-ounce felt tongue with comfort lining offers good support and reduces pressure points. The asymmetrical toe cap also seems to help with a snug fit around the toes.
* Skate has a good amount of higher end features and has good interior support. We upgraded the foot beds to super feet since the include ones are typical unsupported foam. All in all a very good middle of the line skate for not a lot of money.

CONS:



* Skilled players who are used to top-of-the-line skates might find the Vapor 3X a bit too flexible. The flex profile is geared towards balance and maneuverability, which can sacrifice some energy transfer for powerful strides. 
* Blade holder cracked after a deflection during a game, and the material of the boot is already falling apart. Had these for about 4 months before having to buy Hyperlites because of the poor construction.
* The Vapor 3X doesn't offer any heat-molding capabilities and while the liner is comfortable…I have some wicked pressure points and am disappointed with the customization options.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

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.

Supreme 3S

# Bauer Supreme 3S Hockey Skates


###  Product Description:


The Bauer Supreme 3S hockey skates are designed for skilled players seeking a comfortable and powerful stride. They feature a lightweight and flexible 3D-lasted flex composite boot that provides support and stability, while the Power Profile blade helps players maintain speed and explosiveness. Additionally, the Supreme 3S comes in three different fit options to accommodate players with varying foot shapes.

Within the Bauer lineup, the Supreme 3S falls into the "performance" category, which sits between the top-of-the-line "Vapor" skates designed for elite players and the "Nexus" skates geared towards recreational players. This positioning reflects the 3S's blend of features that cater to both performance and comfort.


### Perfect skates for:

the skilled player who wants added comfort


### Key features include:



* Superior support with the 3D lasted flex composite quarter package.
* Hydrophobic microfiber lining.
* Enhanced comfort with Aerofoam ankle padding.
* 48oz felt tongue featuring an exposed Inj metatarsal guard.
* Personalized comfort with the For Fit+ footbed featuring memory foam.
* Pro TPU outsole (TPU Intermediate Only).
* Quick and easy blade changes with the TUUK Lightspeed edge holder.
* Powerful strides with the LS1 Power profile runner.
* Regular toe cap for added durability.


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Tacks 9090](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/tacks-9090-2/l10103) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956) 

The CCM Tacks 9090 skates offer an anatomical fit with a one-piece boot construction that enhances stability and responsiveness. They also provide custom memory foam ankle padding for added comfort and a lightweight composite outsole for optimal energy transfer. On the other hand, the True TF9 skates prioritize a customizable fit, as they are handcrafted to each player's unique foot measurements for a personalized experience. With a carbon fiber one-piece construction, the TF9 skates offer lightweight durability and excellent power transfer. Both alternatives provide players with high-quality options comparable to the Bauer Supreme 3S, allowing them to choose based on individual preferences and requirements.


### Progression:

The Bauer Supreme 3S hockey skate, released in 2020, currently doesn't have a direct predecessor within the Supreme line with a distinct model name like "1S" or "2S." Bauer sometimes introduces minor improvements to existing skate lines throughout their production cycle without necessarily introducing a new numbered model.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* The 3D-lasted flex composite boot provides a good amount of stiffness while still maintaining some flexibility for maneuverability. The skate feels very responsive.
* The fit on the Supreme 3S is a major improvement over my previous skates. The Performance Fit System with the hydrophobic microfiber liner feels super comfortable. The break-in period was reasonable, and there weren't any major pressure points.
* I had no issues with them. There was no lace bite like in my Vapors, and there was no rubbing in the toe cap. They literally feel like slippers on my feet.

CONS:



* This skate is not meant for a wide foot! After 45 minutes, I wanted to get off the ice; it took me up to 2 hours to walk normally. They put so much pressure on the outside of my feet. Super uncomfortable. 
* The Supreme 3S offers some heat-molding capabilities, but only on certain areas of the liner.
* My son is having a hard time with these skates. They are not comfortable even after 2 sessions of molding and spending an extra $40 on special inserts. 


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The 3S will give you a lot of power, more power than you would get with some of the older models. It features the Pro TPU outsole, which has additional stiffness in the lower portion of the skate, delivering more speed. It's lightweight, and the upgraded foam also adds comfort. The 3S has the stainless steal runner and the trigger release system, allowing you to quickly swap out the blade. It's a skate you could play multiple seasons with.

### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Jetspeed FT460](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft460-2/l61921) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

The CCM Jetspeed FT460 offers a similar level of performance and features as the Bauer Supreme 140 skates. Both skates have a focus on speed and agility, with lightweight materials and a responsive feel. The Jetspeed FT460 skates have a slightly higher overall boot height, providing added support and stability, while the Bauer Supreme 140 skates have a lower-profile design. On the other hand, the True TF7 Hockey Skates bring a different approach with a customizable and anatomical fit. The True skates utilize a heat-moldable technology to provide a personalized fit that caters to the unique shape of the player's foot. 


### Progression:

While there is not a specific progression for the 140, it sits at the starting point within the Bauer Supreme range of skates designed for comfort and a good fit for beginner players. The Supreme line is known for its focus on comfort and a good fit. Bauer offers various models within the Supreme line catering to different skill levels. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS:**



* Just started playing hockey and these skates are perfect for me. They're comfortable, supportive, and affordable. I haven't had any problems learning to skate in them, and they seem pretty durable so far.
* I have wider feet and these skates fit great.  The ankle support feels good and they don't pinch anywhere. The break-in period wasn't too bad either..
* Sure, these aren't top-of-the-line skates, but for a recreational player like me, they work just fine. They offer decent ankle support and a good blade for basic skating and maneuvering.

**CONS:**



* These skates felt a bit too soft for me. I couldn't get a very powerful push-off and I felt like I was losing some energy transfer. If you're a more powerful skater, you might want to look for a stiffer boot.
* Once I started working on more advanced skating drills, I felt like these skates didn't offer enough ankle support.  For basic skating, they're fine.
* The quality of the materials seems a bit on the cheaper side. I'm worried about how long these skates will last, especially with regular use.


### Expert notes ([Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

There is no quick-release mechanism for the metal runners or blades, which makes the 140 a good skate for beginners or skaters who skate less often and don't want to pay too much but still want a quality skate. The 140 will last only a few years, but it’s an excellent introductory skate in the Supreme line, allowing you to get a feel for it. Do you like the Supreme? Do you like a bit of extra power or do you want to try something different?

Vapor X60

### Product Description 

Built for quickness and speed the Vapor X60s are constructed with Ultra-Light tech mesh in a thermoformed Carbon Composite X-rib pattern, while new lightweight Dual Density+ foam provides heat-moldable support and comfort. The Hydra Max liner is moisture-wicking and abrasion-resistant to keep feet cool and dry without slippage or wear and tear near the ankle. The lightweight Bauer Tuuk holds the LS2 Stainless Steel blade and allows for maximum transfer of energy for powerful, quick strides. The flexible Form Fit 2 molded tongue helps to protect against lace-bite and includes a high-density metatarsal guard for added protection.


### Expert Notes

If you are familiar with Bauer’s Vapor line of skates, or if you have worn any Vapor skates before, you will be happy with the Vapor X60’s. What’s even better nowadays is the price of X60 skates; since they’re no longer a brand new model of skates, you can find exceptional deals on lightly used (and new) X60s. Many players who have worn them in the past will tell you that these wheels perform just as well as newer Vapor models such as the 1X. The liner and fit of the X60 boot is very comfortable, and will fit best with a more narrow foot and ankle structure compared to a wider foot.
