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.

### 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 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.

Supreme 140

## Bauer Supreme 140 Hockey Skates


### Product Description:


The Bauer Supreme 140 hockey skates offer an excellent entry point into the iconic Supreme line, known for its anatomical fit and close-to-the-foot feel. These skates are ideal for recreational players or those just starting in the sport, providing a comfortable fit with a premium nylon construction and a microfiber liner. The injected TPR outsole and TUUK Lightspeed Pro holder with stainless steel runners offer durability and reliable performance. Building upon Bauer's legacy of innovation, the Supreme 140 delivers quality and value to help new players discover the joy of hockey.


### Perfect skates for:

young or new hockey enthusiasts and recreational skaters


### Key features include:



* Constructed with premium nylon material for exceptional quality.
* A microfiber liner for a luxurious feel.
* A patented integrated anatomical heel design for improved ankle support.
* Anatomical felt tongue to maximize comfort.
* Footbed designed with shaped EVA for enhanced support and comfort.


### 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 X3.7

# Bauer Vapor X3.7 Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Vapor X3.7 hockey skates are a good option for recreational and intermediate players who prioritize a balance between comfort and performance. They are designed to be comfortable and lightweight, with a 3D injected composite boot that is 4% lighter than comparable models. The skate also features a microfiber liner and memory foam ankle padding for added comfort. Additionally, the Bauer Vapor X3.7 has a traditional fit that is designed for players with narrower feet.

The Bauer Vapor X3.7 falls into the Bauer Vapor line, which was established in 2010 alongside the Supreme line. The Vapor line is known for its focus on performance and weight reduction, while the Supreme line emphasizes comfort and a wider fit. The X3.7 is a mid-tier offering within the Vapor line, making it a good option for players who are looking for a skate that offers good performance without breaking the bank.

The competitive weekly player


### Key features include:



* Experience optimal comfort with the soft microfiber liner.
* Enhanced cushioning and prevention of rubbing with memory foam ankle padding.
* Support and flexibility provided by the 3D injected composite material.
* Lightweight design, being 4% lighter than any comparable model.
* Excellent support and feel with the Form Fit footbed.


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Tacks 9060](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/tacks-9060-2/l10518) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

The CCM Tacks 9060 skates offer a balance of performance and value. They incorporate a synthetic composite quarter package for lightweight support and a durable construction. These skates also feature a two-piece tongue for improved comfort and a Speedblade Stainless steel holder for solid energy transfer. On the other hand, the True TF7 skates prioritize comfort and customization with True Hockey's custom-fit system based on individual foot measurements. These skates provide a personalized fit for optimal performance and include True's SHIFT holder for better turning radius. 


### Progression:

The Vapor X3.7 is an upgrade from the 2019 Vapor X2.7 model. The X3.7 uses digital printing technology to amplify the visual richness of the skate. Along with an updated skate liner from the X2.7 model to a microfiber liner with memory foam padding, the X3.7 model extends the liner material though the inside of the 40 oz two-piece tongue. Bauer also made the X3.7 4% lighter.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* 
* These skates are a perfect option for recreational players or those new to hockey. They're very comfortable, with a good amount of ankle support. The liner is soft and keeps my feet warm. 
* I was impressed by how lightweight these skates are. They feel much more agile than my old pair. The memory foam ankle padding is super comfortable and there's no break-in period needed.
* Holds up well for weekly play. I've been using these skates for a few months now, playing 1-2 times a week, and they're holding up great. The LS1 blades are durable and haven't needed sharpening yet.

CONS:



* These skates are definitely not for competitive players who need top-of-the-line performance. They lack some of the stiffness and responsiveness of more expensive models.
* Not the best for wide feet. I found the fit to be a bit narrow, especially in the toe box. If you have wider feet, these might not be the most comfortable option.
* The tongue on these skates is a little on the thin side. I would have preferred a thicker tongue for more protection against lace bite.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

The X3.7 is a middle-tier skate. It's the skate a player would use after a introductory level skate or a lower level like x 2.7. This skate is flexible and agile and has a good amount of comfort, enough that it will last you quite a while as long as you're not skating seven times a week. The X3.7 has a quick release for exchanging blades, so it's meant to be worn for quite a while, longer than the lifespan of a single blade.
