# 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 M50 Pro

Supreme 2S Pro

# Bauer Supreme 2S Pro Hockey Skates


### Product Description:

The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro Hockey Skates deliver elite performance for players seeking maximum power and acceleration. Featuring a stiff, 3D-lasted carbon Curv composite boot for exceptional energy transfer and support, the skate promotes an anatomical, close-to-the-foot fit ideal for powerful strides. The Reflex Pro tongue and lacing system create a customizable, locked-in feel. This model builds upon the legacy of the Supreme line, known for its powerful feel on the ice, continuing Bauer's commitment to providing cutting-edge technology to help players elevate their game.


### Perfect skates for:

An elite level skater


### Key features include:

* Custom comfort and forward flex with the Reflex Pro tongue.
* Personalized fit with the Thermoformable Speed Plate 2.0.
* Quick steel replacement with the Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder.
* Enhanced power with a carbon composite outsole.


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Jetspeed FT4](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft4-7/l174346) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956)

The Jetspeed FT4 Pro skates offer a lightweight, one-piece Rocketframe composite boot and the SpeedBlade XS holder system for quick blade changes. The True TF9 skates provide a customizable fit with heat moldable technology, and feature a carbon fiber-built boot for responsiveness. Both alternatives offer competitive features in terms of performance and technology, allowing players to choose based on their preferences for fit, customization options, and design.


### Progression:

The [Bauer Supreme 2S Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/supreme-2s-pro/l7798) hockey skate was released in 2018 as the successor to the Bauer Supreme 1S skate. While the overall design remained similar, the 2S Pro introduced several improvements:



* Lock-Fit Pro liner 
* Custom lacing system
* Lighter memory foam ankle pads
* Upgraded to the Tuuk LS5 carbon-coated stainless steel runner


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS: 




* These skates are amazing! The boot is super stiff and supportive, which gives me a ton of power in my strides. My skating feels much faster and more efficient.
* The Lock Fit Pro liner is incredibly comfortable and provides a great heel lock. The thermoformable features allow for a truly custom fit, which makes a huge difference for my skating. No more worrying about blisters or pressure points.
* The LS5 steel blades are a game-changer. They offer some of the best edge control I've ever experienced. Turns feel effortless and I can really dig into the ice for powerful pushes.

CONS:



* The break-in period for these skates was brutal. It took a good few weeks before they started to feel comfortable. Be prepared to put in some extra ice time if you get these.
* These skates are definitely on the expensive side. While they perform great, the price might not be realistic for everyone.
* I had a hard time finding these skates in my size. It seems like they sell out quickly and aren't always readily available. 


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The 2S Pro is a higher-end skate built for professional or competitive play. It has a lot of extra comfort and will be lighter with all the space-age technology materials. The 2S Pro has excellent power and control, so you can repeatedly explode your speed. This skate does have a quick-release mechanism to switch out your blades easily. The Supreme line has a more anatomical kind of snug fit. If you want a skate with all the bells and whistles, the 2S Pro is for you.

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.

Supreme S37

# Bauer Supreme S37 Hockey Skates


###  Product Description: 


The Bauer Supreme S37 Senior Hockey Skate is designed for recreational and performance-level players seeking a balance of comfort and performance. It features a fiber composite boot that provides flexibility for good power transfer and a wider range of motion, making it easier to use for new skaters. Comfort is enhanced by lightweight memory foam ankle padding and a 40-ounce felt tongue with a mesh metatarsal guard. The skate also boasts a TUUK Lightspeed Edge holder for easy swapping of blades. While not the top-of-the-line model in Bauer's Supreme line, the S37 offers good value for players looking for a comfortable and supportive skate.


### Perfect skates for:

skilled player looking for value and comfort


### Key features include:



* Constructed with a fiber composite material for durability and support.
* Provides a comfortable and smooth microfiber liner 
* Lightweight memory foam ankle padding
* 40oz felt tongue with mesh metatarsal guard:
* The molded EVA footbed provides a comfortable and supportive base
* TPU Outsole offers stability and durability.
* TUUK Lightspeed Edge Holder allows for quick and easy blade changes.
* Stainless Steel Runner


### Top competitors comparison: [CCM Jetspeed FT480](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft480/l62608) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

The Jetspeed FT480 skates feature a tapered fit and a one-piece boot construction, along with CCM's Rocket Frame composite material and Speedblade XS holder for improved performance. The True TF7 skates prioritize a customizable fit, with options for individual foot measurements and a two-piece thermoformable tongue. Both options provide strong competition with their unique features.


### Progression:

The Bauer Supreme S37 hockey skate, unlike some higher-end models in the Supreme line, doesn't have a clear-cut predecessor with a distinct model name. Here’s why: 



* The Supreme line generally caters to players who prioritize power and control for their skating style. The S37 falls within a category of performance-oriented skates positioned below the top-of-the-line models like the 3S Pro.
* Bauer makes minor adjustments and refinements to existing lines throughout their production cycle. These tweaks often involve material changes, padding updates, or minor holder/blade variations.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are perfect for players who are new to hockey or looking to upgrade from a recreational model. The fiber composite boot offers a good balance of stiffness and flex, allowing for some power transfer in strides.
* The Supreme S37 fits true to size and feels comfortable right out of the box. The memory foam ankle padding provides good support, and the liner is surprisingly comfortable. The break-in period was minimal.
* These skates seem well-made for the price. The materials feel solid, and there haven't been any major complaints about durability online.

CONS:



* I was disappointed that they were not heat moldable even though I was told they were. Baking accelerated the break in period, but only made the boot wider by a slight amount.
* After a bake and a sharpen I’ve started to like them. I can tell it’s a quality skate, but tight mid-foot for me.
* The stock stainless steel blade on the S37 isn't the best quality. It doesnt hold an edge for as long as some higher-end options. However, replacing the blade with a sharper steel is always an option.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

The S37 features an anatomical fit for a lot of power. It won't have the Space Age memory foam designed by NASA or something, but it will be comfortable. It may feel heavier than the top lightweight pro model, but it's more than enough to last quite a while. It's still a strong skate. And that's common with a lot of skates these days. There's not a ton of difference between the mid-end and the top-end skates. What really separates them is durability and the exact type of comfort features.

Vapor X2.7

# Bauer Vapor X2.7 Hockey Skates


### Product Description:


The Bauer Vapor X2.7 is a hockey skate designed for competitive players who prioritize comfort and performance. It features a one-piece 3D Polycarb quarter for a snug fit and flexibility, while the Comfort Flex system enhances the overall feel. Memory foam ankle padding and a microfiber liner provide additional comfort, and the Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder allows for easy blade swapping. It falls within the Bauer Vapor line, known for its low-volume fit and responsiveness, targeting players who value agility and a quick release on their strides. While not the top-of-the-line model, the X2.7 offers a good balance of features and affordability for competitive play.


### Perfect skates for: 

competitive players


### Key features include:

- Enhanced fit with the low-profile design.

- Improved feel with the COMFORTFLEX System.

- More flexibility with the one-piece 3D Polycarb quarter.

- Memory foam padding provides added support.

- Comfort with the microfiber liner.

- Tuuk Lightspeed EDGE holder for improved striding


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM JetSpeed FT470](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft470/l59164) and the [Bauer Supreme S27](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/supreme-s27-2/l10374)

The CCM JetSpeed FT470 offers a similar level of comfort and performance to the Bauer Vapor X2.7, making it a great choice for recreational skaters.  However, some users report that the Bauer might have a slightly stiffer flex for better power transfer in your stride. The Bauer Supreme S27 is designed for a different playing style. The Supreme S27 prioritizes power over agility, with a stiffer boot that maximizes energy transfer for powerful strides. This can make it slightly less forgiving than the Vapor X2.7, especially for quick turns.


### Progression:

The Vapor skate line is typically updated every other year. Not every new skate model will feature drastic changes. Bauer often balances introducing new features with refining existing ones, ensuring their skates remain competitive and cater to the evolving needs of players.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are perfect for recreational players or those just starting out in hockey. The comfort level is good, and they provide enough support for basic skating and learning proper technique. 
* The microfiber liner is surprisingly comfortable, and the memory foam ankle padding provides good support. The option to heat-mold the skates is a nice bonus, especially for players with wider feet.
* I've used Bauer Vapors in the past, and this X2.7 model feels great. Love the memory foam padding for extra comfort when I’ve been skating all day. 

CONS:



* To me, these skates feel like they are on the softer side. While that might be good for beginners, it's not ideal for powerful skaters who need a stiffer boot for maximum energy transfer.  
* The liner doesnt seem partifiualy durable.  I'm a little worried about how they'll hold up with long-term use, especially because I’m a frequent skater.
* The break-in period for these skates wasn't the shortest. It took a few sessions for them to feel truly comfortable.  If you're impatient, this might be a bit of a drawback.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

I've had these many times; it's a mid-tier, performance-level skate where you can undoubtedly play a few seasons (probably not in the NHL), but in University, high-level competitive play. The X2.7 has a quick-release holder, and the Vapor fit will be a bit lower, snug, and flexible. The top-level pro-Vapors might last you three years, whereas these might last one and a half two years, but it's the same kind of comfort. It just comes down to your abilities.

### 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.

Supreme M3

# Bauer Supreme M3 Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Supreme M3 hockey skates are designed for recreational and competitive players. They feature a Digi Comp quarter for a lightweight and supportive fit, a memory foam ankle pad for comfort, and a traditional flex profile for a good range of motion. The liner is made of a moisture-wicking material to help keep feet dry, and the LS Edge holder makes it easy to swap out blades. The Bauer Supreme M3 skates are a good mid-range option for players who are looking for a skate that offers good value for the money.

The Bauer Supreme line has been around for many years, and the M3 is a continuation of the brand's commitment to providing high-quality skates for players of all levels. The Supreme line is known for its focus on comfort and performance, and the M3 skates live up to that reputation.


### Perfect skates for:

The weekly player who prioritzes comfort at an excellent value. 


### Key features include:



* Digi Comp quarter enhances comfort and reduces weight
* Traditional facing assists players in flexing over their toes while providing wrap on top of the foot for sustained comfort.
* 40oz Felt Tongue provides players with increased comfort and ease of flex.
* LS Edge holder offers reliability and enables quick changes of steel when needed.
* Symmetrical toe cap enhances comfort by providing slightly more room at the front of the boot.


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Jetspeed FT470](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft470/l59164) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

All three skates target developing players seeking a balance of affordability, comfort, and performance. The CCM JetSpeed FT470 leans towards a stiffer flex profile for more powerful strides, while the True TF7 emphasizes a slightly lighter weight construction and a focus on heat-moldability for a more customized fit. Ultimately, the best choice depends on whether the player prioritizes power (CCM) or a comfortable, personalized fit (True).


### Progression:

Bauer prioritizes introducing major advancements in their top-of-the-line models (like the Vapor 3X Pro or Supreme 3X Pro) and does not explicitly advertise minor refinements made to mid-range skates like the M3.

Upgrades to the M3 line include subtle tweaks to materials, padding, and specific components including the upgraded 40oz felt tongue with a mesh metatarsal guard for protection and comfort. Bauer also included a sublimated hydrophobic microfiber liner with memory foam padding and the quick release trigger allowing players to remove damaged or broken steel in seconds. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are good for recreational players who are looking for a good balance of performance and comfort without going overboard on the price. They're much lighter than expected for the price point, making for easier strides. 
* The M3 skates come with a slightly heat-moldable liner that allows for a more customized fit around the ankle. This helped eliminate some pressure points I had with my old skates. They also provide decent arch support.
* These skates didn't require a long break-in period like some higher-end models. The memory foam ankle padding feels great and there were no real comfort issues out of the box. 

CONS:



* The M3 skates don't offer the same level of stiffness as some top-of-the-line models. This might be a drawback for players who are looking for maximum power transfer in their strides.
* The fit of these skates leans a bit on the narrow side. If you have wider feet, you might want to consider tanother model with a wider width option.
* Only complaint is the steel sucks. I bought some pulse runners and they are great, but if I would have known that I had to throw another $110 for decent steel, I would have just bought the m4s.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The M3 is a low to mid-level skate. It's a bit more expensive than the introductory ones, but it has the quick-release steel changer. So players can use the M3 for a lot longer than if there was no way to change the blades efficiently. It has a lot of comfort features like a thick padded tongue. It's so focused on comfort and this keeps players happier. Because when you're starting out, comfort is a bit more important. The reason I've seen people STOP using this skate is just because of the durability aspect. As people become more comfortable with their game or their skating, and they start doing different cuts and using their skates differently, the wear will happen in different areas and degrade this skate faster than higher-end models.

Super Tacks AS3 Pro

# CCM AS3 Pro Hockey Skates


###  Product Description: 


The CCM Super Tacks AS3 Pro hockey skates are designed for powerful strides and improved performance on the ice. They are considered mid-tier skates, offering a good balance between features and affordability. They are known for their lightweight build, designed for a powerful stride, and moisture-wicking liner that keeps feet comfortable and dry. 

These skates fit into CCM's long history of hockey innovation. The company has been around for over 100 years and has been a major player in the hockey equipment market since the beginning. The Super Tacks line is known for its focus on performance and speed, and the AS3 Pro is the top-of-the-line offering in the Tacks lineup.


### Perfect skates for:

An elite player looking for a high-performing anatomical medium-fit skate


### Key features include:



* One-piece RFM MonoFrame for a direct energy transfer
* Snug, 360-degree fit around the forefoot, heel, and ankle for optimal comfort.
* Super lightweight, stiff, and thermo-formable core 
* Moisture-wicking liner keeps feet dry and skates light

* 7mm replaceable asymmetrical tongue for comfort and advanced lace-bite protection.
* Lightweight composite midsole
* Speedblade XS blade holder makes it easy to change out blades
* XS Stainless steel runner for long-term performance


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Super Tacks AS3 Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/search?q=CCM%20Super%20Tacks%20AS3%20Pro) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956) 

The CCM Super Tacks AS3 Pro skates are highly regarded for their premium quality materials and performance. On the other hand, the True TF9 skates offer a customizable fit tailored to individual foot measurements, providing a more personalized experience for players. Both alternatives present strong competition to the CCM AS3 Pro skates, offering unique features and benefits that cater to different player preferences and needs.


### Progression:

CCM introduces minor improvements to existing skate lines throughout their production cycle without necessarily introducing a new numbered model. However, there are CCM Super Tacks skates that came before the AS3 Pro, which offer some insight into the general progression:

**CCM Super Tacks AS1 (2017-2020)**: This skate was known for its stiff flex profile and focus on powerful strides. It featured a one-piece SpeedBlade black CCM XS blade and a Speedblade XS holder. 
 
**CCM Super Tacks AS-V (2019-2021):** This model offered a slightly more forgiving flex compared to the AS1 while maintaining a focus on powerful skating. It retained the one-piece SpeedBlade black CCM XS blade and Speedblade XS holder. 
 
Key features introduced in the AS3 Pro compared to its predecessors:



* **One-piece boot construction:** This aims to provide a closer fit and potentially improve energy transfer compared to the two-piece construction in the AS1 and AS-V.
* **XS Tongue system**: This allows for customization of tongue thickness for individual preferences and comfort levels, which wasn't present in the AS1 and AS-V.
* **SpeedBlade XS holder with Power profile:** This might offer better edge control and power transfer compared to the standard XS holder used in the AS1 and AS-V.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are awesome. I feel tons of power in my strides, and the edge control is incredible. My skating feels effortless. A great choice for advanced players.
* I purchased these after skating in Bauer Supremes for the last four years. They are head and shoulders above the Supremes in terms of comfort and feel on the ice. The one-piece boot is phenomenal.
* Despite the stiffness for power transfer, the AS3 Pro feels surprisingly lightweight. This allows for quick starts, good agility, and overall responsiveness on the ice.

CONS:



* These skates are definitely on the expensive side.  While the performance is undeniable, the price tag might not be realistic for everyone.
* These skates are quite stiff out of the box and possibly too stiff for some skaters.
* These skates need a longer break-in period than expected. It took them a few weeks of use before they felt truly comfortable.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The AS3 Pro is a carbon composite one-piece boot. It's a higher-level skate with a premium liner for moisture wicking, an interchangeable, custom-fitting tongue, and an improved blade lock system that secures the blade to the holder. Swapping out blades is super easy. The AS3 will have a more anatomical, snug fit. It has good heel locking, giving you reall good acceleration and power.

### 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.

Super Tacks AS1

### Product Description 

Super Tacks AS1 skates are made for professional and elite level players, and are at the top of the CCM Tacks line. The one-piece heat moldable boot is constructed with a layered Premier Carbon Composite and MonoFrame 360 One-Piece Technology that improves durability and transfers power more efficiently for stronger strides. The boot is slightly taller for increased ankle support and the re-designed toe cap adds comfortable protection. The interior TotalDri Pro Dual-Zone Liner keeps feet dry and skates light while DuraZone Abrasion Resistance Pads provide grip, securing the foot and providing protection against abrasions. CCM OrthoMove Custom Support Insoles allow a personalized fit and increased energy transfer while a re-designed TriTech Flex tongue with injected foam offers mobile protection. The SpeedBlade 4.0 Holder has a triangular design for optimum balance and energy transfer while SB Black Runners have an oxide coating that helps the steel stay sharper longer without corroding.

### Expert Notes

These jets are among the most stylish looking skates on the market right now, and are recommended for elite level players. The black runner steel is a crowd favorite, because it holds an edge longer than standard steel tends to. You can clearly see when there are nicks in the blade, so it won’t be hard for you to figure out when they need to be replaced. These blades are also incredibly lightweight, and you’ll notice this right away when you pick them up. As you would expect with a top-of-the-line boot, they’re very stiff. AS1 skates also don’t have an outsole, so this combined with the stiffness allows for unreal foot control.

JetSpeed FT1

### Product Description

JetSpeed FT1 skates utilize the latest CCM technologies for a light, balanced skate that’s built for speed. The new RocketFrame boot design with LiteFrame 360 Technology is a one-pice construction that fits around and under the foot to eliminate the need for an outsole.  Heat moldable, the boot eliminates empty space and provides direct energy transfer. The TotalDri Pro liner is a lightweight wicking material with vents for dryness and breathability along with durability patches for grip and comfort. The Tri-Tech Tongue is high density felt for protection without limiting mobility, and the SpeedBlade 4.0 holder angles forward for more aggressive turning and cuts. The high quality SpeedBlade Hyperglide steel runner has a hard tempered finish that reduces friction and drag for efficient gliding and increased energy performance.

### Expert Notes 

Aesthetically, this skate is a fan favorite among hockey players who aren’t ashamed to say they care about the look of their gear. JetSpeed FT1 skates are praised for their black contoured boot with subtle red accents. This look is clean and sharp, and is very similar to Bauer’s 1X LE skate. In addition, the soft white tongue is extremely comfortable and adds some flashiness for those players who like to let their tongues fly while they’re skating. As far as performance goes, JetSpeed FT1 skates are super quick on the ice as a result of CCM’s one-piece technology, which produces an unbelievable level of responsiveness with each stride.

Vapor X500

### Product Description 

Bauer X500 skates are in the middle of the pack of the Vapor line. Vapor skates offer unique builds for players who are looking for speed and balance at a competitive price. The Trueform Tech PU boot with X-Rib pattern is heat moldable and super stiff for increased support and protection. The one-piece injected heel and ankle core offer increased stability and durability, while the interior Hydrophobic Microfiber liner wicks away moisture and keeps the foot dry. Anaform foam padding protects the ankle while a two-piece felt tongue with injected high-density foam offers protection from impacts and lace bite. Tuuk LightSpeed Edge Holders and Tuuk LightSpeed Super Stainless Steel runners are lightweight and offer a tool-less removal system for quick blade changes. 

### Expert Notes

The main thing regarding the X500 is the lack of stiffness throughout the boot relative to some of the higher end vapor models. For someone skating 1-2 times per week, they work quite well and are priced on the lower end of the spectrum, which is ideal if you’re on a budget. The low level of boot stiffness does allow for greater comfort initially, and they are super easy to break in and get used to. The entire line of Vapor skates has always been a good looking line of skates as well, as they all tend to stick to the all-black boot with red detailing.

RibCor 44K

### Product Description 

In the 44K skate, CCM took old Reebok technologies and created an upgraded new line of skates. The classic pump has been upgraded to the CCM Advanced Pump for a custom fit which can be adjusted on the fly. These skates are also heat moldable for increased comfort and a better overall fit, while the Ribcor Flex boot construction provides lightweight protection with a slightly forward angle that puts players in the attack stance. The foot is kept dry with a Dual Zone Lightweight Tricot interior liner while the Two-Piece High Density Felt Tongue provides comfortable protection around the ankle. The SpeedBlade 4.0 holder is taller than traditional skates for more power and tighter turns, while the SpeedBlade Stainless Steel runners maintain a sharper edge for longer.
