Vapor 3X Pro

# Bauer Vapor 3x Pro Hockey Skates


### Product Description:

The Bauer Vapor 3X Pro hockey skates are a high-end option for players who prioritize agility and speed. They feature a lightweight and responsive boot made from Bauer's Curv composite material, which is also heat-moldable for a custom fit. The skates also have a HydroLite liner to wick away moisture and keep feet dry, as well as a flexible tongue for a better range of motion. 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. While not the top-of-the-line offering, these skates provides excellent performance at a more accessible price point compared to Bauer's top-tier skates.


### Perfect skates for:

A player who skates 3-4+ times per week and is looking for a skate that maximizes agility and speed


### Key features include:



* Quarter Package constructed with 3D Lasted Curv Composite
* Utilizes Lock Fit lining material for a secure and comfortable fit.
* Enhanced with Aerofoam+ ankle padding to provide optimal cushioning and support.
* Features Classic 48oz Felt tongue with Injected Insert
* Equipped with Lock Fit footbed for stability and comfort.
* Anaform upper allows for customized fit and enhanced comfort.
* Pro TPU outsole provides stability and durability on the ice.
* TUUK Lightspeed Edge holder enables quick and easy blade changes.
* LS Pulse runner ensures excellent performance and longevity on the ice.


### 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 CCM Jetspeed FT1 skates are designed for speed and acceleration. They feature a lightweight and rigid boot construction with CCM's MonoFrame 360 technology and utilize the SpeedBlade 4.0 holder for efficient energy transfer. 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.

# 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.


### Progression:

[Vapor 1X](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-1x-2/l1368)



* Speed Plate Technology
* LS4 Steel
* 37.5 Liner
* An updated version of the X-Rib Curv Composite Boot, which has been aluminized. 
* TUUK Lightspeed Edge Holder.

[Vapor 2X](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-2x-pro-3/l59547)



* New technologies in the Vapor 2X include an asymmetrical toe cap and quarter construction

* Significant weight reduction of approximately 6.5% lighter
* Asymmetrical toe cap for better overall fit
* 40oz Felt tongue with comfort lining 
* Hydrophobic liner with great grip to secure the foot in place
* Full composite boot


### 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.

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.

### 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.
