Supreme M5 Pro

# Bauer Supreme M5 Pro Hockey Skates]


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro Ice Hockey Skates are designed for powerful skaters who play several times a week and look to maximize their explosiveness on the ice. They feature a 3D lasted Carbon Curv composite boot that is lightweight, supportive, and thermoformable for a custom fit. The boot is stiff in the lower portion to transfer power to your strides, while the traditional facing and tendon guard allow for maximum ankle flexion and extension. The skates also come with the "Choose Your Steel" option, allowing you to select the blade that best suits your playing style.

The Bauer Supreme line has a long history of catering to skaters who prioritize power and explosiveness. The M5 Pro continues this tradition by offering elite-level technology at a more affordable price point compared to Bauer's top-of-the-line skates.


### Perfect skates for:

elite players looking for high-end performance and comfort at a lower price than the Mach


### Key features include:



* A 3D Lasted Carbon Curv Composite quarter package
* Traditional facing which assists players in flexing over their toes
* Tendon guard enableing full extension of the stride, allowing you to reach your top speed.
* Classic Pro Felt Tongue, renowned for its comfort and performance
* Asymmetrical toe cap reduces space within the boot, enhancing responsiveness when moving your foot.


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Ribcor 78K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/ribcor-78k/l62114) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro skates excel in power transfer and stability with their solid quarter package and Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holders. The CCM Ribcor 78K skates prioritize mobility and agility with their flexible quarter package and Ribcor Elite holder. The True TF7 skates prioritize comfort and personalization with True Hockey's custom-fit system and two-piece TrueForm composite quarter package. When choosing among these high-quality options, players should consider their playing style, foot shape, and any specific features that are important to them.


### Progression:

The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro hockey skate draws inspiration from the top-of-the-line Bauer Supreme 1X Pro. It incorporates some key design changes to fit within a more affordable price point and performance level in the Supreme line. 

The M5 Pro shares the 1X Pro's core focus on power skating with a stiff flex profile for powerful skaters. The key differences and upgrades between the M5 Pro compared to 1X Pro are: 



* **Boot Construction:** The M5 Pro utilizes a 3D Lasted Curv Composite Quarter Package, which is a refinement over the 1X Pro's Vaporposite+ composite. This results in a lighter weight or a slightly different flex profile for optimized energy transfer.
* **Holder**: The M5 Pro uses the TUuk Lightspeed Edge holder, offering similar security but lighter weight compared to the PowerFly holder used in the 1X Pro.
* **Liner:** The M5 Pro utilizes a moisture-wicking liner, an upgrade in comfort features compared to the 1X Pro.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are a great for maximizing power on the ice. The 3D lasted Carbon Curv Composite boot is stiff and supportive, providing great energy transfer with each stride. I noticed a significant improvement in my skating speed after switching to the M5 Pro.
* I've struggled to find a well-fitting skate and considered going the custom route….but the wider toe box in Fit 1 of these fit me like a glove. The stiffness is perfect for me (a middle-age player going 3X a week). 
* The best part of this skate is the tongue, which has a blend of comfort and protection and a lot of ankle padding. 

CONS:



* The stiff carbon fiber boot can take some time to break in completely. My ankles were sore during the first few weeks of use.
* These skates are designed for powerful strides and require a good amount of leg strength. Beginners might find them too stiff and demanding.
* After only 6 skates the midfoot has already compressed leaving the skate with enough room to not have a secure fit anymore.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The M5 Pro is focused on giving a lot of power. Normally, you'd hear a Supreme or Bauer Pro model going for $900+. The M5 Pro is different than that. It has all the Pro features, but for a cheaper price—more of a mid-range level price. So the M5 Pro has all the same comfort features, durability, the ability to change your steel, and the traditional supreme anatomic fit. With the new Fit System mechanisms, the M5 Pro allows you to customize whether you want it wide, narrow, etc.

The skate's lightweight design, achieved through the use of Aerolite foam, allows for increased mobility without sacrificing support or comfort. Within the Bauer lineup, the Vapor Hyperlite sits alongside the Supreme line, with the former emphasizing quickness and maneuverability, while the latter focuses on power and energy transfer. The Hyperlite represents the culmination of 25 years of skate innovation for Bauer, aiming to deliver the ultimate combination of speed and performance for elite players.

### 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 Pro Custom](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/pro-custom-4/l10558)

The AS3 Pro skates feature a one-piece monocoque boot construction with a tapered fit and CCM's MetaFrame Technology. The True Pro Custom skates prioritize a personalized fit, with custom-made skates based on individual foot measurements and a carbon fiber one-piece shell. Both options offer strong competition with their unique features, allowing players to choose based on their fit, performance, and customization preferences.


### Progression:

While the 2021 release marked the introduction of the Hyperlite with its core features, there's a possibility of encountering slight variations depending on the production year due to the potential for minor, unannounced refinements. 

**2021 (Initial Release):** The first iteration of the Vapor Hyperlite featured several key innovations, including:



* Lightweight one-piece boot construction for improved mobility and responsiveness.
* Fit System with three width options (Fit 1, 2, and 3) for a wider range of foot shapes.
* AeroLite foam tongue for reduced weight and comfort.
* Hyperflex outsole for efficient energy transfer.
* A choice between three blade options: Carbonlite, Pulse TI, and Pulse.

**2022/2023 minor updates**: Bauer introduced minor refinements to the Hyperlite in the 2022/2023 model. These involve:



* Material tweaks for weight optimization or durability enhancement.
* Padding adjustments for improved comfort or fit.
* Minor holder or blade updates based on player feedback or technological advancements.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are incredibly light!  The HyperFlex technology with the carbon composite boot makes a huge difference. They feel very responsive and agile on the ice, allowing for quicker starts, faster turns, and overall better maneuverability.
* They felt weird at first, but after two skates I’m realizing some benefits. My turns are sticking better and my stops are harder and more precise. I will never be great, but these skates are helping me be the best I can be.
* After baking and profiling, they are outstanding. I have about 10 skates on them and couldn't be happier. Out of the box comfort is great and forward flex is much better than my old skates.

CONS:



* I’m questioning it’s durability especially for the $1,000+ price tag. The tongue looks good but the red fabric has already torn in only a month. I just replaced his laces as they were cut in several places which appear to be a result of the plastic lace eyelets.
* The Vapor Hyperlite leans towards a stiffer flex profile for maximum energy transfer.  While great for powerful skaters, this stiffness is too much for a beginner like me.
* After 6 months of use, i’m forced to buy another set because the plastic lace system at the top of the skate was broken and rendered the skate useless.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

I've had multiple pairs of the HyperLites, both retail and custom-made. It's like the HyperLite took the best elements from all the top Vapor skates and made them even lighter and more comfortable. The Hyperlite is the lightest skate I've ever used. It's almost so light that you need to get adjusted to putting pressure differently using your blades because heavier skates do give you a little extra weight. 

They have a comfort liner within the skate and right along the ankle, which keeps your ankles from wearing down. It's very durable, too. I've used a pair for about three years, skating a lot, and they've held up perfectly. Also, it's a great travel skate. Everything is weight-based if you're flying somewhere, so the HyperLite is an excellent option.

Supreme 3S Pro

# Bauer Supreme 3S Pro Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Supreme 3S Pro hockey skates are designed for skilled players who want a skate that offers a good balance of comfort and performance. The skates feature a 3D Curv composite boot that is lightweight and thermoformable for a custom fit. The boot has a power-cut design that helps to improve ankle stability and power transfer. The skates also have a 13-foot radius blade that is designed for good edge control and maneuverability. Overall, the Bauer Supreme 3S Pro skates are a good option for hockey players who are looking for a comfortable and high-performance skate.

The Bauer Supreme line has been a popular choice for hockey players for many years, and the 3S Pro skates are the latest addition to the line. The skates are designed to be more comfortable and forgiving than previous models in the line, while still offering good performance. 


### Perfect skates for:

A skilled player who wants added comfort.


### Key features include:



* The Flex Tendon Guard enables an expanded range of motion with each stride
* A symmetrical taper provides support for straight-line speed
* Power Cut enhances foot stability with increased wrap
* Improved forward flex range of motion, facilitating smoother strides.
* The integrated outsole delivers heightened energy transfer for greater push-off power.
* Increased ice contact and seamless transitions from back to front, with a balance point towards the back for a more neutral take-off feel.


### Top competitors comparison: The [CCM Jetspeed FT2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft2-2/l11100) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956) 

The Bauer Supreme 3S Pro emphasizes power and stability with its anatomical fit and a versatile Tuuk LS Pulse TI blade, providing excellent energy transfer. On the other hand, the CCM Jetspeed FT2 focuses on agility and acceleration, boasting the RocketFrame Composite quarter package and SpeedBlade XS holder for quick turns and explosive strides. Meanwhile, the True TF9 combines lightweight construction with a thermoformable boot, ensuring a personalized fit and heightened responsiveness. 


### Progression:

The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro was a top-of-the-line skate in the Supreme line before the 3S Pro. Key improvements in the 3S Pro over the 2S Pro are:



* **Fit:** The Performance Fit System allows for a more personalized fit compared to the three-width option system in the 2S Pro.
* **Performance:** The 3S Pro features advancements in energy transfer, edge control, and overall responsiveness.
* **Weight:** The 3S Pro is slightly lighter due to material and construction refinements.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* Thanks to the Tuuk LS Pulse TI blade and the skate's rigid construction, I have exceptional power transfer. I can go really fast, and my strides feel really powerful.
* Super comfortable. The thermoformable Curv Composite boot is awesome. The skate molded to my foot over time, providing a snug fit with no pressure points.
* Best skates I have ever used. The fit is perfect no lace bite at all.

CONS:



* These skates are not wide enough. I thought the tight pressure in my toe would go away, but it's actually worse. I should have gone with custom skates.
* They feel heavy… almost clunky when I’m on the ice.
* These skates are narrower than I like, and I will likely have to have them punched out. I am unimpressed with the profiled blade; I like the black series blades better.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

Similar to the 3S, the Pro version has even more bells and whistles. It features the classic pro tongue with molded inserts for a customized fit. It still has the classic Supreme composite boot and higher-level comfort foam. The higher the level of skate, the more comfort in the foam, and usually, the less time it takes to break in. You still see the 3S Pro in the NHL, and they hold up well. You can also quickly change out the blades and keep going. Players use them for years without any kind of loss in performance in terms of power.

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.
