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.

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.

The Bauer Vapor X2.7 skates are known for their agility and quick acceleration on the ice, similarly to the FT340. Both skates feature lightweight construction and supportive materials for excellent performance.

[JetSpeed 250](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-250/l11591): 



* Entry-level or recreational skate that features the same quality and construction as the higher end models.
* Synthetic embossed shell that supports a durable outer shell. 
* Heavy duty microfiber liner 
* Low profile injected outsole provides a interface to maximize energy transfer.
* CCM footbed 
* Non-replaceable stainless steel runner that provides a longer lasting edge

[JetSpeed FT 340](https://sidelineswap.com/search?q=jetspeed%20ft%20340):



* Entry-level or recreational skate
* Quarter package that's been injected with mesh form skin for a durable outer shell
* A Brushed micro-fiber liner provides comfort and a resistance to wear and tear. 
* A 5mm Felt tongue provides comfort and protection. 
* Injected outsole helps with energy transfer with every stride. 
* CCM Footbed 
* Speedblade Pro holder and runner, which is non-replaceable stainless steel that increases the player's attack angle.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are incredible! Super lightweight and feels responsive, which is exactly what I was looking for in a skate for quick cuts and accelerations. My strides feel really explosive.
* The fit on these skates is spot on. I went with the medium width and it feels like an extension of my foot. The SpeedBlade XS steel gives me some of the best edge control I've ever had.
* Big difference from my old skates. The ankle support in the JetSpeeds is top-notch. I feel really locked in and stable on my edges.

CONS:



* Less durable than expected for the price. The lining around the ankle already shows some signs of wear after just a couple of months of use. 

 



* I found the break-in period for these skates to be a bit longer than usual.  It took a good few weeks before they started to feel comfortable.
* These skates felt a bit too stiff for me, especially in the forefoot area. It restricted my toe flexion a bit and made it harder to get a good push-off. Maybe better suited for a more powerful skater than myself.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

This skate is intended for people who skate about once a week and are not super competitive. It'll hold up. If you skate ten times a week with these skates, they will only last you a little while, maybe a month or two. However, the main thing is that there is no quick or easy release for the metal runners or the blades. Many players look for skates with a metal release, which will let them swap out their blades. The more you sharpen them, the thinner they get. And in this case, you'd have to replace the whole bottom, the holder. It's more intensive than just clicking a button and adding new blades. But really, a solid skate for those who don’t skate every day.

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.

## 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.

The injected TPR outsole and TUUK Lightspeed Pro holder with stainless steel runners offer durability and reliable performance.

* 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?

# CCM JetSpeed 250 Hockey Skates

### Product Description:


The CCM JetSpeed 250 hockey skate caters to recreational and entry-level players seeking a balance of affordability and quality. Part of CCM's Jetspeed line, it inherits the brand's commitment to performance. This skate boasts a comfortable, supportive shell and a durable liner for extended use. The non-replaceable stainless steel blade offers a long-lasting edge, reducing the frequency of sharpening. While lacking the high-end features of its JetSpeed brethren, the 250 remains a solid choice for beginners looking for a comfortable and reliable skate to perfect their game, upholding the brand's legacy of providing equipment for players of all levels.


### Perfect skates for:

Recreational and entry-level players


### Key features include:



* Synthetic embossed quarter shell to enhance durability.
* Heavy-duty microfiber liner for long-lasting comfort.
* Low-profile injected outsole design ensures improved performance.

### Top competitors comparison: the [Vapor X2.9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-x2-9/l60200) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

The Bauer Vapor X2.9 skates offer a similar level of performance as the JetSpeed 250 skates, with a focus on quickness and agility. They feature a lightweight construction and a composite boot design for improved support and stability. The Vapor X2.9 skates also utilize the Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder system for quick blade changes. In comparison, the True TF7 skates provide a customizable fit with a heat moldable technology, allowing for a personalized fit that caters to the unique shape of the player's foot. They feature a composite shell for durability and stiffness, and the True Shift Holder for adjustable blade heights. 


### Progression:

CCM’s signature skate release for 2015 was the all-new CCM Jetspeed. It’s a top-to-bottom redesign that replaces the now-discontinued RBZ. 

The RBZ skates were much wider and had a lot of negative space. They also had a problem with heel lock, which caused skaters to slip out of their heels. This led to skaters overtightening their skates, damaging the quarter packages and eyelets on the lacing. CCM seriously considered these issues when designing the new and improved, full composite JetSpeed ice skates. The upgrades to the Jetspeed line include: 



* 40 grams lighter than their RBZ predecessor
* Contoured RocketFrame™ full composite boot. 
* Double-stitched tendon guard to improve their durability.
* A JetProtect tongue. The first layer of the tongue contains thick felt, then a layer of EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) foam, and finally, a layer of HD (High Density) foam. The outer portion of the tongue features a protective ridge for the laces to rest upon, a "heavy weapon" in the battle against lace-bite.
* Custom support insoles which come in high-arch, mid-arch, and low-arch options.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are a fantastic option for beginner to intermediate players. They offer a good balance of comfort, performance, and affordability. The boot is supportive enough for learning proper technique, and the steel provides decent edge control.
* The boot feels nice and lightweight. It allows for quick turns and good responsiveness, which is exactly what I was looking for.  My skating feels more dynamic.
* The heat-moldable liner is a great feature for getting a more personalized fit. I was able to get rid of some pressure points around my ankles, which makes a big difference in comfort for longer skates. 

CONS:



* These skates felt a bit too soft for me. I couldn't get the same level of energy transfer as with a stiffer boot. If you're a more advanced player who needs maximum power transfer, you might want to consider a higher-end model.
* I've seen some mixed reviews about the durability of these skates.  While they seem fine for now, I'm a little worried about how they'll hold up with long-term use.
* The break-in period for these skates wasn't the most pleasant. They felt a bit stiff at first, but they did loosen up after a few skates.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

The JetSpeed 250 is at the lower end of the JetSpeed line and focuses on speed and explosiveness. It's built for people just starting out or who only skate once a week. It'll give you a good feel of the JetSpeed line. The 250 doesn't have the quick-release holder, so you'd have to replace the bottom, but in most cases, for a recreational skater or someone just learning, it’s a great skate.
