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.

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

### 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.

Supreme M4

Vapor X4

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:

### 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.

### 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
* A new three-piece, 48-oz felt tongue includes an exposed injected metatarsal guard for added protection
* Tuuk Lightspeed EDGE holder for a locked-in feel
* Tuuk LS3 runner for long-lasting edge life.

[Vapor 3X](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-3x-3/l165936)



* 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.

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 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.

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.

Vapor 2X

# Bauer Vapor 2X Hockey Skates


###  Product Description: 


The Bauer Vapor 2X hockey skates are a high-end offering designed for competitive players who skate frequently and prioritize a low-profile fit. They boast features like a lightweight and responsive Curv composite boot for better agility, an asymmetrical toe cap for increased push power, and a comfortable Recoil tongue for improved flexion. These skates are positioned as a successor to the previous Vapor models, aiming to deliver the best fit, comfort, and agility within the Bauer Vapor lineup.


### Perfect skates for:

want a top-end fit with elite features


### Key features include:

- Low-profile design.

- High performance with the ACCELFLEX System.

- Improved comfort and fit with Aero Foam+ padding.

- High-end durability with the Lock-Fit liner.

- Locked in with the Tuuk Lightspeed EDGE holder.

- Long-lasting edge life with the Tuuk LS3 runner. (Junior skates under size 4 come with LS2.)


### Top competitors comparison: The [CCM Jetspeed FT2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft2-2/l11100) and [True Pro Custom](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/pro-custom-4/l10558) Hockey Skates

The Jetspeed FT2 skates offer an anatomical fit with a one-piece boot construction and a customizable fit through heat molding. They also feature the Speedblade XS holder system for quick blade changes. On the other hand, the True Pro Custom skates focus on customizability, with handcrafted construction tailored to the player's specific foot measurements. They offer premium materials and the ability to choose blade options. Both alternatives provide similar levels of performance and customization to the Bauer Vapor 2X.


### Progression:

* Speed Plate Technology
* LS4 Steel

* An updated version of the X-Rib Curv Composite Boot, which has been aluminized.

* Asymmetrical toe cap for better overall fit
* 40oz Felt tongue with comfort lining 
* Hydrophobic liner with great grip to secure foot in place
* Full composite boot


### 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.

Tacks AS-570

# CCM Tacks AS-570 Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The CCM Tacks AS-570 hockey skates are designed for powerful strides and a close fit, making them ideal for competitive players of all ages. They bring the technology of CCM's high-end Tacks skates to a more affordable price point. The skates feature a one-piece boot for better energy transfer and a closer fit, along with a 150 stiffness flex rating for powerful pushes. The replaceable asymmetrical tongue and XS steel runners allow for customization to individual preferences. Continuing the legacy of the Tacks line, the AS-570 skates aim to provide power and performance for today's hockey players.


### Perfect skates for:

A player looking for a balance between some of the high-end tech but at a lower cost.


### Key features include:



* Direct energy transfer with the one Piece Boot quarter package 
* HD Microfiber liner 
* Interchangeable, custom fitting tongue
* Molded CCM Ortholite footbed with recycled EVA foam
* CCM XS Stainless Steel runner


### Top competitors comparison: the [Bauer Supreme M5 Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/supreme-m5-pro-2/l177540) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

All three skates target mid-range players seeking a balance of affordability and performance. The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro leans towards a stiffer flex profile for powerful strides, similar to the AS-570. However, the True TF7 stands out for its focus on a lightweight construction and a more customizable fit through heat-moldable materials. Ultimately, the best choice depends on whether the player prioritizes a stiffer skate for maximum power (CCM and Bauer) or a lighter weight skate with a more personalized fit (True).


### Progression:

CCM typically prioritizes introducing major advancements in their top-of-the-line models like the JetSpeed or RibCor lines. Updates to mid-range skates like the AS-570 are more subtle and not explicitly advertised. The AS-570 offers some significant upgrades over the entry-level models including a one-piece quarter package boot, interchangeable tongues, and the speedblade XS Holder improving the spring-lock system that makes swapping out blades more efficient. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* The one-piece boot provides a good amount of stiffness for powerful strides, which is unusual to find at this price range. They're not top-of-the-line, but they're a great option for players looking for an upgrade from recreational skates.
* The liner is decent quality and wicks away moisture well. These skates are also fairly lightweight, which makes for easier strides and better maneuverability on the ice.
*  The AS-570 is a great fit for someone who has flat feet. One of my friends suggested adding a pair of superfeet skates to them and they felt great!

CONS



* More advanced players might find the boot to be a little too soft for their needs. These skates don’t offer the same level of stiffness and performance as some top-of-the-line models.
* The one-piece boot does require a break-in period, and I found it to be a bit uncomfortable at first. There are some serious initial pressure points and blisters happening on my feet.
* Baked these skates and am currently on my 4th time getting these punched. There is no room on the inner side of these skates for the bones in an average persons foot near the ankle. 


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The AS-570 is in a good state. You have the ankle-locking memory foam and it offers a lot of power and comfort. This skate might not be as durable as other comparable models. It doesn't have the same high-end materials as the 5 Pro, but the AS-570 has a really good anatomical fit. It's a great skate if you don't really need the pro-level durability because you might only be skating on the weekends, but you still want something decent.

AS-V

# CCM Tacks AS-V Hockey Skates

### Product Description: 


The CCM Tacks AS-V hockey skates are designed for powerful strides and explosiveness on the ice. They feature a one-piece boot for superior energy transfer and a close fit, along with a lightweight composite construction for better mobility. The skates also come with a new Powerflex tendon for increased range of motion and a customizable steel blade option. As part of the long-standing Tacks line, known for its focus on power skating, the AS-V skates offer an elite option for players seeking top-of-the-line performance without the top-of-the-line price tag.


### Perfect skates for:

player who skates 3-4 times per week and is looking for elite features at a lower price point


### Key features include:



* One Piece Boot Power quarter package.
* TotalDri Pro liner featuring Polygiene for high-performance moisture-wicking comfort.
* Customizable fit and comfort with the interchangeable tongue.
* Cushioning and support with the molded CCM Ortholite Ultralite footbed.
* Comfort with memory foam and seamless padding.
* Support and flexibility with the Powerflex Tendon Guard featuring Fiberglass construction.


### Top competitors comparison: the [Bauer Vapor X2.9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-x2-9/l60200) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956)

The CCM Tacks ASV skates feature an anatomical fit with the AttackFrame 2 quarter package and Speedblade XS holder for optimal performance. In comparison, the Bauer Vapor X2.9 skates prioritize speed and agility with a thermoformable boot, tapered fit design, and Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder. On the other hand, the True TF9 skates prioritize comfort and a custom fit with the True Hockey custom-fit process, Trueform composite boot, and BRT blade holders. Players should consider their playing style, foot shape, and preferences for fit and performance when deciding between these models.


### Progression:

Since the AS-V is a recent release, specific year-over-year upgrades are uncommon. However, subtle upgrades from the previous year and previous AS3 models includes: 



* The AS-V is upgraded with its highly advanced One-Piece Boot Power technology. 
* All new level of comfort and protection due to the Asymmetrical Tritech Tongue with D30 lite foam. 
* Improved tendon guard with fiberglass to increase range of motion for fuller strides and increased skating power. 
* Improved spring-lock system that tightly secures the blade to the holder and makes swapping out blades more efficient. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* The one-piece composite boot is stiff and lightweight, providing excellent energy transfer with every push. I noticed a significant difference in my skating speed and agility after switching to the AS-V. They feel very responsive on the ice.
* The one-piece boot on these skates provides a good balance of stiffness for performance and comfort. The multi-density foam core seem to help with the break-in period, making them comfortable to wear for long practices. 
* The AS-V is out of this world for comfort in the wide. They have fixed the low volume and the toe cap so no longer rubbing on the top of the foot. I knew these were great as soon as I put them on. I’m glad I didn't settle for the other skates and waited for these to come out. 

CONS:



* For sure a longer break-in period due to the stiffness of the boot. I had some ankle soreness during the first few weeks of use.
* The AS-V skates don't offer as many customization options as some other high-end models. The liner is not fully heat-moldable like some other skates. 
* I am worried about the blade holder system. They come with plastic insert. Took out and tried to put in V-Steel. Could not get to go in.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

The AS-V offers a close, professional fit, and a lot of power. I really love the quick acceleration. The number one thing with this skate is comfort. The padding really secures the ankle and foot while keeping the flexibility to turn and move. The tongue has a funky design, but it allows you to get a full range of motion without feeling insecure in the skate or like it's going to fall off or wobble.
