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.

### 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.

The one-piece boot is constructed from NHL-caliber composite materials, keeping the weight low while maximizing energy transfer for powerful strides. The STEP BlackSteel blades are designed for effortless gliding and sharp turns. These skates represent the latest innovation in CCM's long history of producing high-performance hockey equipment, following in the footsteps of previous Jetspeed models known for their responsiveness and speed.


### Perfect skates for:

A player who wants the elite features of a top-of-the-line skate


### Key features include:

* Customizable fit and comfort with the interchangeable tongue.
* Asymmetrical toe cap.
* Better bite and longer-lasting edges with the Step Blacksteel featuring carbon-coated technology.
* Enhanced energy transfer with the lightweight composite midsole.


### Top competitors comparison: the [Bauer Supreme 3S Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/supreme-3s-pro/l65212) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956)

The 3S Pro skates focus on power and precision, with features like an asymmetrical quarter package design, Form-Fit+ footbed, and Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder. On the other hand, the TF9 skates prioritize a customized fit through True Hockey's patented fit system, featuring a two-piece composite quarter construction and SHIFT holder. Each option presents different strengths, with the 3S Pro emphasizing control and comfort, the TF9 focusing on a personalized fit, and the FT4 Pro highlighting agility and responsiveness. 


### Progression:

CCM's JetSpeed hockey skates have had various models and updates over the years, offering speed, performance, and fit improvements. Here are some notable models and updates:

[**JetSpeed FT1**](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft1/l1305): Introduced as the first skate in the JetSpeed line, the FT1 featured a RocketFrame composite boot, SpeedCore 3 technology, and TotalDri Pro liner.

[**JetSpeed FT2**](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft2-2/l11100): The FT2 skate introduced L1TE Frame 360 EVO technology, reducing the weight of the boot by 20 grams and improving rigidity. It also featured a wraparound tongue for enhanced fit and comfort.

[**JetSpeed FT4 Pro**](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft4-pro-2/l165798): This model showcased the Hyperglide runner, which had a lighter blade design. The skate also boasted an asymmetrical toe cap for improved customization and fit.

[**JetSpeed FT6 Pro**](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft6-pro-5/l330947): The FT6 Pro is part of the 2023 skate lineup, featuring top-of-the-line performance and technology including the new SuperSkin insert which protects the exterior better than ever before. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are top-of-the-line. The composite boot provides incredible stiffness and responsiveness. My strides feel powerful, and the edges hold like nobody's business.  
* The TotalFit Pro+ liner with the asymmetrical tongue offers a fantastic, locked-in fit. The liner feels supportive and comfortable from the start, and the heat-molding capabilities allowed me to get a truly custom fit around my ankles and heels.
* Despite the stiffness for power transfer, the JetSpeed FT4 feels surprisingly lightweight.  The fit allows for good mobility in the ankle, and the boot design helps with quick turns and overall agility. 

CONS:



* These skates are expensive. While the performance is good, the price tag is only realistic for serious players or those with a professional budget. There are very good skates available at lower price points.
* Unfortunately after using these for less than a season, a puck from a shot hit the interior of the skate and created a huge crack in the "one piece boot". I was shocked at how easily these skates split open.
* These skates needed a longer break-in period than I expected, especially compared to other JetSpeed models I’ve tried. It took them a few weeks of use before the skates felt truly comfortable.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

Many people compare the FT4 Pro to the HyperLite, but the FT4 has much more power. It's an incredibly powerful skate, and the fit is perfect. I would do my stride in the FT4 Pro and realized pretty quickly that I needed to watch out! I'm not used to the power. You see a lot of NHL players still using the FT4 Pro. I'll see a player going really fast and think wow, look at that. Oh yeah, they are wearing the JetSpeed FT4 Pro.
