The Bauer Vapor 3X Pro YTH Hockey Skates are made for pro inspired looking for the highest end features possible in their current size range. The 3X Pro skate is a perfect choice for the young guns expecting a high performance skate.
Skate Fit Profile
Vapor continues to be one of the most popular choices for youth skaters. The Vapor line offers a low volume and slightly narrower foot profile which we have noticed to be common in our future NHLers. The 3X pro also has a snug heel fit which adds great stability for all levels of skaters.
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
New to the 3X Pro this season is the Digital Composite quarter boot. The construction is slightly softer than the Junior sizes. They have also implemented Motion Flex Technology to increase the forward flex of the boot. This forward flex is imperative for younger players when developing their strides and building good technique.
Liner & Internal Padding
The Bauer 3X Pro Youth Skate features a hydrophobic liner and lightweight memory foam ankle pads with thermoformable properties for great comfort. It also offers Comfort Edge along the top of the boot to nullify bites when stopping and performing tight turns.
Tongue
A Classic Pro 40-ounce Felt tongue offers plenty of comfort, flex, and protection against lace-bite.
Insoles
The 3X Pro Youth Skate comes with your standard Form Fit footbed. This insole allows your foot to stay secure to the bed of the boot. It also increases the control and blade contact you have while skating.
Steel Runner, Holder & Blade Profile
The 3X Pro Youth Skate comes standard with a LS Pro 2 holder and LS 1 steel combo. Although this combination does not allow you to replace the steel like the senior/intermediate/junior models, the Tuuk LS 1 steel remains one of the best in the youth category of skates on the market.
Graphics
Following the graphics of the Hyperlite model, the 3X Pro is slightly toned down without any neon yellow colour pop and a slightly darker grey. This is a great looking graphic with a more traditional look to it.
