The Bauer Vapor 3X JR Hockey Skates are the newest member of the Vapor family for 2021. With the focus on its quickness, agility, asymmetrical toe cap, and other upgrades, this is a skate that you definitely want to check out.
Skate Fit Profile
Bauer has constructed the Vapor 3X with the focus on the performance level hockey players. In this skate, Bauer has stayed with the traditional fitting style which fits a narrower foot profile. It will not be until size 4 that the new Performance Skate Fit system will come into play. The 3X Pro junior is offered in sizes 1-3.5 in both widths D and EE.
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
Bauer has constructed the Vapor 3X with the focus on Performance level hockey players. The 3X features Bauer’s Digital Composite Motion Flex material. This Motion Flex Composite material is used to provide good stability while still allowing junior players the ease to flex their knees over their toes. Complementing these junior specific elements, is a Comfort Edge Padding lined along the top of the boot to reduce bite when performing stops and aggressive tight turns.
Liner & Internal Padding
The 3X comes out of the box with a game day ready comfort before heat molding. With Bauer’s new Fit System, getting into the 3X is seamless. The 3X features the Hydrophobic Microfiber liner to provide a great grip of the foot and moisture management to keep you as dry as possible. Pairing this with Bauer’s upgraded Aerofoam Memory foam, this boot delivers exceptional comfort while still maintaining a snug ankle wrap.
Asymmetrical Toe Cap
The Vapor 3X features an asymmetrical toe cap. This new toe cap has been revolutionized to reduce the negative space which results in a better fit. It also generates more power with every push stride. Bauer designed this toe cap based on the data collected from over 400,000 scans from the Bauer 3D scanner.
Tongue
Bauer has styled its 3X tongue to keep the main focus on comfort and performance to ensure stability and flexibility while skating. The tongue includes a 40 oz felt tongue seamed with comfort lining to offer a balance of performance, support, and great feel.
Insoles
The 3X Junior 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.
Lacing System
Since the 3X comes in at our 3rd price point for the performance level players the boot does not offer the Injected Eyelet System you will find in the Hyperlite and 3X Pro. This is not to say that the standard eyelet system is bad, it’s just different. In fact, many pro players in the NHL prefer standard eyelets. Unlike the Injected eyelet system where it is one cohesive strip of eyelets, the standard eyelets are individually woven into the stake. The main difference is the overall wrap you can get from the boot.
Graphics
Unlike the 3X senior and intermediate sizings, the 3X junior offers a new black and blue transition look with some beautiful neon yellow accents to make the skate pop. You will definitely be standing out on the ice with these puppies on.
