Bauer Vapor X60 Skates

Bauer has spent the past 80 years researching, testing and building some of the best hockey skates the world has ever seen.
Having said that, the engineers at Bauer have once again pushed the limits of style and comfort with the new Vapor X:60 skate. Even Bauer’s previous skate, the highly touted Vapor XXXX, are not as high-tech of an ice hockey skate as the innovative Vapor X60.
With a renewed emphasis on speed and agility in the National Hockey League, pro players have been pushing manufacturers to respond with a “faster skate” …and it doesn’t get any faster than the Vapor X:60’s!
Bauer X60 Features
- The newly designed boot features a new tech mesh construction with a thermoformed crosshatched pattern for structural support and superior performance. The patented anatomical heel and ankle support is designed to enhance foot position and the dual-density foam provides comfort and protection throughout the boot.
- Bauer spent considerable time on the newly designed molded tongue, making it more protective and comfortable than previous models. The design and lack of comfort of the tongue was one of the main points of criticism of Vapor skates in the past.
- A full carbon composite outsole, featuring a built in lace bite channel, abrasion resistant material and high-density metatarsal guard round out the features of the exterior of the boot.
- As usual, Bauer Vapor skates offer a heat moldable boot for a customized fit along with the Tuuk Lightspeed 2 holder and LS2 stainless steel blades.

Nike Bauer Vapor XXXX Stick

After our review of the Vapor XXXX skates, many readers have asked about the arrival of the Vapor XXXX Stick and the Vapor XXXX Gloves.
The Vapor XXXX stick has recently been released to pro players and Eric Cole of the Carolina Hurricanes was one of the first NHL players seen using the stick.
Benefits and Features
Preliminary analysis says that they are good for wrist shots, but people are preferring the Nike Bauer One90 Stick for slapshots. However, this is always a personal preference and most people will enjoy the performance as well as the look of the new Bauer Vapor XXXX Stick.
The Vapor XXXX stick features a long tapered shaft and thinner shaft walls for easier loading and a very quick release. The news Direct Energy Transfer technology allows for great feel of the puck on the blade and more accurate shooting.
Vapor XXXX Stick Design
The walls of the shaft are concave and feature rounded corners that feel more natural when holding the stick. All in all the Vapor XXXX is a well balanced high end hockey stick that measures up to the Stealth S17 and the RBK 9K-O.
