Intro & New Features

The Bauer Vapor Velocity Hockey Skates have been exclusively designed for Source For Sports. This skate is ideal for the competitive player looking for performance enhancing features, new technology, and instant comfort all at a lower price.

Skate Fit Profile

Like the HyperLite, the Vapor Velocity features the Performance Skate Fit System as well. The classic D and EE widths have been replaced in this size range by Fit 1, Fit 2, and Fit 3. This may sound confusing, however, this allows you the freedom to wear different options in the Bauer family.

Previously you based your decision on the traditional “Vapor Fit”, “Supreme Fit”, or “Nexus Fit”. Now all 3 skate fits are available to wear with “Supreme Features”, or “Vapor Features”, whichever aligns with your preference. Below is how the new Bauer Skate Fit System compares to previous years’ of Bauer Skates.

• Fit 1 = Low Volume, Narrow width (closest aligned to the Vapor fit profile)
• Fit 2 = Medium Volume, Medium Width (closest aligned to the Supreme fit profile)
• Fit 3 = High Volume, Wide Width (closest aligned to the Nexus fit profile)

Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile

The Velocity features Bauer’s 3D Lasted Flex Composite material. This material has allowed Bauer to reduce the overall weight of the boot. In addition, because this boot is Flex Composite, it will be slightly softer than the 3D lasted Pro Curv Carbon Composite that comes on the X Shift Pro. This Flex Composite material is used to provide good stability while still allowing great ankle flexion. The top of the boot is lined with Comfort Edge Padding to reduce bite when performing stops and aggressive tight turns.

Liner & Internal Padding

The Velocity is designed with a focus on comfort and reduced break-in time. It features a one-piece sublimated liner and memory foam ankle pads. The sublimated liner provides great comfort while wicking away moisture as you sweat. The boot is also designed with a Comfort Edge lined along the top of the boot to stop bites when performing stops and quick turns.

Tongue

Bauer has styled its Velocity tongue to keep the main focus on comfort and performance. The tongue is made to offer a balance of performance, support, and great feel.

Insoles

The Velocity 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.

Blade & Blade Holder

Then Bauer Vapor Velocity skates features a TUUK blade holder, secured into the bottom of the skate and provides a releasable trigger to switch the blades in and out with ease. The lightspeed edge holder ensures that the LS steel stays secure while on the ice.
