Overview

The Bauer Vapor X3.0 ice hockey skates are an excellent buy for a recreational level player. The Vapor 3.0 skates offer an some higher end features which can be hard to find in this price range.  The Bauer Vapor X 3.0 is the first model in the vapor line to offer the felt tongue with a meatarsal guard, as well as the top end LS2 blade holder.

The dense nylon based quarter panels offer good support with some great durability. The 3.0 skates feature a traditional white felt tongue for a more traditional feel. The Pro-8 beveled TPU outsole offers a light weight feel while providing a responsive but slightly forgiving feel.

Comments: My son, who is a second year Mite defenseman and a solid skater, puts about 10 hours a week
on these skates. These are his second pair as he outgrows them quickly, but are a great price
point for what you get. The steel keeps a good edge and the increased runner height (over
the x2) allows for tighter turns. The last remained stiff for over a year until he needed the
next size up. While there are mixed reports of heat molding these, every pair of his skates
have been molded with reasonable results (one boot required molding twice).

We may upgrade to the X4.0 next year for an outer that is more water resistant, as after a
couple of hours of play, the boot tends to be soaked with water/ice. He is also getting big
enough where he might appreciate the increased stiffness of the higher end skates, though to
be honest I really don't think stiffness matters for younger players, both because of their
lighter weight but also because smaller feet/legs just can't apply as much leverage to the
skate to make it flex.
