Overview
The Bauer Vapor X90 Ice Hockey Skates offer great performance features at a great value. The X-Rib pattern, Tuuk Edge Holder and full composite outsole will help take anyone's game to the next level.
The signature design of Bauer Vapor skates has always been the X-Rib pattern seen when looking at the back of the boot. This structural design allows for excellent power transfer when taking a stride as well as turning. To achieve a tighter turning radius than ever before, Bauer used the Tuuk Edge Holder that sits 3mm taller in the front and back. This prevents the skate from bottoming out and allows the player to get out even further on their edges.
The Hydra-Max Liner has great moisture wicking properties to help decrease drying time and therefor extends the life of the skate. The Form-Fit 3-piece felt tongue has a traditional feel to it while maintaining comfortability and protection.

Comments: This is my third pair of Vapors and so far my favorite. I skated public skating with them last Monday morning and wore them in a game that night. Wore them in a game again last and they feel awesome. I think the quick release system is kewl, just not sure if it's going to be a problem out in the future. Awesome looking skate, why no Bauer logo on the instep, kinda looks plain? As far as the 3mm higher, I tried pushing them in tight circles forward and backwards and I feel I can get a bit tighter than my old skates.
