The Bauer Pro Vapor Hockey Skate Socks promotes better feel and responsiveness for the east-to-west Vapor style skater. Unlike the Pro Supreme Sock, these have a thinner profile with targeted zones to relieve pressure from the skate while enhancing foot-to-ice connection. They are built with left and right anatomical fits that create a custom-like fit and a knitted design that prevents bunching when in a forward lean.
It has a wonderful blend of materials that includes Merino Wool which is soft, highly resistant to odors, and extremely effective at wicking away sweat from the skin. A strategic compression zone then enables arch support in the skate and enhances performance by promoting blood flow and oxygenation of muscle tissue.
