Bauer Vapor X900 Junior Ice Hockey Skates

The Vapor legacy continues as the most popular family within Bauer's 3-fit platform with the Bauer Vapor X900 Junior Hockey Skates. Its standard v-fit profile consists of a standard width through the toebox and forefoot with a low-volume, narrower fit in the heel and ankle. While the Vapor fit may not work for every foot type, those who do benefit from its fit characteristics often swear by its “second skin” fit and feel.

The OD1N concept skate provided the inspiration behind the updated X-Rib pattern. Lab tests, designed to measure performance, showed improvements in heel and ankle lock which resulted in quicker cross overs and tighter turns. Additionally, this X-rib pattern adds structural support to the skate and can be found throughout the Vapor line. Bauer uses its Curv® composite in the quarter of the Vapor X900 Junior Hockey Skates, purposely built with a measured balance of lateral support and forward flex. It's incredibly lightweight and responsive. The 3D Lasted design plus the fact that these are heat moldable is going to get you an amazing 360° fit with minimal negative space and minimal break in time. The fully composite upper has become standard issue for Bauer’s top of the line price point skates due to its unsurpassed strength, durability, support, and feel.

The tried and true HYDRA MAX mesh liner is used in the Vapor X900 Junior Hockey Skates and has a reputation for its durability and moisture management properties. The 3-piece felt design of the Form Fit + tongue features comfortable 48 oz white felt on the top and 40 oz white felt on the sides with added support and protection for the top of the foot provided by the plastic insert metatarsal guard.

The boot sits atop a full lightweight carbon composite outsole with the Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder. This holder design provides an added three millimeters of height, in comparison to the Tuuk Lightspeed 2 holder thus allowing the skater to get lower to the ice for sharper, tighter turns without “bottoming out”, all while allowing runners to be changed out in seconds with the pull of a trigger.

The Vapor X900 Junior Hockey Skates, sizes 1 to 3.5, are complemented with high-grade stainless steel Tuuk LS2 EDGE Runners. The LS2 EDGE Runners fit seamlessly into the LightSpeed EDGE Holders, allowing players to change out their steel on the fly. Additionally, these runners feature a 9-foot turning radius, providing players with a perfect balance of maneuverability and top-end speed! The Vapor X900 Junior Hockey Skates in sizes 4 and up, feature Bauer’s LS3 Runners! These runners are three millimeters taller than the LS2 runners, providing an increased angle of attack, allowing players to dig deeper into their turns! Furthermore, they have a polished finish that helps increase edge retention, helping skate sharpens last longer.

Sharing much of the technology that is also found in flagship Vapor 1X Junior skate, there is great value to be found in this Bauer Vapor X900 Junior. Check yours out today!
