I bought the hyperlite 2s...skated the exact same way as my 16 year old vapor 40s. Comfy skates but no better than the old skates. Marketing at its finest.
I know how you feel. I still can't find skates that feel as good as my 90s Bauer 2000 Supremes. Tried latest Supreme Elite and Ribcore 86k just feels not as good.
@@calgary2800 i have tried numerous skates over the years. There is are no stats or physical proof that skates have improved anyone's ability to skate. I believe every skater and their ability out weighs any "innovation" in the last 10-15 years
It depends what you're looking for. They are both top of the line skates but are built differently. The MACH's have a stiffer lower and softer upper, allowing for more power and mobility. The Vapor skate has a softer lower portion of the skate and stiffer upper for more ankle support for quick, agile movements. If you're close to a store we would recommend going in to try them on and see what you think fits and feels best.
Hi Pure Hocke. Are the Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2 Fit 1 the same boot mold as the X5 pro Vapor skates Fit 1 ? I ask because I previously had an older Model Bauer Vapor from maybe 5 years ago that felt smaller overall (volume and width). The new models have a widder toe box and thats no good in my case, even Fit 1. Bauer claims Fit 1 is the same a the traditional Vapor line but that is not the case. What do you think ? Thanks
Bauer Vapor HyperLite 2, Fit 1 will fit closest to the traditional Vapor D width. Skates have changed from 5+ years ago so they may not fit the exact same. They may also need some break in time. Also, even with the fit system, Vapor and Supreme skates do still fit slightly different. Vapor is more narrow in the heel with a stiffer boot, while Supreme is a little wider in the heel with a softer boot.
The biggest difference with the HyperLite 2 skates that Bauer focused on will be the new PowerFly holder and improvements on the tongue for better comfort. The original HyperLite skates are still great, so can't go wrong either way!
This usually comes down to personal preference and style of play. Vapor is more narrow in the heel with the upper part of the skate being stiff and lower part being softer to optimize speed and agility. Supreme is wider in the heel with the upper part of the boot being soft and the lower part being stiff to optimize power and energy transfer. If you are close to a store, it could be helpful to try on each skate to see what feel more comfortable to you.
The TRUE custom SVH skates are probably a little stiffer, but other than that, power and agility out of either skate will be very similar. It may just come down to budget and personal preference on what skate feel better to you.
What reasoning did bauer give for transitioning away from the internal mouldable speed plate? I’m looking at upgrading from the 1X 2017 and noticed this is no longer included. Any Insight?
They didn't give specific reasoning but having a skate that is fully thermoformable, ability to choose your fit and now having fully custom skate options are likely some reasons for Bauer moving away from that.
I want to get these, I have the vapor 3x in a fit 2, 8,5. Should I size these the same? Someone said that the new hyperlites are ”bigger” and you should size down?
Hey Russell, Lace bite is mostly commonly caused by an improperly fitting boot. While the Hyperlite Skates vary a bit in fit compared to the X3.7's, you'd probably benefit from switching over to the Supreme line of skates which accommodate a bit deeper foot. If you're around any of our 70+ retail stores, we'd highly recommend you stop by and get your foot scanned on our skate scanners so our staff can walk through the best options for your foot shape!
Hi, i have tried Vapor 2x pro in 9,5 fit 2 from a friend and they felt good. Would These be the Same fit or are they more narrow? Especially the toe Box? The M5 pro i tried in 9,5 fit 2 was too narrow in the toe Box but the Vapor has a bigger one or more room at the big toe. Will thr toe Box be wider in a fit3? I have No Shop to try so i have to Order online. Thank you
If the Vapor 2X Pro in Fit 2 felt good, these skates would fit very similar to that in the same size and fit. A Fit 3 would have a slightly wider toe box but will be wider throughout the boot as well.
since this is built with agility in mind over the supreme line's powerful stride improvements, would a player with already long and powerful strides benefit from a skate like this to try and improve their agility? Or should they be looking to get more out of their stride with the supreme lineup? Also, you mentioned the ankle padding, but how does this hold up for the shot blocking needs of a defenseman?
The Vapor skate won't necessarily improve your agility, it's just built for a player who is looking for a softer bottom and stiffer upper to support your ankles through more agile movements. If you like the Supreme skates, feel, fit etc we would recommend staying with those but if you're curious about a Vapor fit and close to a store, you can always come in a try them on. The ankle padding is for some protection but mainly for comfort. The boot is stiff so should hold up for blocking shots but if you're looking for more protection in that area you can look at shot blockers. Here is a link to some we have on our website. www.purehockey.com/product/skate-fender-pro/itm/7464-2/
The back portion of the Vapor HyperLite 2 skate was optimized by using denser materials for increased stability and balance. The information we have for products comes directly from the manufacturer.

Why I’m grabbing the old hyperlites for $300 off this weekend on Bauer website.
@@jacobmcvay123 at hockey Wolff ccm asv pros were 40 percent off black friday
GOOD REVIEW. hopefully i can get a pair to test out!
Hyperlite 2 liner uses a similar soft / grippy liner to the 2X Pro/ 2S Pro. Super comfy feel
👍
Are these better than the Bauer supreme Machs? I’m getting new skates and coming from Bauer

Hi Pure Hocke. Are the Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2 Fit 1 the same boot mold as the X5 pro Vapor skates Fit 1 ?

Are these worth the upgrade or will I be fine getting the original Hyperlites?
The biggest difference with the HyperLite 2 skates that Bauer focused on will be the new PowerFly holder and improvements on the tongue for better comfort. The original HyperLite skates are still great, so can't go wrong either way!
Hi,
Need your opinion… should I get Supreme Mach or Hyperlite 2?
Thanks
This usually comes down to personal preference and style of play.

How would these compare to true svh custom skates in terms of agility, power and stiffness, thanks
The TRUE custom SVH skates are probably a little stiffer, but other than that, power and agility out of either skate will be very similar. It may just come down to budget and personal preference on what skate feel better to you.

Is 10 to 10.5 shoe good for size 8.5 hyperlites?
We usually recommend going down 1-1.5 sizes from your shoe, so if you're a size 10 shoe, an 8.5 skate would work!
I want to get these, I have the vapor 3x in a fit 2, 8,5. Should I size these the same? Someone said that the new hyperlites are ”bigger” and you should size down?
We would suggest staying with the same size you had, which was also a newer skate with the new fit system.
I have bad lace bite on my current Bauer Vapor x3.7s. Would these skates stop the lace bite?
Hey Russell,
Lace bite is mostly commonly caused by an improperly fitting boot. While the Hyperlite Skates vary a bit in fit compared to the X3.7's, you'd probably benefit from switching over to the Supreme line of skates which accommodate a bit deeper foot.

does the new hyperlite 2 fit the same as the old hyperlite? or is it a little different? someone tried both on?
Yes, these skates will have the same fit.

@@purehockey thanks, ended Up with buying the HL2 in 9,5 Fit2. This was the only skate between the Brands and lines that fitted 👍
hello! Stiffer then previous generaton ?
The stiffness of the HyperLite 2 and HyperLite will be very similar. If you're looking for something a little less stiff, try out the X5 Pro.
since this is built with agility in mind over the supreme line's powerful stride improvements, would a player with already long and powerful strides benefit from a skate like this to try and improve their agility? Or should they be looking to get more out of their stride with the supreme lineup?

They are quite snazzy!
Bob look like bobrovsky ngl
We'll take that as a compliment!

Is this a commercial or what?
This is not a commercial. It is our product review.
The outer sole does not have denser material in the heal part lol it's softer and more flexible than the carbon in the front part !!
