Bauer Vapor FlyLite Junior Hockey Skates

Intro & New Features

Bauer has revived the Flylite line for 2025, and skates have been added for the first time ever to commemorate the occasion. The Flylite Hockey Skate is the newest addition to Bauer’s Vapor line with notable innovations such new Fusion tech, which has been incorporated in the quarter package, facing, and toe cap. The skate also features the Powerfly holder with Fly-X steel as well as a 48oz pro stock tongue and a Digi Comp outsole.

Skate Fit Profile

The Vapor Flylite Junior skates come in Bauer’s D and EE Fits, which are available in 1-3.5 in full and half size increments.

• D = Regular Fit
• EE = Wide Fit

Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile

Bauer has created an all-new boot construction in the Fusion Curv Composite material and Fly tendon. This construction has increased abilities to store and transfer energy while flexing with the foot. Vapor line skates have their flex point in the lower portion of the skate, compared to the Supreme line, which flexes in the upper portion of the skate. A lower flex point is achieved in the Vapor line by maintaining a stiffer upper point and a softer, more reactive lower point. Paired with the Fusion Curv Composite, the Flylite skate helps players shift their weight quickly and provides a responsive skating experience.

Liner & Internal Padding

The Bauer Vapor Flylite skate comes stock with the Lock-Fit Pro liner. The lower portion of the liner features a grip material that keeps your foot from moving when taking strides, while the upper layer has been designed with a soft material that conforms to the foot without compromising performance. The skate also features Aerofoam Pro padding in the ankles for a comfortable fit in an elite package.

Lacing System

A key upgrade found in the Flylite skates compared to previous skates in the Vapor family is the Fusion Flex Facing. Bauer has built five flex notches to increase the forward flex in the skate, while improving side-to-side stability and energy transfer to the stride.

Tongue

Bauer has implemented a 48oz pro stock tongue in the Flylite junior skates, an upgrade from the previous Vapor line 40oz pro stock tongue used in elite junior skates.

Steel/Runner/Profile/Blade Holder

The Bauer Vapor Flylite Junior skate comes stock with the Fly-X runner and the Powerfly holder. Bauer has designed this holder to adapt and respond to every skating move by focusing on three areas: the front post, the back post, and the hyperbolic bridge. The stiff front post increases energy transfer in every stride, while the flexible back post delivers faster side-to-side motions and aids in quicker pivots and transitions. The hyperbolic bridge optimizes balance and power to help make you unstoppable on the ice.

Toe Cap

The toe cap found in the Flylite skate is the Fusion Connect. This toe cap has been designed with a rounded forefoot geometry, which enhances the fit and comfort of the skate while offering more consistent loading of energy.

Insoles

The stock insole of the Flylite skate is still Bauer’s Lock-Fit Pro, which combines comfort with good control in the sole. Lock-Fit is designed with additional grip along the sides, so your feet can stay locked in place while you skate. This design also ensures you don’t lose power on the stride.

Graphics

The graphics on the Flylite skate include a black look throughout the skate. On the side and back of the skate, Bauer included the Flylite logo, surrounded in White and silver accents to give the skate a similar look to the Hyperlite2. There are also hints of Blue and Purple to further enhance the look of this skate.

Sizes

The Bauer Vapor Flylite Junior Hockey Skates come in sizes 1-3.5 in a regular width (D), and wide (EE).
