Bauer Vapor FlyLite Youth 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 a Fiber Composite Pro boot now available in youth sizing as well as an upgraded pro stock tongue, Digi Comp outsole, memory foam ankle padding, and Fly-X steel.

Skate Fit Profile

The Vapor Flylite Youth skates come in sizes 8-9 in full and 10-13.5 in full and half. The Flylite youth skate is only available in the D width.

Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile

Bauer has made the Flylite skate with a Fiber Composite Pro boot, a design that excels in offering support without stiffness. This construction allows skaters to feel more steady on the ice while promoting forward flexing motions to benefit elite youth players.

Liner & Internal Padding

The hydrophobic liner in the Flylite works to keep feet dry during play as well as working with the comfort edge and memory foam padding to provide a comfortable skating experience.

Tongue

Bauer has implemented a 40oz pro stock tongue in the Flylite youth skates, an upgrade from the previous Vapor line 30oz pro stock tongue used in elite youth skates.

Steel/Runner/Profile/Blade Holder

Fly-X steel is used in the Flylite skate as well as the LS Pro II holder.

Toe Cap

The Flylite Youth hockey skate uses a standard toe cap, which both looks good and feels great. This style of toe cap will also provide plentiful space for young players toes as they grow.

Insoles

Mid-density foam is used in the insoles to provide a solid foundation without sacrificing comfort.

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.
