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.

Hockey Player Skate Sizing Guide
When sizing for the correct size of a skate, we always advise taking the measurements below from a sitting position and not standing upright. Additional weight on your foot/feet can skew your result and misrepresent your foot size. The reason for this is that as you put your full weight on your feet, the arch of your foot will collapse and cause your foot to appear wider or longer than it actually is.
As well, please be aware that skate sizes and shoes sizing do not match exactly. As a general guideline, skates size 1 ½ sizes smaller than shoes.
It is ideal for a player to have a tight, snug fit both in length and width as this will provide the best performance and durability. If a skate is too big you will feel your feet slide around and you will not get the full performance out of the skates and can also develop calcium deposits - Haglund’s Deformity or “Bauer Bumps” for lack of a better term although this issue doesn’t only occur with Bauer models.
An Ideal Fit: Stand with your skates laced and your heel snug in the heel cup. Your toes should just barely feather the end of the toe box. Bend forward into a skating stance. Your toes should pull back slightly from the toe box. Once heat fit, your foot should slide back into the foams of the skate and the length you felt in your skating stance will more-or-less become you standing size.
To obtain the measurement above you will need a soft tape measure and a pen. Start by placing the tape measure flat along the ground in a straight line. Sitting in a chair, place your foot down with the longest point of your foot (usually big toe, or second toe) in line with the edge of the tape measure. Make sure you keep your weight off of your foot. Take a pen and mark the tape measure where the edge of your heel ends. Record this length in cm. This measurement will correspond with the sizing charts in each brand below, if you do not see your exact measurement, select the size with the next size increment above your measurement (i.e. you measure 24.9 cm, you would select 25.1 cm or Size 6).
Sizing Children for Growth Room: If you are purchasing skates for your child, it is common and usually recommended to add some additional room in the skate to increase the last, we recommend no more than 1 full size. Feet stop growing around ages 15 – 15 ½, and from ages 14 - 15 ½ we would recommend adding only half (1/2) a size in length. Follow the same measurement instructions as above, once you obtain your true size move up ½ or 1 size.
***Sizing of skates is very preference based and these measurements will not guarantee a fit that is right for you. Please use these as general guidelines, for the most accurate fit we always recommend getting measured by a professional skate fitter at our store or your local pro shop.***
