The FlyLite LE Hockey Skate is a limited-release, exclusive colourway available only while quantities last. Bauer’s newest addition to the Vapor line includes notable innovations such new Fusion tech, which has been incorporated in the quarter package, outsole, facing, and toe cap. The skate also features the Powerfly holder and the ability to choose between Bauer’s top-performance runners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSkate Fit Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Vapor FlyLite skates come in Bauer’s Fits 1, 2, and 3, which is a concept that debuted in 2020. This was a great innovation, considering how the three lines, Vapor, Supreme, and Nexus, all historically had their own fits, despite performing differently. Now, those with narrower feet for example can enjoy the powerful stride enhancements that come with the Supreme line. Below is how the Bauer Fit System compares to previous years’ Bauer Skates:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFit 1 = Low Volume, Narrow width (closest aligned to the Vapor fit profile)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFit 2 = Medium Volume, Medium Width (closest aligned to the Supreme fit profile)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFit 3 = High Volume, Wide Width (closest aligned to the Nexus fit profile)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBoot Construction \u0026amp; Stiffness Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBauer 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLiner \u0026amp; Internal Padding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLacing System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTongue\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBauer has upgraded the Aerolite tongue to its third iteration, the Aerolite 3.0, which keeps the same lightweight foam core seen in recent high-end models with advancements made in the medial and lateral side comfort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSteel\/Runner\/Profile\/Blade Holder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBauer has continued with their Choose Your Steel initiative, allowing you to pick between the newly-released Fly steel options. This skate comes with Fly-TI, but players can use either the FLY-Ti, or the FLY-X blades. The Bauer Vapor FlyLite skate has the Powerfly holder, which has been designed 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eToe Cap\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInsoles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGraphics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe graphics on the FlyLite LE skate include a white and black look throughout the skate. On the side and back of the skate, Bauer included the Vapor and the FlyLite logo, also in white and black, as a part of their Limited Edition release colourway. The skate sees a \"paint speckle\" blend in from the black of the toe box to the white of the rest of the skate, while contrast on different areas are much more stark.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bauer Vapor FlyLite LE Intermediate Hockey Skates come in sizes 4-6.5 in Fit 1,2, and 3.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bauer","offers":[{"title":"4 \/ Fit 1","offer_id":43693655523394,"sku":"505758","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 \/ Fit 2","offer_id":43693655556162,"sku":"505764","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 \/ Fit 3","offer_id":43693655588930,"sku":"505770","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4.5 \/ Fit 1","offer_id":43693655621698,"sku":"505759","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4.5 \/ Fit 2","offer_id":43693655654466,"sku":"505765","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4.5 \/ Fit 3","offer_id":43693655687234,"sku":"505771","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 \/ Fit 1","offer_id":43693655720002,"sku":"505760","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 \/ Fit 2","offer_id":43693655752770,"sku":"505766","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 \/ Fit 3","offer_id":43693655785538,"sku":"505772","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5.5 \/ Fit 1","offer_id":43693655818306,"sku":"505761","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5.5 \/ Fit 2","offer_id":43693655851074,"sku":"505767","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5.5 \/ Fit 3","offer_id":43693655883842,"sku":"505773","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 \/ Fit 1","offer_id":43693655916610,"sku":"505762","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 \/ Fit 2","offer_id":43693655949378,"sku":"505768","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 \/ Fit 3","offer_id":43693655982146,"sku":"505774","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6.5 \/ Fit 1","offer_id":43693656014914,"sku":"505763","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6.5 \/ Fit 2","offer_id":43693656047682,"sku":"505769","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6.5 \/ Fit 3","offer_id":43693656080450,"sku":"505775","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/1585\/4658\/files\/hockey-skates-bauer-vapor-flylite-le-intermediate-hockey-skates-1254956934.gif?v=1787103941","url":"https:\/\/www.thehockeyshop.com\/products\/bauer-vapor-flylite-le-intermediate-hockey-skates-1","provider":"TheHockeyShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
