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.

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.***
