For Vapor’s 25th anniversary, Bauer is looking to upgrade the Vapor line to the best it can be for the speedy, agile payer. The Vapor X5 Pro is the next upgrade from the previous 3X Pro and offers a wide range of high-end features. The Youth variation uses a fibre composite pro boot with a fibre composite pro youth quarter package, and Comfort Edge lining material for a truly comfortable skate.
Skate Fit Profile
The Vapor X5 Pro Youth skate comes in 8-9 Full sizes only and 10-13.5 Full and Half sizes. This skate is partially moldable and only available in D (Regular) sizing.
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
The Youth X5 Pro hockey skate incorporates a quarter package made of fibre composite pro material, which offers a lightweight and durable construction. This material provides just the right amount of stiffness and responsiveness to allow for efficient energy transfer on the stride.
Liner & Internal Padding
The Youth X5 Pro hockey skate is equipped with a hydrophobic liner, specifically designed to repel moisture and keep the foot dry and comfortable throughout the game. Additionally, the skate features a comfort edge on the ankle and memory foam throughout, ensuring a plush and cushioned fit that minimizes discomfort and friction.
Lacing System
The Youth X5 Pro hockey skate incorporates a traditional lace facing, offering a familiar and time-tested method for securing the skate. With this traditional facing, young skaters can easily adjust the tightness of their laces to achieve a personalized fit, ensuring optimal comfort and performance on the ice.
Tongue
The Bauer Vapor X5 Pro hockey skates come equipped with a youth pro stock 40oz felt tongue, which is sturdy with exceptional protection against lace bite and impact to ensure maximum comfort and support during intense gameplay. Its design ensures a nearly professional-level fit, feel, and responsiveness, encouraging confident skating on the ice.
Steel/Runner/Profile/Blade Holder
The Youth skate is equipped with an LS Pro II holder, which provides excellent stability and responsiveness on the ice. The LS1 steel runner further enhances performance, offering superior edge retention and durability, crucial for younger players developing their skills.
Toe Cap
The Youth variation uses a standard toe cap, designed to fit a variety of young players looking to get into the game of hockey.
Insoles
The Youth X5 Pro hockey skate features a footbed constructed with mid-density foam, which provides adequate cushioning and absorbs impact, reducing fatigue during extended periods of play and offering a balance between support and comfort. The foam contours to the shape of the foot, ensuring a personalized fit and enhancing overall stability on the ice.

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.***
