Nice review, straight to the point! One thing I don’t agree with personally is the comment re Bauer constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation since the overall skate design hasn’t radically changed since the introduction of One95 a decade ago, which was truly a revolutionary skate. Now all Bauer seems to add is minor gimmicks and cosmetic design changes, most of which don’t pan out nor have noticeable performance improvements. While CCM and True moved on to a one-piece boot design years ago.
Hey there thanks for the feedback. I was mostly talking about say the tongue changes, inject lacing, hyperlite cut outs, carbon runner, and mx3 and higher surpreme lines tendon guard flex styles. But I hear you on some of the gimmicks. I have yet to skate in a ccm boot with the one peice, I’m going to soon so I can compare to Bauer’s and see what I notice for differences. Once again love the comments and appreciate the engagement!
I started with the supreme ultrasonics.... after 3 months ... they deformed the ball of my foot on both feet.... ouch.. I was able to return them and tried out these hyperlites... Wow... such a better fit (same size and fit from the ultrasonics) and the hyperlites have a wider toe box and narrower heal hence tapered fit. I ditched the laces and run the usual ULTRA wax laces and also am running black step steel. No issues. I did crash into the boards and peeled off a little bit of the heel area of the boot but thats about it. Regarding outsole durability, yes, it is not great great... but it is still good. These skates feel great and are a nice step up from the usual Bauer line. Still not a 1 piece boot... but still improved and stiffer. I got the ultrasonics in april and exchanged them out in July when these came out. Luckily, my foot is only a 6.5 fit 3 so I was able to take advantage of $699 price tag and the the added pulse ti steel. I sold the pulse ti steel and bought 4 sets of discontinued black step steel and love it love it love it!
that forward flex feature with the cutouts is the most intriguing feature. i like a deep forward bend and it's always a bit of a tradeoff in how you lace your skates. i can't go to the top eyelet on my old One95's which 13 years on, remain an incredible skate and perfect fit.
Great review, I work at a sports store and have this theory that they test out new R&D on the Vapor line, collect the feedback and trickle the "tried and true" features over to the Supreme line...but I could be wrong haha Also I feel that the actual profile of the blades makes the biggest difference! Cheers!
i had a not so good first impression because when i was trying it on the boot was so stiff it was hard to tie the skate but my dad got me a pair that sold for pretty cheap (cheap for a top end skate) and it was more confortable that i expected. i love that the toe cap is very low and has very little negative space. i still dont like the tongue because it does not flex where i would like it to. i dont see a difference with the plastic outsole/hyperflex outsole thing
I just ordered custom from pure hockey. Paid 1,334.45$ hope it will be a good skate. I skate on AS1 CCM I love them, purchase two pairs last year. This year want to add Bauer. My final skate purchase. I think three pairs enough.
speaking of steel and holders, i've just received my Marsblade i2's in the mail and they will go on this week. excited to see if they live up to the hype. a very reasonable price to experiment with, you should try them.
Keep me posted. I always thought a flexible holder that the steel moves in would cause loss of energy transfer not gain but interested to hear your take
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews i have the same concerns, i'll let you know after i get adjusted to them. they also claim to reduce fatigue (lots of equipment sez this!) which would be welcome at 55. we'll see.
@James Brant I just ordered the same Marsblade holders and plan on putting them on my Hyperlites. How have they been for you? I am beginning to have second thoughts on putting them on my Hyperlites since they already flex at certain points and think that the Marsblades might feel weird on a boot that flexes as you use them.
I find clinching these skates very difficult. The salesperson told me that l shouldn't pull the laces straight up because it may break through the carbon fiber. Well, trying to get them tight enough pulling sideways is nearly impossible. It's a pain!
Never heard of that before. I find these are the easiest skates to wear because of the injected eyelets. Wish I could help but don’t fully understand the issue. The eyelets are supposed to be easier to tie and wrap.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews The salesperson for Just Hockey said it would cost me something like $250 (or was it $350?) to replace the entire carbon fiber side if the lace ripped through an eyelet. Weird, mainly because this bit of info doesn't seem to be common knowledge.
@@bw9627 depends how old they are. Should be warranty for sometime. I’ve had no issues with injected lacing and I’ve been running it since it was introduced on the 1x.
Hi , i am gaming the vapors 1X lite 2.0 and wondering if these are worth the upgrade ? The are still super stiff in good shape but a bit of a gear geek that likes new stuff . Great job on the reviews!
I went from the 1x to the 2xpro to the hyperlite and I enjoyed the hyperlite most in terms of comfort and just feeling like a really streamed lined skate. Is it gonna be an “upgrade” depends what you define and upgrade. It’s a better skate for sure but not by light years. Skate to skate each year has very minor differences
Thank you for making a video. Quick question if the carbon fiber blades didn’t break how would you rate them? I’m thinking about purchasing a pair for my 10-year-old daughter who plays travel and rec. Thank you
I enjoyed the weight and performance. Since your daughter is only ten she probably does not weigh enough to break them as I did and you are probably ok.
Would I be Safe to assume that if I can fit in a 3x pro that I can fit in a hyperlite? I was able to try on the 3x pro in store but if I got the hyperlite I would have to order them. Thank for the great review!
Switched to the nexus 2n skates after a week because I don’t like this skate as much. I want to start a hockey review channel and do a review comparing the hyperlite and 2n skates
I always use a fit 3 7.5 as my feet are sore from my rheumatoid arthritis so from a fit perspective that worked for both Mach and hyperlite. I prefer a bit of space
I saw the carbon runner as an issue from the get go. Especially if you play hard and are over 200lbs. Now watching this only confirms my theory. Stick with the PULSE TI.
Did you try ft4 pro yet? I was a vapor guy my whole life, then went Mako (which fell apart) then ft2. Toe box was cramped giving me pain, so I went custom True... Now I'm finding some spots on the skate are coming apart are just 2 years. Thinking about going back to jetspeed but seeing your review makes me think my foot could end up back in a vapor again someday.
Yah I’m the end still like the hyperlite skates. I just think best to find a 2xpro for way less money for more or less the same thing. I’m contiplating and Ft4 or 100k as my next skate to use/ review as I will mostly focus on new releases moving forward ( supreme Mach ) but can try and get a review out for a skate in between. Ah the mako, every mako user just loves those skates I still see them on sharpening line ups just destroyed lol skates are probably even more subjective than sticks so it’s definitely something you want to be realllllly sure of that’s for sure at 1500$ for these hyperlites
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews would like to see your review of 100k and ft4 pro. Makos we're crazy comfory once broken in but they had almost no durability and if you took a shot off skate.... Easily end up with fractures in foot.
@@zacharymilos392 yah I heard they were like slippers but seems the durability was a challenge. I’m working on getting those two skates I just have to be careful as I allocated a specific budget for this channel and gear as a start up so just need to stay within that until I grow as I need.
@@zacharymilos392 I agree it’s why I started this :) eventually I want to review everything no matter what it is but since it’s self financed just gotta start slow
Thank you very nice video. I am a new skater and I did purchase a pair of Hyperlites but selection in my size was hard for me to find. I am a 6.5 fit 3 so I get the $150.00 off senior pricing. My background was roller hockey but just kinda died in the last month where I live. So my question is the shop where I purchased my skates actually gave me a good deal but recommend a flare style blade do I want to try this or go with 3mm blade pulse II.
Thank you, yes. I am aware this is an older review, but believe it or not- it’s still relevant! The model is not ancient and some second-hand gear is available in great condition. Thanks again for sharing your impressions.
Unfortunately I am not. They will break very quickly. They did not do enough testing on it to determine the carbon lynchpin, the pc that goes into the holder will break quickly and render it useless. The good news is when it does they warranty it
Yes the durability on them Is questionable right now. For skates I will do long term update videos in the future so we have a final look. Right now I’ve had them 4 months
Am quite nee to hockey and looking to buy a better pair of skates a can do most of the turn’s Stops transitions now, just woundering about my next set of skates stiffness heard people say beginners will find it difficult to skate in stiff skates what’s your thoughts on this ?
I just restarted playing in November and started with entry level skates. I've been skating/playing 4-5 nights per week and they're starting to get pretty beat up. I'm looking to move into a higher quality skate and just saw that the Vapor line is on sale with the new model releasing in July. What do you think about the Hyperlite now on sale before the 2023 comes out? Currently $700-800.
I’m back in hyperlite. I kinda address it in a video coming up on profiling. It helps me skating a lot the forward flex. For that price you cannot go wrong
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews Tried them on and my stupid wide feet don't work with them. The Machs felt significantly better but since I wasn't planning on buying them I held off. Watched your other videos on those skates as well.

The Bauer marketing also doesn't fit with who I am as a player so I was hesitant and wanted to do a more thorough check. Sounds like it's just all marketing anyway.
Not much changes on the hyperlite vs those. Although I do like the flex on the hyperlite. The hyperlite 2 is basically same skate so you’re probably good
@@MrTapsa. skating back to back hardly any differences. The holder is a bit stiffer and tongue more comfortable. Is it worth it for beer leaguer to go 1200$ for the 2 or on sale 700$ for hyperlite 1? Probably the latter
i have tried on 3x pros and the hyperlites, and the hyperlites have a much better fit (at least for me). 3x pro’s were loose around the ankle and had a tiny toe box while the hyperlites were snug around the ankle and had the perfect toe box size. Also the hyperlite lacing system was/is much better it’s easier to tie especially around the ankle at the top but you wanna bake both skates nonetheless probably. this is just my personal opinion.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews cool. I use the marsblade runners and been trying different hollows. Went as shallow to 3/4 but going back to 9/16 or 1/2. I also like to try different equipment. Enjoying your vids.
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews so I started with the gen 1 which were heavy and just upgraded to gen 2 which are much lighter. I think sharp turning is easier and tighter. I like them a lot. If u have extra skates it’s worth the experiment.
@@wattsup4800 yah it seems so fringe but would love to try them just like never take the leap of faith. Maybe when I get new skates I’ll throw some on the hyperlites to try since I’ll be moving the the Mach surpreme in the summer
That chunk out of the side is probably because of some fucking stupid “eco laws” cuz the 2xpros don’t have this problem, but the new 3x, 3xpro and of course hyperlites skates do (my teammate uses the 2xpro skates)
Skates are definitely subjective as any hockey gear. I tried to give all pros and cons. I’m the end I mention going 2xpro is better option due to cost and overall “technology” in the skate does not change much.

Less ability to do ao

I was editing late, ill check. appreciate it.
Do you actually think there is not a difference in supremes vs vapors. Because there seems to be some notable opposing tech in the two. Interesting 🤔

mx3? total one? they tried it.
They had aluminum versions back in the day yeah garbage
Why are you paying $1,500 for these skates? Lol.
Why not? I have fun reviewing gear.
I paid $850, and 100 for runners
