The Bauer Supreme 3S Junior Hockey Skate is the newest member of the Supreme family. Following Bauer’s new fitting process, the 3S will be a skate that opens up options to all foot profiles to find the right skate for you!
With the focus on explosive power and control, the 3S comes with other upgrades that you don’t want to miss out on!
Boot Construction/Stiffness Profile/Sizings
Bauer has constructed the Supreme 3S with the focus on Performance level hockey players. The 3S skate features Bauer’s Fiber Composite with Motion Flex Technology material. The Fiber Composite with Motion Flex Technology Material used in the 3S is used to provide good stability into the skates while offering great ability for ankle flexion. Comfort Edge Padding compliments the top of the boot to reduce bite when performing stops, starts and aggressive tight turns.
Bauer has introduced a new feature exclusively to the Supreme line, with the flex of each skate geared towards matching the flex of the boot to the player's skating abilities. On the 3S Junior hockey skate, the flex profile is stated to be 45 flex points with added Flex Motion, where its bigger sizes in the intermediate range are stated to be 60 flex points and Senior range are stated to be 70 flex point. With this flex profile integrated into the 3S boot, this will provide increased range of motion, heightened lateral and torsional stiffness which translate to the highest form of energy transfer.
In the Bauer Supreme 3S Junior hockey skate, Bauer has stayed with the traditional fitting style which would fit a mid foot profile shape. It will not be until size 4 that the new fit story will come into play. The 3S will be offered in sizes from 1 to 3.5 in both widths of D and EE.
Tongue
Bauer has styled its 3S tongue to keep the main focus of comfort and performance to ensure stability and flexibility. The tongue includes a 40oz. felt base with mesh inserts on the face to provide protection and comfort against lace bite and also gives the tongue spring in your stride.
Liner/Internal Padding
The 3S comes out of the box with a game day ready comfort before heat molding. The 3S features the Hydrophobic Microfiber liner to provide grip and moisture management for peak performance. Pairing with the Hydrophobic Microfiber, Bauer has upgraded the internal foam to AeroFoam memory foam which delivers a pillowy soft comfort while providing a snug ankle wrap.
Steel/Holder/Profile
On the 3S Senior hockey skate, you will be geared with Lightspeed LS 1 steel. This steel comes with a step up from stainless offering glide, strong edge and a smooth finish. This season, you will receive a Power Profile which will only come when you buy the Ultrasonic. Bauer has built a strong working relationship with ProSharp and believes the Junior Specific Profile (13’) suits the Supreme 3S Junior skate very well. You will maximize control, balance, and stability with ease of use for beginning players.
The holder used on the 3S junior skate is the Tuuk Lightspeed Edge with quick release trigger system. This holder is the number one holder used by NHL and professional players everywhere.
