Seen as one of the best brands in the business, their products are trusted by some of the biggest NHL stars such as Alexander Ovechkin, Henrik Lundqvist, and Patrick Kane. They produce helmets, gloves, sticks, skates, shin guards, pants, shoulder pads, elbow pads, as well as goalie equipment.
They split their products into three different lines: Supreme, Nexus, and Vapor. Each l ine will give top level performance but each is suited slightly differently to different athletes. Your stick is very important to you, it can bring you the glory you crave on the ice by scoring that last-minute winner or making that crucial tackle in your third.
Therefore, making sure you have the correct stick for your style of play is crucial. The Vapor line of sticks is ideal for the player that excels with nimble puck handling and quick-motion shots. Having a low kick point Vapor sticks shine in one-timers and snapshots. For quick and agile puck handling take a look at the Vapor 1X stick here. Bauer Supreme sticks are engineered to give you the most powerful shot possible.
Designed for the player that likes to send rocket slapshots or full motioned wrist shots where the puck is pulled back before being sent forward. Having a high kick point the Supreme stick maximizes power transfer to deliver extremely powerful shots.
The Vapor 2X Pro skates are some of the most popular skates in the NHL — the season will see plenty of these on the ice. The reasoning behind this is the fit. Vapor skates have a tapered fit, meaning they have a standard-shaped toe box and a very snug almost glove-like heel.
The CCM Tacks line provides a high level of boot volume and stiffness, which will accommodate higher profile feet with a more anatomical fit. This means there is a little more room in the boots, but not as wide as the Nexus skates are.

Published: 24 May, The Vapor Flylite is ideal for the crafty player that excels in puck handling and quick-release shots. With their low kick point, Vapor sticks really shine in snap shots and one-timers. Supreme sticks are geared towards players that like to wind up and get powerful slapshots or take full-motion wrist shots where the puck is pulled back before being sent forwards.
The Supreme 1S is currently the only stick that brings players RenewCore technology, which is a permanently liquified gel in the blade that fills cracks and keeps the blade feeling "poppy" for longer. The Supreme 1S maximizes energy transfer in order to give you the hardest shot possible. Bauer Nexus sticks are ideal for the player looking for a balanced feel with effortless release and deadly accuracy. The Nexus stick family has a big "sweet spot" in the lower-middle part of the shaft where the stick will flex just about anywhere the lower hand is placed, resulting in a powerful shot almost every time.
While some might think that all gloves are generally the same, Bauer's three lines all offer a different fit and comfort level. Like the skates, Bauer Vapor gloves provide a tapered fit, which means the gloves are the most snug in the fingers and backhand and are looser in the cuff areas.

The Supreme line of gloves also has an anatomical, or contoured, fit like the skates. This fit is more snug throughout the glove in order to eliminate any negative space, which in turn provides faster response times and more hand protection. Bauer Nexus gloves have a classic fit. They are loose fitting all the way through and offer the greatest range of motion.
They have a traditionally shorter and wider cuff and are not snug anywhere. You can probably sense a trend forming here. Let's look at what this means in relation to body size and skating style. Bauer Vapor pants are tapered, which means they are more snug in the hips and looser towards the knees.
The wider fit near the knees will offer more range of motion and the tighter fit in the waist will keep the pants securely in place without a need for suspenders. Here you can see the wider fit in the knees of a Vapor pant on Claude Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers.

Supreme pants also come in an ergonomic two-piece design with an adjustable padded girdle for protection and removable outer shell for team customization. The slimmer fit of the pants stay snug in the waist and offer the most protection with their negative space-free design.
Nexus pants have a similar style as Supreme pants, except they have a "straight but wide" classic fit instead of the "straight and narrow" anatomical fit. The Nexus pant fit is actually based off of the older Supreme pant fit One95 era , so if you are looking to replace those old Supreme pants that have been in your bag for the last decade, then look no further than a pair of Nexus 1N pants.
Now, every player gets to choose their own performance profile and their optimum fit. Now that you can fit in Supreme and Vapor skates, you may be unsure how the Supreme and Vapor skate collections differ to each other, and which to choose.
Let's take a look at how the skates are constructed differently to suit these different playing styles. Helps to promote a full range of motion for maximum stride length and power output.
