I'd check out the Bauer Supreme line. Especially the newer ones with the AMP system. My son has been in his for awhile now and really likes them. He likes the low profile stuff as well and came from CCM Jetspeed shins from a season or two back. The Vapors definitely sit more on top of the leg. The Supremes are deeper and give you more wrap, but are ergonomic so give you a pretty low profile.
Personally I really like the CCM Tacks and don't find them heavy or bulky, and they should give a similar fit compared to his Reeboks.
