The nylon exterior results in a lighter, more durable, and more breathable glove. Easton has used a single high density foam throughout the glove with plastic inserts in key high impact areas. They have also put plastic inserts in the middle of the foam in the fingers offering additional protection without sacrificing comfort or performance.
The traditional 4 roll design offers a similar fit to other gloves of the same design. Giving ample room in the backhand providing great wrist mobility. Easton has arched the foams in the fingers to naturally fit with a players stick. This gives a slightly different feel to the glove. The E-PRO uses a standard nylon liner, which would of been nice to see them use their bio-dri material to offer better moisture wicking.
