The Easton Pro Hockey Gloves are based off a traditional 4-Roll design and are ideal for advanced to pro level play. A stand out feature is the new angled cuff roll design, which significantly increases wrist mobility while maintaining a high level of protection. The natural inclination about traditional style gloves is "wideness"; however, the internal structure provides a comfortable fit that designates enough movement without the loose feeling. The Easton Pro Hockey Gloves are a solid upgrade from the Easton Total Pro glove, which is simply last years EQ Pro Glove.
Easton’s Pro hockey gloves have a lightweight nylon shell that delivers two fundamental components; the breaking in process is reduced and quicker drying time. These notable characteristics provide players with a nice out of the box feel that requires minimal maintenance. Finally, a glove that doesn’t have to be aired out always! The outer shell consists of ergonomic segmentation and multiple-density foams that offer comfort and a high level of protection. The flex points are aligned with your hand; therefore, the segmentation is engineered to provide a natural functional design. This type of padding formation disperses game time impacts, which means more dangles around the defenseman and higher goal scoring percentages.
The durable black Nash palm is meant for high abrasion resistance, which reduces the wearing down of the palm and provides players with an exceptional stick feel. This results in a enhance feeling that allows for a tighter grasp; therefore, ensuring a strong and more reliable shot.

Previous Feedback
Comments: I have mixed feelings about these gloves. They have unbelievable comfort and protection. These gloves are built like a tank. Plastics everywhere and under the cuff roll is even a hard piece of foam for protection. They are snug for a tradition fit but I like that in a glove. I switched from a bauer glove. Why I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is for three reasons. They are a bit heavy. The video says they are light but compared to Bauer APX or TotalOne these are a bit heavier. Reason 2 is the palms. These palms are super soft on the inside but I found that the outsides have a strange feel when gripping the stick. Maybe its just me but it bothered me. The third and final reason is the thumbs. They are super long and stiff but Easton made up for it by extending the flap thing so you can still get a great grip on the stick.
Conclusion: Definitely buy these if you are looking for a high end glove with great protection!

Comments: These are the best pair of gloves at the $100 price point on the market in my opinion for these three reasons. 1: Great palm. 2: Durable. 3: Great feel. I've owned the Easton Pro Gloves for about 5 months now, playing at least 2 times a week and they've been awesome. I ordered the 14'' based on my old Bauer 4-roll pro and at first they seemed small which concerned me, but after about a month they broke in and now fit much
better.
