Previous Feedback
Comments:After a couple of games, the palms and fingers seemed to break in. I love these gloves now. I came from using Warrior Bully pros, and prefer the wider fit of the Bauer 4 rolls. Classic feel, no frills glove. Been using for two seasons so far and the palms have held up. No issues yet.
From: Dusty
Comments:Going from a form fitting glove to the 4 Roll's I found it very loose and sloppy at first. After breaking them in over a few games I found them to be comfortable with as much range as you could imagine. I would suggest testing them out before getting a pair though as for some may be an acquired taste.

Comments:It took a little while to break these in, but once I did they're great. Great protection and mobility and extremely comfortable.
