Comments: Very comfortable, fits nice and close to your hand and cuff moves for more protection. i really recommend these gloves, if you can afford more tho i recommend the bauer total ones or apx's
From: Simon, Canada
Comments: These are a replacement for old Bauer gloves. I have worn them for several months now for both coaching and playing. They have taken the abuse well and show little sign of wear so far. Break in took a few weeks but mobility is very good now. Protection is very good with thick padding all the way to the cuff. They fit my hands snug enough to give me good control. Would buy them again which may happen since my son keeps trying to steal them.
From: Byron
Comments: I love these gloves. They are extremely fitting for my type of hand and are very flexible, even before breaking them in. They have great looks and overall are very nice for this price range.
From: Sam
Comments: Just got these today in royal blue, from a looks perspective they are incredibly sexy. Great mobility with these gloves, don't think I will have to break these in at all. There is a lot of ventilation on these gloves so I think they will keep my hands cool while I play and really good for drying time. Overall I am very happy with these gloves and they came very quickly from IW
