The CCM Vector 8 hockey gloves feature a nylon exterior offering excellent breathability, durability, and light weight. CCM has used premier foams for protection including EPP foams in the fingers and backhand. EPP foam is a very light foam that offers great high impact energy absorption. Often this foam is found on high-end helmets. CCM has also put a plastic insert in the cuff roll which is a nice touch.
CCM has used what they are calling an anatomical backhand design. This results in a more form fitting glove, offering a contoured fit. This reduces some of the negative space in the glove ensuring that the glove responds to all hand movement. The Vector 08 glove also has part of the cuff attached by elastic with the goal of increasing mobility. What this does is it allows part of the cuff to rest closer to the wrist offering better pad coverage without sacrificing much mobility in the process.
The V08 glove also features a soft liner that runs the length of the glove to the end of the fingers, resulting in a very comfortable fit. CCM has also applied a anti-microdial treatment to the palm and liner to reduce bacteria build up, working to tame the distinct smell of a hockey glove.
The CCM Vector 08 hockey gloves features a similar design to the Vector 10 glove with a nylon exterior.
