From: Bob
Comments: These are a solid set of gloves. I was a bit weary when I first got them because the pinky region of the glove fit a bit weird. However, after a few skates this issue was gone. The gloves feel better than ever now. The material used on the palms is great and has a good feel. Highly recommend (4/5) and the for the price you can't beat em.

Comments: I have these gloves. The first time they touched my hands I knew they were perfect. They are stylish and very light. They are durable and extremely protective. The lip that extends over the wrist has saved me from a slash countless times. Its a wonder my hand is not broken. After one use with these gloves, it felt as if I had been using them for months. They molded to my hand perfectly and they are the best gloves I have ever owned. I will never throw these away.
From: Joel, FL
Comments: Real slick looking glove, I have the Caps color scheme. Felt awesome the first 2x I used them, then after the 3rd session, after MAYBE 3 hours TOTAL on ice usage, the stitching between the palms and finger gussets has already ripped open on both hands. IW has already started to take care of me from a customer service side (thanks IW, always great service) but I am obviously not thrilled with the quality of what should be CCMs top glove. Maybe I got that 1 pair in the batch that was bound to be lesser quality, or maybe the glove itself is a subpar effort from CCM?
