Previous Feedback
Comments: Really nice gloves, really light and seem super durable. The palms are super smooth and really give you great feel. Tons of room inside like with most 4-roll gloves. I
would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a new set of gloves.
From: Chris
Comments: I bought a pair of these gloves a few months ago. They fit great, they are very nice and light weight, and the very design of the glove gives a high quality look and feel. Stick handling feels nice because of the materials used on the palm, you get a nice feel for the puck. Durable glove, good level of protection.
From: David, Las Vegas
Comments: I had been using the Vapor line the past year but when I put holes in them decided to try out the new 4- rolls since I heard so much about them. They are every bit as good as the reviews. Super comfortable right off the shelf, very lightweight, very good stick feel. The new materials make them just as protective, but somehow even lighter than years past. After only about 4 games or so in them (the black/silver color scheme) I don't think I will ever go back to Vapors again. The palms are really soft and dry soft each time. I found the Vapor (retail) palms to be less than ideal after a few games. Aside from the great performace I have had so far, AT LEAST 1 person comments on them each time I have played. Our team jerseys are black anyway, so the gloves just match great.
