Previous Feedback
Comments: Perfect fitting glove for me. Excellent range of motion and light weight. A bonus for me is they seem a little longer in the palm compared to older models. I feel it is more of a complete fit then before. Amazing grip with reinforcement where the butt end would rub. Should make these last much longer than the ones I have had in the past. Bauer has really come through!

Comments: I absolutely love these gloves. The mobility in them is great. With that being said they are still a nice tight fit to your hands. I was able to wear there immediately without losing a step breaking them in. I would highly recommend these to anyone.
