The Eagle PPFi Tufftek hockey gloves offer a great pro inspired design and fit, which is why they are refereed to as the Pro Preferred Fit. This year Eagle has extended the liner all the way to the end of the fingers giving the Eagle PPFi gloves a more comfortable fit than ever before.
The Tufftek exterior offers a great lightweight feel with good breathability and durability. Eagle has used plastic inserts throughout the glove to ensure a pro level of protection. The PPFi hockey gloves also feature a lock thumb to further increase protection. Eagle is using an entire MSH2 palm with new black overlays for an excellent stick feel and even better durability.
The PPF has a slightly different fit than some of the other Eagle gloves like the X95 or X89. The PPF is a little bit longer overall and has a little bit longer fingers. Thus giving the name Pro Preferred Fit.
The PPFi Tufftek gloves are hand crafted in Canada, for top of the line quality.

Previous Feedback
Comments: Got these on sale from IW. Initially was concerned with the fit as I had heard they run small, but it fits like a normal 13", albeit a tad snug compared to Bauer 4- rolls. The quality on these gloves are amazing and it is very comfortable, like slippers for your hands. The protection is top notch, plastic inserts all around. The best part are the palms, clearly a class above. Out of the box they feel somewhat broken in, some more usage and these will be even better. Wrist mobility is excellent and the cuff length is perfect for me. At the current price they are an incredible value. I will definitely be looking at Eagle again for my next pair of mitts.
