Review:
When I play, I'm all over the field. I play back, mid and front and these gloves are great for all of it. When playing back and having to hold lanes. The flexibility of the gloves allows me to shoot at my prime so I can hold lanes for my front players.
For mid playing, they have great protection on the palms for diving and still that flexibility to be able to shoot without being uncomfortable. Usually paint filled grounds make your gloves oily and tough to hold anything. The sticky pads on the palm help with this a lot to insure you always have a secure grip on your marker.
Front playing is really where the protection comes in. I'm a chef and I need my hands. Front players take the hits in the hands and with the protection these gloves offer, it's rarely a break and very painless.
All in all, great gloves if you can still get the 05s. If not, grab 06's, they are the same but they look better.
Conclusion:
If you like the look. Pick em up. I got the 05's for like 30 bucks Canadian. Final verdict is 10/10.
