| Review: |
Period of Use says 3 months, but I've only used them for about 2.
I can certainly understand why people might love these gloves, at first. I did when they were fresh out of the box. I still use the gloves everytime I play, but I'll have to get a new pair soon. This is why...
Design - The design of these gloves is great! They look cool and they are user friendly while new.
Foam Padding - There are foam inserts used in the palms to create, not only a cool design, but also to assist with protection. After one heavy day of use, and couple of superman dives later, the inside fabric layers of the gloves came loose and a few of the foam inserts feel out. Not a huge deal, because the fabric of the palms is very durable for sliding, but kinda cr@ppy since these gloves aren't even 3 months old.
Finger Cutting - I cut off the index finger and the middle finger halfway down on the right glove. After reading other reviews and peoples' comments about the double stitching, I thought, "GREAT!" But after cutting the fingers, I found that the mesh was no longer supported to the rest of the glove. I broke out a needle and thread to fix that issue.
Plastic Trimming - There is cool plastic trimming used on the back of the gloves to cover the back of your hand and fingers. They really don't have a use, so it doesn't really matter that a couple have fallen off. But, again, kinda cr@ppy since these gloves aren't even 3 months old.
Comfort - I love the comfort of these gloves. I like the mesh for a little bit of air circulation, but wish it were better put together.
Thickness & Protection - These gloves are great for folks with sweaty hands and that's why I like them. As far as protection goes - there really is none. I don't expect them to be as thick as football pads, but just want to let readers know. Also, I've got a nasty black & blue bruise on the inside of my palm, from this past weekend, where I was shot from about 30 yards away. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I'll probably have to replace them next month and just use my mountain biking gloves. $55 - I'd say try them on for the feel, but don't expect protection, just comfort.
I gave these gloves a 7, because for the price I would have liked it if they lasted longer and maybe added some protection. |

| Review: |
these gloves are very comfortable to wear and do not make your hands feel hot and sweat. The bottom has a lot of padding for sliding as well as the back of the glove. The fingers are easy to cut because of pre-sewn "cuts" already and all you have to do is cut that rest of the fingers away and if you want, apply a bit of Fray-Check or Frayblock from wal-mart and apply to the mesh on the sides of the fingers to prevent fraying. |
|
| Conclusion: |
These are a bit expensive but you get what you pay for. 10/10 |

| Review: |
These gloves are simply the best i've ever tried on. They are extremely comfy and provide great protection for your hands. Mesh located in various places on the glove make if extremely cool to wear. No more sweaty hands like some other gloves give you. They provide very tight feel and re-enforced fingers so they're very easy to cut the fingers off. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I give this product a 10 for its supreme feel and protection. |

| Review: |
These gloves are the best I have played with. They are tight on your hands so there isn't any excess fingers, they make it easy to still walk the trigger without cutting them. I've had these for 8 months and haven't cut the fingers off yet simply because I don't have to.
The way these are made with the mesh between the fingers allows for fresh air and less sweaty hands. Reducing the amount of times you take them off and overall giving you more time to play and stay comfortable.
The only bad things about these gloves is that recently when I played I noticed something black on my fingers from the inside. I took my gloves off and there was an oily substance on my finger tips and bottom of my fingers. I turned the glove inside out and noticed the leather (or whatever they are made of) looked as if it was melting on the edge. I found this odd because they haven't been hot, I mean I played with them all through summer and they didn't do that, we were playin in 40-50 degree weather when this happened. The next day of playing I noticed it had gotten worse, and some of the glove on the outside was doing this on the knuckles, and in other random spots where the leather stuff ended. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great gloves. I give it a 9/10 because of the price is a bit high, and mine are melting or something. Other than that, they are perfect. |

| Review: |
These gloves look and feel amazing. There is tons of breathability, so no sweaty hands. I had a friend shoot me in the hand from about 5 feet away and no bruise. Amazing and extremely comfortable. Only thing is the $45 price tag. Some wouldnt pay that for gloves although they are that good. I had no promblem paying that for a pair of gloves like this. High quality as well. At first seems like it constricts your movement for semi but if you use ramping your fine. But if you mess with them enough you can easily get used to them and walk the trigger as if your not wearing gloves. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Bit expensive but if you have the money, get em. Very nice and cool look. Very comfortable. Get. |
