-Constructed with contrasting matte and patent leather for a unique look
-Elevated textured polyester fabric for moisture wicking and breathability
A kid on my team has these and when I looked at the thumb part I saw that the plastic is like bolted into the glove. You could probably take it off but the whole thumb would come with it.
i just got these and they r super comfy ecxept for the thumb cuz its stiff at first but after you use them a couple of times the thumb gets more flexible. i would definately reccommend these. by the way, they look SICK too
this kid on my team has these gloves for middie and theyre eating his hands and i dont know if its the material or if sumthing got in his gloves plz tell cuz i want 2 order these gloves real bad
what size should i get im 11 5 ft 85 lbs and i had 11 in meteors and theyre 2 small should i get 12 in or 13 in? i have 12 in hypnos and they fit perfectly but my season starts nxt spring what do u guys recomend? 12 or 13
These are possibly the best gloves to get! definitly get these very breathable and i tried them out as soon as i got them and they were so protective, during a session i got hit in the hand like 3 times and didnt feel a thing
with the K18s you cant move your thumb at all it will take a while to break it in. I suggest the Warrior Superfreak II. you can find them for $90 and they are amazing!
Had no complaints about thease until on day b4 practice i bent my thumb just a little and it snapped now I am missing the top part of the thumb. But other than that no complaints.
People should stop complaining about the inability to move your thumbs in this glove, as a keeper your thumb should only be wrapped around the shaft so you barely have to move it anyway, the thumb protector is amazing I've started to use this after a crankshot shattered my thumb and the protection on this glove is unmatched by anything I've tried, I would recommend this glove to any goaltender looking for a more protective glove.
i despise these goalie gloves so baddd!!!! fist thing i thought... wow these r small, 2 wow this thumb is so un flexible i could barely move my thumb a centi meter
Ok I bought these like 3 months ago and they have been amazingly boss since I bought them. They are extremely durable and very comfortable. I got the white gloves that look pretty haus with my sick flowverload. These gloves are a good price very comfortable and have great feel around the stick. Sick buy and can transform your game so you can become a total haus boss laxer!
i got them like year and a half ago amd they are not but the grip is nothing like you really need softhing on the shaft to get a good grip on it. i have the first K18 and i think its alot better
these are the best goalie gloves i have ever worn. The plastic locking device is pretty flexible, and it doesn't lock up so u can't like move it or anything. The gloves are fairly light and take like 20 mins to break in. I recommend these gloves to any goalies. They are a lot better than the Brine King II goalie glove. BUY THEM!!!
the D30 seems alot like silly putty. i mean silly putty is moldebul and bounces. it also stays stiff when you hit it really hard but is stretchy. D30 is probably just orange silly putty
I LOVE MY OLD K18S they were great and for the locking thumb you can just cut it at the hindges so u barley notice tht its there i cant wait to get these
i got the previous K18's before camp and at a tournament over the summer i took a shot 2 the hand and instantly broke my hand and now my mom wants me 2 buy a new pair of gloves 4 some reason but yea...
so the thumb seems like a hassle....it locks whenever it gets hit? do u have to like pull it out for it to be flexible again or how does that work...just cause it says it locks thanks
Ok I like my gloves to have a good amount of protection and I cant decide what glove to get. Ive narrowed it down to 3 and they are K18, Cells, and the superfreak 2s. Any suggestions on which one I should get?
