The Epoch Integra goalie glove has a one piece palm and seamless fingertips that are innovative and provide a really granular feel on the shaft. We really liked the wrist roll back mobility and the overall soft and supple feel of these gloves. The big story is really the flexible carbon fiber material. Epoch is known for producing the highest end, most popular carbon shafts on the market and now their engineers came up with a pliable and flexible carbon technology that makes these gloves stronger than steel, but soft and lightweight. Protective thumb piece is beefy enough for high school and collegiate play.
