Hockey Protective Equipment - Product Reviews

cadam - (March 22, 2005) For the price this is an excellent glove. I play in a mens rec league and it is more than adequate. The glove is very comfortable and breaks in very well. There is normal wear (after 40+ games). The palm has not worn through in any places, only one spot with wear breaking the surface of the palm, at the base of one hand. I would not recommend it for rep level hockey or those in a league that is very rough and has a lot of slashing, as the protection is not too robust and in some areas very thin. 2 piece fingers give good mobility. Palm is sensitive enough, do not loose much feeling through the palm.

Cubster97 - (04/01/2007) Quicker than Velocity 2's but stiffer in the knee & thigh area. Epic skate drive strap works exactly as advertised - driving pad quickly to the ice forming a solid wall along the ice. Faster than Velocity 2's but not as comfortable in the shin area. Temper foam in the knee & Shin area work well & better than Velocity 2's. Non-adjustable knee stacks does not allow you to customize 5 hole area like Velocity 2's. Very stable along the ice in the Pro-fly position.

syama2 - (11/11/2006) After the second use in a hockey clinic, the seams started to unravel and the left shoulder piece came off. This isn't the only Easton product I've had trouble with. Poor customer service. Won't buy Easton again...
