I had to laugh at myself today, All my new RBK equipment is labeled on some part as Jofa, so must be RBK took over the whole Jofa line. Actually looking at the old gloves, they are almost the same pattern as the old jofa's. Anyhow reason I had to laugh is, by name alone I would have never worn or used any Jofa items ( except maybe shoulder, elbow and shin guards). Now that I got my new equipment, I have found it to be more comfortable than anything I have used before. So the moral of this story is, dont buy on name alone, you may be missing out on something good. On a side note my friends old Jofa pants, I did like and they seemed comfortable and there's really not much difference between them and my 5k's. Anyhow sorry to get off topic, but I got a good chuckle out of it. Casey
