Gloves with "open" grip?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of gloves which have a naturally open grip? I'd like a glove that lets me open my hand easily to pick up dropped sticks, pucks, etc., and also because I switch from holding the stick one or two handed sometimes. I find that most gloves prevent me from opening my hand easily because they're naturally curled to grip the stick, notably at or towards the fingertips. Also, I find the "excess" material at the index finger on some gloves keep getting in the way because I find them naturally very closed gripped.

I'm currently using '02 Mission Warp Zeros that has that open grip. Any ideas on alternatives?

Of all the gloves I've used, I've felt that my Eagle x70's were the loosest, both in fit, and in grip.

Give it a try at your LHS, it just gets better and better as you break it in.

I have to agree. the X70 is an amazing glove which feels incredible from the get-go and does gradually loosen up and get even more comfy (which is hard to believe...you think its great when new). The X80's and 90's are a bit stiffer.

our trigger finger provides that ease.

Actually, I thought it felt more like it would wrap around the stick. Seemed to push the finger away from the palm more. I could see why it would grip better but that runs counter to being more open.
