Oh neato

*70th post of the day*

This is a useless post, delete if wanted, but 70 posts in a day isn't neccessarily something to be proud of. And only girls brag about post counts.

That is funny...

and just to clarify....Mission was the first to use the Pro-Glo Material...Original Bilt-Rite Works gloves were available in Pro Glo....A few years before Eagle made it really popular....

yeah, i've got a couple pairs of bilt-rite pro glo gloves :)

damm i wish someone would follow me around like she did, as much as it seems like a stalker, it would make me feel famous or something :D

70 posts is probably too many. You really should make sure that your posts are meaningful, and that you aren't just posting just for the hell of it.

I can't say if they're the oldest, but Forte in Montreal was established well before there gloves took the Eagle brand name. Before Eagle, they manufactured for the other companies and still do mostly for the pro models. I did a project for Forte last year, so I'm quite familiar with them.

Hey GH_ID, does forte have any kind of website? I'm trying to locate info about them.

funny is was under the impression that Eagle coined the word pro glo,

I never saw it before Eagle used it in the 2000-2001 season (p.j.Stock)

it wasnt that popular here, we had to really sell a pair of lime green pro glo gloves

i was told by a rep that pro glo and the like were sticking to the boards a lot and causing a lot of dilocated shoulders and hurt arms. Mind you, the rep that told me that worked for a company without any pro glo style in their line
