Bauer XXX vs. RBK 6K

[warrior37 0]

i see the bauer vapor xxx gloves for $129usd and the rbk 6k for $94, both of the gloves have poly inserts, nylon exteriors, and nash palms. besides the xxx coming with an extra set of palms, is there any reason with quality or protection why the xxx's should cost a little more? is the set of palms worth the extra dough? thanks

I guess you're payin the extra $30 for the spare set of palms. I have a pair of 8Ks for ice and 6Ks for roller. I'd say go with the 6Ks, virtually no break in time and they have the air cool feature which works out nice for roller but my hands get kinda cold on the ice. :P

How good are the palms on the 6Ks? I know that I almost bought XXXs, but it looked like I'd rip through them in a week. I know they come with an extra pair of palms, but I'd rather not buy a glove that needs to be repalmed so soon.

I have the xxx's and I have tried the 6k's. I choose the xxx's over them due to the fact that the bauers just felt better in my hands. To me, they (xxx) were much more free flowing when bending my hands and what not.

On the extra $30, besides the palms, you might also be paying for the "special" exterior.

Try on a pair of L7's also. Great glove for the price.

Mine took about 5 1/2 months to get ripped apart, the palms that is. The nylon is holding up like a champ and most of the inserts are still in.
