tyler33 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Product- Eagle x70 gloves.Background- 5'8 165 pounds, centre.Fit- These gloves are loose fitting, which I like. They have a lot of mobility, and room, they feel really good. There very easy breaking in, as it only took me a couple ice sessions to do.10/10Protection- They have quite a bit of protection but not too much. I think its the rigth amount. I have gotten slashed a couple of times all over the gloves and it hasn't bothered me. The only times it really hurt is when I got slashed in the wrist, but thats where all gloves least protection is.9/10Weight- Weight is not that big of a factor for me, but these gloves are pretty light.9.5/10Durabillity-I have used these for a whole season and there still in good condition. The palms got a little hard, but thats no big deal. The only noticable thing is theres a couple of black marks on the leather. No cuts or anything.9/10Intangibles- These have got to be the best gloves I have ever used. I like the leather palms I got on my eagles better than any other palm I have had.10/10Overall- These are my favorite glvoes by far, I am going to stick with eagle. There great gloves. There a little bit more money than other gloves but its worth it.Overall Rating-9.5/10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have a great fit with excellent mobility and arn't packed with pretection but there is still enough.Overall Rating-9/10 would have gotten 10 if the palms were still there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EBondo 232 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 Product - Eagle x70i gloves5 foot 4, 115 lbs WingerFit - When I tried these gloves on, the first thing that came to mind was wow, I couldn't believe how comfortable they were. These were definitly the most comfortable gloves I have ever laid eyes on, so I had to get them. Now I have had them for about 5 months, and I wouldn't change to another company 10/10Protection - Protection was without a doubt a plus on my scale, except for the shorter wrist section of the glove. Otherwise, I had not had any problems, they aren't too big but aren't too small, perfect size. 9/10Weight - Weight really isn't that much of a factor to me, but they actually seemed lighter than a lot of teh other gloves I had tried on. 9/10Durability - I've had them for 5 months now, and the only thing wrong with the glove is that there is a minor hole on the thing on the left glove. Otherwise no wear whatsoever. 10/10Intangibles - Nothing that I could really find. 8?/10Conclusion - amzing glove, definitly top of the line, I would definitly get a pair if you are willing to pay the price(109.99US). MY view in my books is a 10/10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 Product - Eagle x70 gloves5 foot 11, 202 lbs DefenseFit - I had a pair of X70s before I got a good deal on my HBBAs. I love the fit of the X70's, they just seem to work with my hand. They are loose which I love and just seem to flow with me. 9/10Protection - I've been using these gloves for over 2 months now. In games they haave only seen in-line, but they have been fantastic. No injuries, couple shots and scrums along the boards, I generally don't have issues with this though. 8/10Weight - I don't ever notice a difference in weight of gloves and this is no expection. I guess it's a little lighter, but nothing ground break, at least not to me. 8/10Durability -I got these used and they had a nick or two on them, and have got maybe a another since then, but thats bound to happen. The palms are holding up well (knocks on wood). 10/10Intangibles - The fit for me just seems to flow, thats the main point that I find with them. They don't limit me at all, and it just becomes a part of me almost. 8/10Conclusion - I got these at a great price, they are beautiful gloves. I have no complaints for anything, I do not know if I would drop huge retail cash (or custom for that matter) on these, but I am not in competitive hockey anymore. I may play competitive roller, but thats only a 2 month season. For my purposes these gloves have gone above my expectations and given me everything I ask for and more. 9.5/10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fonya 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2004 Product- Eagle X70Use of Product- 1 YearFit- This gloves are loose fitting compared to other gloves on the market. I really like them for this reason because i dont like my hands feeling restricted in a tighter glove. (10/10)Protection- These gloves have good protection but nothing over the top. They are doing their job though because as a defenseman I have blocked shots and have been hacked with no injuries. They do have a smaller cuff compared to others.(9/10)Weight- When I buy a glove I dont look at weight but these gloves are very light. (10/10)Durabilty- These things have taken a beating and the only thing to show for are some stick and puck marks. The palm is amazing and has lasted longer than any other palm I have used. They look brand new after 1 year. (10/10)Intangibles- Aside from all the great features these gloves also have a wide range of colour combinations which is a big plus.Overall- These gloves are amazing and I would recommend them to anyone. I havent used anything better. The only reason why I didnt give these a 10 out of 10 is because there is always room for improvement. Overall Score- 9.9 out of 10.

mik3 1 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 Product - Eagle X70Background - 6' 165lb Roller Hockey DefensemanLength of use - 2 yearsFit - A loose glove, was quite a change from the Quest 1 gloves I had previously. Took a little big of getting used to but it grew on me, especially liked the mobility in the wrist without sacrificing protection. 8.5/10Protection - They get the job done, taken many a shot/slash to them. 9.5/10Weight - Although I don't get all hung up on equipment weight, these gloves have no real "bulk" to them. 10/10Durability - After two years of heavy use I'm finally seeing signs of breakdown, and it's in the fingers, not even the palms. Though I can attribute this to the 14"s maybe being a bit long for me, so my fingers rub in a weird spot. 10/10Intangibles - Between the simple looks, and numerous colors available, it made this glove an easy choice.Conclusion - Although I didn't pay retail value for these gloves, I would say they're worth the 135usd or so you'd pay for them nowadays. 10/10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
