hamstercaster 2 Report post Posted July 5, 2006 Yesterday I went glove shopping after work. It was the second time in the last week I was going glove shopping and my mind was pretty much set on Supreme 70, One90, XX, XXX and XV. I had already tried quite a few pairs of different brands and although MIA and Eagles were confy, I did not feel like forking out 200$ Cnd or more after taxes which is why I had more interest in the Supreme 70 and XV. When I got there yesterday I tried them all again plus more brands I had skipped the first time around. I tried the RBK 8K, TPS HG 12 etc and as I had almost decided on getting the Bauer XV I saw the DR's in the corner and was like, hmm probably not even worth trying but hell I've been here half an hour already so I tried them on and liked them very much. I grabbed a stick and and stick handled a bit and decided to purchase them. Paid 97$ Cnd for them and the original price tag was 169.99$ Cnd. I'm happy with my purchase and will give these glove a thorough review once I've played a few games with them. Anyone else ever considered DR gloves? They don't seem to get much publicity here on the forums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbgordon 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2006 I have Ferland 7500 gloves and I love them. I've had them for many years now. I wish they were still around as I think DR actually bought them. Good luck with the gloves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

althoma1 575 Report post Posted July 6, 2006 I've used DR/Ferland Gloves for the last few years and still do...the original pair is still going strong and I liked them so much I picked up a second pair when I found a good deal on them. Mine are newer style models with the index and middle fingers split in three - the newer pair is the DR HG1455. They were affordable, comfortable and light and are holding up very well...I have no complaints or regrets about the gloves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
