M.I.A vs Nikebauer

[hyprlte 0]

so the time has come for me to get new gloves and im looking into MIAs or Nikebauer SDP 4 roll pro glove. The main thing is my palms.. i go through palms like crazy and i spoke to the mia rep and they said they would work with me to get a palm that is more durable than a stock pair of gloves. My question is will the nikebauer glove have a thin palm like the xxx's or will it be stronger? and second will the nikebauer sdps be a better overall glove protection wise? or should i try out mias? i dont mind spending the money as long as i get what i pay for.

do a search..

there was some controversy with mia coming on the board, trying to discredit some of the negative reviews it got on here...

Go with the MIA's. There are many options for you to choose from with regard to the materials to make the glove. I have mine about 7 months now. Awesome glove, great service. I couldn't be happier. They cost me 160.00, which is a little high though. You may get them cheaper if you choose not to upgrade every aspect of the glove.

Sup man did you receive yous stick yet?

Anyway i am the owner of 2 pairs of MIA glove.I did have XX glove before that.And IMO if you go trew golve palm a lot either of them are good.The only thing i see different is that the Palm on NBH glove are sometime made with the most comfy (again IMO) spandex kinda palm.

On MIA you will have nice palm and you know that you can change them to the same they had the 1 st day you had your MIA.That is the only turn off that i see.

On a side note i tryed the one90 glove of one my friend and i flet in love with them and i might get one pair.

ITS ALL ABOUT PP.But both are nice looking.

i have MIA's and XXX's and i love them both.. i like my MIA's better slightly only because of my name & # on them.. otherwise they are both excellent gloves..

how have the palms held up on them?

[MissConduct 1]

MIA's have a hole, XXX's are ok but MIA's are about a year old, XXX's about 3-4mths (4-5 times a week of hockey)

MIAs for sure, I have Vapor XXX's (great glove) but doesn't wear to well,

go for carbon MIAs wear great, look great, feel great,

also try the kangaroo palm, best feeling palm in the game

The NBH Pro glove has a different palm than the XXXs...it's that old Dura-Soft palm.

Poly inserts throughout the glove as well. Much more protective than the other glove in comparison.

is there any big changes in the bauer sdp to the nikebauer sdp aside from the logo?

[mack 44]

It's basically been without change for 10+ years.

[TBLfan 25]

if they going to offer a SDP pro, as in with the double palm; the NBH might work well for you.

kovalchuk uses them

MIA's been on the North American market for a couple of years now. Just another glove imported from Europe/Russia. They've been using them for a while over there. Not a bad glove if I do say so myself, remind me of Louisville/TPS gloves.

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

Dude, they're a Canadian company. There's Russian money in it, but a Canadian company nonetheless.

Our hockey club ordered them for out Bantam AAA and Midget AAA teams. Too bad they didn't get them last year or I could of tried them out, but I am intersted in ordering some.

after reading up on the nikebauer sdps... it seems like they will be way better protection, and for about half the price or mia's. i mean i think its cool to have your name on your gloves, but not for $210

[Rangers 14 0]

a teammate just got a pair of M.I.A's

i tried them on and i have to say... the best feeling palm ever

i think its cool how u can order everything urself and pick everything

its all in your hands to pick what u want... name, number, etc.

I have both MIAs and Vapor XXXs as well, and I love them both. The palms on the MIAs are really sweet...they use two layers of meterial in the middle of the palm and the thumb where the most wear usually occurs. I went with the Carbon material MB33 14", and got my name on them as well. I also went with the pro package, which adds all the plastic inserts...worth the extra money.

The XXX is really nice and light, but boy, the palms get hard and dry awful quick. I am anal about my equipment and dry my stuff out after every wear.
