TPS Glove question

Can anyone comment on how these gloves are THAT expensive? Is that a typo or something?

those have been up for a few weeks, they had a couple pairs of r8 lites too and they were the regular price... I didn't see a difference in the two. I have no idea why they are priced that way.

Because they are the "pro model." Pro-spec, and player embroidery/NHL colorway. It's a step up from the retail R8.

by "pro model" do you mean a higher level of a retail model? As opposed to a true pro return?

Thinner palm than the retail. Different graphics - no R8 logo on the cuff roll. Also, 50/50 porto/nylon. Not their EXACT glove but a different glove than retail.

thanks for the info, seriously is there anything you don't know? :P

Thanks JR, I assumed it was something like that when I saw 'Perry', "Nash', etc under the pull down menu there. Still a pretty ridiculous price, those better be one hell of a pair of gloves!

You can find them cheaper other places if you look. Hockeymonkey had the Perry's for $110. CycloneTaylor had others for $99.

that's about the price of the other R8 lite gloves that HG had that I mentioned.
