bauer vapor xv gloves

[thefelixculpa 0]

how do these fit? tight or more loose? How comfortable are they? Instant break in?

I like the Vapor line of gloves. I have smaller hands and the XV fits comfortably close but without being restrictive. Break in time was almost instant - after the first time out it was ready to rock and roll.

I've tried the Easton 900 (looser fit), Sande Max Pro (way looser fit), Mission HE750 (much tighter) and I keep coming back to the XV and XX.

I have pretty big hands...mainly long fingers, wear size 15 and currently have really lose mission matrix gloves. looking for a glove that wont be a big change from these...are there any bauers that are looser?

The 4-roll gloves are way looser.

XVs are a tight fitting glove although not as tight as the current supreme series.

The supreme 70s and 90s are very tight you say? I am just wondering if maybe I should try something new and just get an xv or supreme 70 since both are same price range.

it seems to me that more gloves are tight than loose...is this because tight may be better?

i wouldnt say that its all personal opinion and there are alot of loose fitting gloves out

the 4 roll....how mobile/comfortable are they? I'm looking for that feel where you dont really feel any restriction period, just forget you are wearing them.

That could go to either extreme. I wear one70s that are so tight, that I don't feel any restriction at all. Its like wearing latex gloves. One of my friends plays with the loosest pair of eagles he could fine. He has the same idea.

I'd forget about the bauer xv's if you want to forget you're wearing them. They are tight and don't breathe well. I've had mine for about three months and they haven't loosened up much at all.

Go for the older Bauer 4 roll style or an Eagle/MIA if you can afford them. A cheaper alt would be Missions. I've found that they break in great.

Personally I like the supreme series. I'd recommend them but it's all personal preference, you just might not like them. The Supremes will fit tighter and be more streamlined and will also breathe better than the vapors.
