I noticed that the xxxx gloves pros are wearing right now don't have the white striping all over the glove that's found in the 'retail' xxxx pro.

hence "pro stock" compared to "retail pro stock". I have always found that there is always something different between them.

We got them in last week (I'll try and send in some photos soon)

They run smaller than the past Vapor line (XXX, XX, XV). I wear a 13" XXX, but the 14" XXXX is a better fit for me.

Excellent padding on at the pinky down to the wrist.

The Flyers (Carter, Coburn, etc) rock the XXXX's with white striping.

do these have an adjustable cuff like the previous vapors??

[VakarLajos 5]

no. the only part that is adjustable is part of the exterior cuff that can be lowered or raised. It's sewn in and you adjust it by moving where it the velcro patches meet. Only on the XXXX, not XXXX Pro

Like the XX v's the XXX with the adjustable wrist strap. XX had it, XXX didn't.

[VakarLajos 5]

I would equate the XX:XXX to the XXXX:XXXX Pro. The differences between those two sets is pretty much equal.

Whats the difference in the Pro model and the regular model? the regular one looks better to me.

Same as the XXX's. Retail Pro Model had 3 stripes while the actual Pro Model only has 2. I have owned both and only noticeable difference in the palms. Overall fit felt the same.

and what does the other glove have?

Leather, dual layer nash palm w/ absorb pad, and an adjustable cuff.

Only downside I can say is protection - you can feel it if you punch the top of the glove with your other fist. But then again, there have been tons of high-end gloves that weren't very protective. Get the regular XXXX if that concerns ya.

does that mean the retail XXXX are more protective also?

[TBLfan 25]

both models are retail.

[yipperzz 28]

oh ok...sorry i meant the regular vs. pro. is jr saying the regular xxxx is more protective than the pro?

I think so.

They come in black / white (with the stripe) and Black (no stripe)
