Lacrosse Gloves for Hockey?

[riotgear 4]

i randomly decided to be dumb and try using lacrosse gloves the other day in an open skate session and i was really impressed.

just wondering if anyone else has tried that or has any input. imo, the 1st hockey company to create a glove that feels like lacrosse gloves with the protection of hockey gloves will make a killing.

IMO the high end lacrosse gloves have enough padding for roller hockey. I used to use my old lacrosse gloves when i played street hockey outside. it really is the next best thing to being bare handed imo

I had thought that when I was looking at the warrior gloves

when I was much younger I did like age 10 now I just use my old lacrosse elbow pads. I like them better then any pair of hockey elbow pads I have had.

i still use lacrosse elbow pads too

i know a few guys who wear them, and they love them.

Ive always wondered too, because they are so flexible.

eventually im gonna try a pair of warriors.

the only thing that worries me is that there is no padding along the inside of your wrist. does lacrosse not need this padding? I dont know, i dont follow lacrosse at all.

Don't like lax gloves, but the shoulder and elbow pads are great.

The thing with the lacrosse gloves is because of the amount of cradeling the insides don't really need the protection, they need the movement. My brother wore slash sleeves under his lax gear...

You dont really need the padding there( atleast you didnt when i still played) you never really expose the inside of your wrist at all but there is always the chance that a stick or a ball could hit you there. i know some of the high end gloves used to include a slash gaurd on the inside of the wrist

Although Lacrosse gloves have a great feel, be careful. Lacrosse gloves normally don't have a molded Thumb. This is an important feature of hockey gloves, you will never see a hockey glove without a full protective thumb.

Yeah the thumb lock is waay underrated. Saved my hands more than once.
