Bed89 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 I've pretty much set my mind on black as a main color, now hesitating between http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff243/I...h/Warrior15.jpgandhttp://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff243/I...h/WARRIOR10.jpgI have searched and read alot of discussion regarding outer material (tufftek vs carbon vs classic).Looks like most ppl would go with tufftek but I have been playing with leather made eagle X72s for the last 4 years. Will tufftek feel alot different? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Black Cuff...not sure if that is white or gold around the "Warrior" but if you can make it Gold, it would look really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should go to MIA and ask if sports gold is comparable to the one used on the ottawa jerseys.http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff243/I...h/Warrior20.jpgAre we talking dog years?There might be something wrong with what I said but I dont get it -_- (french canadian ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mickz 107 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 I've been saying on the same thing on here for a while now. Once you use Tufftek you won't want to use anything else. It's probably the biggest drug in hockey. Every glove you use after using Tufftek will have to be nylon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raygunpk 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 Just curious, how can some of you guys spend so much on gloves? Skates and sticks I understand, but what does a $150 glove to do your game compared to a $50 one?Okay, after getting slashed hard in both hands and really FEELING the pain, I realize why you guys get expensive gloves. I'll be looking for new ones as well. OUCH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
