NB 4 Roll Gloves

Recommended Posts

Holy shit there big!

I can't get used to them. Anyone else having this problem or am I just hating the new equipment adjustment. I wear 14" in my Bauer Supreme 3000 gloves but there old. These just feel gigantic.

They were a bit pillowy coming from a pair of tighter Missions, but I'd definitely buy them again. Maybe you should go down to 13s? I had to go down to 14 from my usual 15.

Do we not try things on before we buy? Oh, that's right, no one likes leaving their house to do anything anymore.

Sell them to a teammate if you don't like them.

What if the dude didn't have them available at his LHS to try before he buys?

Sorry to slightly stroll off topic.

Are 4 rolls known for a tighter fit? I currently have Easton S11 13" and feel I could almost make better use of a 12.5"

Any recommendations besides going custom?

They fit much like an Eagle X-70, just a little longer in teh wrist. The Vapors fit tight.

The NBH Supremes are tight. The Vapor XV and XX are tighter than the 4-roll but not as tight as the supremes. The Vapor XXX is tight as the XV/XX in the palm but has a huge cuff flair.

I was about to get them on hockey monkey, but I tried them on at the store. They fit all right, but there was way too much protection, way too bulky.

I ended up dealing with the front desk and got some Eagle x70s.

Same boat as you but, you have to give it some time and get use to it or there just not the right size for you. I have tryed them on many times and, now saving some $$ for these bad boys. They are bulky but, feels amazing when its broken in as I have heard from my friends! good luck.

Didn't want to start a new thread so:

I bought a pair of these over the weekend, I tried them on and in the store they felt great. I tried on 13, 14 and 15's and the 14's felt best (coming from XV's in 14" also). I get home and put them on and grab one of my sticks and i notice a great deal of discomfort with my top hand (right hand, shoot left) pinky finger as it comes down on the top inside wall right on the stictching. Now I know this happens sometimes as I've had it this way with some gloves and I know gloves need to be broken in a little, but this was really uncomfortable. I havent had ice time yet but I've been using them outside in my driveway to get a feel and no matter how I position my hand it's still really uncomfortable. When I put my left hand on top as if I was shooting right it feels fine so it makes me wonder if it could be short or a bad stitch, or will this just go away with time? I might wear a band-aid on my pinky for the first few times lol, I also tried puttin elastic around them in a closed position like a baseball mitt, has anyone else had a problem like this with gloves? did it go away or did you have them altered or did you just get new ones?

just has to do with breaking them in I believe. When I had mine I had some rubbing, just suck it up for now it'll be gone.

english...

same problem... the 4 Rolls run wayyyyyy big.

I was a 13 in vapor iv and eagles.... and I got a 13' in NBH 4 roll and they are HUGE.

I took some cushion and inserted it under the stock cushion.. to give it a tighter fit. it worked like a charm.

yeah the finger length was good for me, maybe even a little short on the pinky but it'll take some getting used to as far as volume in the finger area, I may even look into some cut and stitch repair but we'll see. If they had the look of 4 rolls with the vapor fit theyd be gold for me but what can ya do

yeah I just have to deal with the gloves. I'm not good enough that I need amazing $200 gloves.

and about the cushion I don't think that will help me. I love the loose fit, but the fingers are too long. I go from stickhandling and take one hand off the stick and the fingers will scrunch up when trying to grab the stick again.
