beerleaguecaptain 1001 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 Has anyone tried the Mission Fuel 130 gloves yet. I saw a pair the other day and they were so light and cool looking. Any thoughts on this product line? I've never been a huge Mission fan but these look like a winner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zac911 317 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 there are lots of reasons to change your thinking. the 130 glove has done exceptionally well in my territory and in speaking with other reps has done the same in their territory. its not just the 130 glove that is changing some minds this year though!

LkptTiger 1 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 They're certainly some of the lightest gloves I've ever slipped into. Really, really, really nice mitts; they're very comfortable and seem like they would hold-up pretty well. They allow for excellent mobility/range of motion - almost like you're not wearing anything at all. My only complaint would be the layered palm/fingers...if I were to rock 'em, I'd have to have them repalmed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're so much better than the other Fuels that they should have a different name. They're in my top three of gloves that are currently available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If word ever gets out, Mission will have a winner here.Biggest mistake I made this year was not ordering a pair for myself earlier. Everyone else in our shop is sporting them.

andoe22 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 I've had them for about 2 months now and have loved them from day 1. No break in required. No other top of the line glove from any company this year compared. 4 guys on my team have them too and they all love em, one who's been an Eagle glove snob his whole life.

cds 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 Definitely thinking about picking up a pair of these when they are available here. Anyone else have thoughts/reviews of these?Looks like Tyutin is wearing a modified version, they look sick.http://cache2.asset-cache.net/xc/80515094....30A760B0D811297 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beerleaguecaptain 1001 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 Great responses.. THANKS!!! I have the NBH 4 Roll now and I love them, rock solid! The problem is I have small hands and I'm swimming in the glove. THe only thing I have to get over is my (and everyone else on my team's) perception that Mission is a roller hockey company.

I, for one I'm looking forward to checking out the Fuel 130 glove. I've been trying to get my hands on a nice pair of nylon pro M-1's, but the eBay gods hate me lately....

I was just at my LHS and tried on all of the upper level gloves they had and nothing compared. I'm probably gonna take the plunge on them and screw other people's opinions!!!!
