Custom Glove Material

My team is getting custom warrior gloves and i was wondering which material is the best to get. Tufftek, Carbon, or Normal. Thanks Guys. :)

Tufftek is usually preferred, but it is also about personal preference.

yea...i had carbon gloves this past year and did like them, but had heard that tufftek was better thanks

The question is how long do you want/need the gloves to last? Is each person paying for their own, or is the team picking up the tab? If you're not worried about durability Tufftek for Sure. But if the team is looking to get a few seasons out of the gloves, I'd look into the leather options.

I have found tufftek to be very durable.

Carbon is typically not very durable, particularly in roller or at least that's what I've noticed.

[Gummer12 134]

It depends on how you care for em, and level of play and surface of play. Yeah, I agree the Carbon is less durable than typical Syn Leather. I don't have much experience with Tufftek itself, so I'll take your word on it.

What colors as well? Some just aren't available in certain materials.

I have Tuf tec gloves and the are not as durable as carbon. It rips alot easier. Leather is great but heavy and soaks up water. Tuf tec looks the best and is most popular but I would go carbon. Light, doesn't hold water, doesn't rip easily. Only bad thing is its shinny. IMO

What tufftek gloves do you have?

Easton nylon(not-poly) doesnt hold up as good as others. Eagle tufftek is very good. Typically nylon wears at the edges of the plastic inserts.

Leather tends to have the painted top layer wear off, they end up looking rather ratty with cracks in the surface and the missing painted areas.

we are all buying our own gloves (it is just cheaper to do a team order) and personally i am only looking to use them for one season

If you want really tough gloves, get 1000 Denier Cordura. That stuff laughs at abrasion.

I have noticed that anything PU leather that has been heavily embossed tends to 'flake' on the surface and loose its coating faster than ones that are flat, or lightly embossed. Applying any sort of a pattern to the synthetic is going to weaken the fibers.

I dont know how similar they are to Warriors, but the tufftek Eagle uses is very nice. I would prefer it to synthetic leather or carbon.

I have vapor xxx and 4 rolls. Eagle's ppf or Warriors franchise is my next glove, can't comment on there tuff tec but good friend of mine has custom warriors in carbon and they are holding up much better than mine. My tuf-tec has rip in thumb and on roll from slash. ICE

I've had Vapor XXX's, and the shells tore in several places pretty quickly. That material seems to be a little weaker than Eagle's Tufftek.

Tufftek puts a smile on my face....Carbon gets my attention for a look

Fair points mate - I was being a wee bit facetious with that recommendation. I had half a mind to throw UHMWPE fabric and armadillo hide out there. :)

It's funny about the lack of sublimation in gloves & pants. I know in theory there's a stigma against it looking 'cheap' and 'European', but some of the best-looking stuff I've ever seen was dyed that way. I absolutely loathe heat-transfers, but most makers these days seem to regard them as necessary evils.

I went tufftek with carbon accents, any of the materials really seem to last awhile. Carbon tends to get marked up quite a bit easier though.
