Nylon Sande 980s

Those blue ones are awesome looking, I am really thinking of getting them rather than the CP95's I was looking at. Do you really think that the trigger finger affects your game?

Personally, I thought the trigger finger was terrific. I just didn't like the gloves around it. I also think the Sandes are a little overpriced for what you get especially considering the service issues people have had with them.

Get cp95s you won't regret it.

Sorry, but you'll soon find out white nylon gets scuffed/marked WAY more than leather or synthetic leather.  You will find that they are freakin puck/tape/dirt/dust/stain MAGNETS.  It's the only thing I don't like about both pair of my mission nylon gloves is that the white nylon gets dirty fast.

I have yet to find anything that really gets the stains out of white nylon. I've tried shout/detergent/etc but nothing really gets it out.  Only drawback of nylon (white anyway).

PS those gloves look GREAT

Really? I heard on the old board that nylon was much more durable towards scuffs/cuts and not as much puck marks either. I knew there was no way around the stains and stuff though...

Cuts = yes

dirt/puckmarks = no

It really depends on the color though... white it's just more evident. White synth leather marks up too, but not as bad as nylon. If you've got a black nylon glove you won't see any of the marks/dirt and the nylon doesn't scuff like leather.. it doesn't have a first "layer" to peel like the synth leather/real leather does. But synth/real leather doesn't absorb puckmarks/dirt, you can just wipe it clean whereas nylon it's next to impossible to get it off.

At any rate, there are drawbacks to both. Nylon is a better material in my mind, but not for cosmetic reasons. Especially white.

If I had known that before I ordered them, I would have gotten regular leather...

Next gloves I want are gunna be nylon, for sure. They are lighter, and break in easier.

Why don't companies offer Top-end gloves in Nylon? It seems most of the Pro's use them, I'd definately like to try out a pair. It seems kind've odd that a company wouldn't produce them at a retail level.

I have a funny feeling it's because most people think that nylon is cheaper, like less durible and stuff.

TPS Cable Knit HGT

Hespeler Classic Lite

I remember when I played on a Bauer-sponsored team and some teammates refused to accept the gloves b/c they were knit.

[Dan_The_Man_16 0]

I'd take those HGT's in a second! People think they know stuff and they are so stupid! BTW, what team did you play on?

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

My college team was sponsored by Bauer.

[Dan_The_Man_16 0]

Did you play NCAA?

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

Nah. I played CRHL. College roller.

Still, thats pretty sweet. Good job!

I want to play CIS so bad. When my highschool team had a tourny at St. Mike's college, there were some Canadian U scouts there, it was pretty sweet, I was the only grade 9, I played good too, got some comments from other coaches.

The only way that you can play CIS is if you play in the Junior first. One of my friends only played junior a and he is always getting benched so.

Yours aren't white though.

Used them for the first time today. They felt a little big at first because they are longer than my old gloves and they have much more room in them. I felt like some people feel about Eagles, that they're "swimming" in them, and I didn't like that much, but it wasn't terrible either. I thought these would be a tighter fit than they are. I can't comment on the Trigger Finger yet because it seemed like I need to break it in more and get used to it more before I say something good or bad about it. Nothing got noticeably dirty either, so that's good.
