Looking for gloves similar to fuel 130...

Recommended Posts

I am currently in the market for new gloves and wondering if any of the new mission gloves are similar in fit to the fuel 130's. I see monkey has pro stocks but i'm skeptical on those since who knows what i'm going to get. I would love fuel 130's in 14" but haven't found them. thanks for the help.

the retail(13") are more comfortable than the pro stock pair i bought (nj 13"). The difference is in the palm, imo. The palm on the retail is several different layers and has a softer feel. The pro stock had a single layer palm of nice material not sure i think it's microsuede, but after several uses i found the palms started to wear creating little balls on the interior of the palm. The palm also stretched slightly (approx 30 hrs on gloves, no wonder these pros get their gloves redone so often!). Overall I found the fit of the retail to be a bit more snug as well. I paid approx $215CDN for the retail and something like $80 for the pro stock. You can buy 2 prostock gloves, and get one repalmed for the price i paid for the retail. Imo the pro stock is better value simply for the fact you can buy them and get them repalmed for about half of what they went for retail. If you can find a retail pair for around $120 or so i would just get those. hope this helps! worse case just buy both!
