Easton EQ50 Gloves

[MattKingDelToro 2]

I've been trying to find our more about these new Easton gloves set for release alongside the EQ50 stick. So far, I've been able to gather that people who saw them in person liked them and the price will be reasonable.

You're not talking about the EQ5 glove, are you?

People in the know (or at the MSH skate) keep mentioning these new Easton Gloves. We havent heard a name or anything like that yet... I want to know more also!

[MattKingDelToro 2]

Yeah, this new glove debuted in Easton's holiday/fourth quarter catalog. I'd be surprised if they updated the EQ line so quickly.

Try eastonhockey.com for specifics on them.

We did not see the new Easton glove in Toronto.

[noodle3872 40]

What glove could the OP be thinking of then?

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

There's a new glove, I just haven't seen it yet.

[MattKingDelToro 2]

Does anyone know the name of the glove?

EQ50 glove. Pretty nice glove. Kind of S19ish with se16 palm

[MattKingDelToro 2]

Wow, they already refreshed the EQ5 line? When are they going to release a quality pro four-roll? I think a well-made E-Pro selling for $150 would actually sell at retail.

The new Easton glove is up on icewarehouse. Easton EQ50 Glove

looks like a pretty good glove. I'm glad they got rid of that shiny synthetic material.

wow right after my team gets EQ5's. These look nice though if they're anything like the 5's I'll take a look at them.

[MattKingDelToro 2]

Like the nylon exterior. Boy, the EQ5 didn't last very long.

Haven't seen the actual gloves or the EQ5s for that matter but... I like the graphics, moreso on the pro version. The seamless index and pinkie fingers are a nice (albeit borrowed from TPS) feature. Since TPS gloves have gone downhill since the FFH palm disappeared and the shell materials changed, Easton might be a suitable replacement.

...or the Eagle X65...seamless MSH2..!!

I didn't want to dump my old question, but has anyone tried those...i'd like to know how those fit...hmm

Easton gloves have too much wrist protection these days and I really don7t like them.

And the cuffs are so narrow. It makes the glove look too delicate for my liking.

I'm not fond of that synthetic-leather-ish palm. It makes the glove stink(literally).

It's a mystery why they don't make a higher quality E-PRO.

What is so bad about the E-pro? I love it

[camhockey16 5]

Yeah I have them and love them too.

In comparison to the pro stock E-Pro, the retail version is far inferior. The fingers are very, very stiff, and the palm isn't as soft. For me though, the fingers really make it unusable. Of course, this is coming from a fairly spoiled glove user. For the price, it probably isn't a terrible value.

That is probably true then because I haven't used pro stock gloves and the gloves I had before I got the E-Pros were the Easton S3 so it was an improvement for me.

If you've ever touched a pro Easton glove, you'd be blown away how crappy the retail E-pro is.

I can imagine. They certainly aren't uncommon in the NHL. Why Easton doesn't make it available for retail i don't know.. What's with companies some times?
