Bauer Vapor XXXX vs Eagle X65

[Hammers44 4]

I recently just got the opportunity to try on both pairs of these gloves and see which one I liked better. Price wise their the same and they both have a pretty nice fit for me. Anyone have any experience with these gloves? Palm wear? Not becoming to stiff over a short period of time? Any help is appreciated.

XXXX Pro or regular XXXX?

I had the Vapor XXXX Pro and found that the nash leather palms dried out rather quickly. Especially in the dry winter air (I store my gear in a heated basement).

The Eagle X65 has the MSH2 palm, which us superior. I have had my PPF's with the same palm for a year and have only recently noticed any crusty palm issues and they are very minor.

I tried the X65 on and thought the fit/quality was not very good. The Vapor XXXX Pro is a high quality glove although it is not the most protective on the market.

If you liked the way the both fit AND are concerned about the palm the most - get the X65's.

They are just the vapor xxxx. I'm leaning more towards the eagles after reading that and some other reviews. I also just saw some TPS R8 pro knits for right around the same price. Anyone have experience with these?
