bauer 4 roll finger length

Recommended Posts

Can you guys give any input on finger length comparison between bauer 4 roll and vapor line? i'm using hespeler glove 14" for inline and willing to buy 4 roll. But, many said that it has shorter finger. I've tried vapor on 14" and the finger is a bit short than my hespeler. Which size should i choose for 4 roll?

The bauer 4 rolls(not the one's that are not out yet) have pretty short fingers. I would say the current vapor line have slightly longer fingers than the 4 rolls, but are still on the short side

oh dear... its kinda weird since my hespeler 14" fit me well. Being unable to try 4 roll directly, it's like gambling over the glove. But will the palm stretch out a bit?

I guess I should clarify, I've only worn the old Vapor line (the XX). I've tried on the newer models (x:20/60, etc.) in the stores and they definitely have longer fingers and after paying attention to the finger length, the other gloves definitely have longer fingers.

I wouldn't go with the 4-rolls again. I found the fingers too short, the glove too loose, and the palms/glove itself is just soaked by the end of a game. My biggest issue would probably be the finger fit which I didn't really notice in the store. When I play, it feels like I constantly have to pull the gloves up.

If you can't try them on, I wouldn't recommend buying them. Gloves, to me, are something you'll notice don't fit quite right whenever you do anything on the ice.

I have both the X:60 pros and 4rolls in 15". The vapors' fingers are longer while the 4rolls are, not surprisingly, more roomy. I'd fit 14" x:60's but definitely not 14" 4rolls.

14" x20 was ok for me (had to squeeze a bit) but since i'm a volume fit guy, i guess i'll order 15" 4 roll then. hope the finger isn't too long. its weird that gloves has different sizing for the same size number.

I believe they'll fit you fine, if you only like the roomier fit. Like I said, 4-rolls are bigger (compared to the current Vapors) but the fingers are shorter.

So,the length between those two were significant in the same size?...however, does the finger also have more room than vapor? my hespeler has been stretched out(lots of volume), i wonder if that play some role in terms of overall fit.

There's not a significant difference in finger lenght but on my vapors my fingertips just barely touch the ends and on the 4rolls they definitely do. I wouldn't say the fingers have that much more room in 4rolls though.
