Graf Gs ix gloves

[mnpucker 33]

I don't think this has been asked I searched and came up empty. Shopping for new gloves for my son and he landed on the Graf GS IX glove. Have to say for the price it is a pretty nice glove. I was reading up on them and in a couple places the glove is listed as heat moldable. Seems strange, I am not looking for miracles out of a glove baking but is this for real? The glove feels like the backside of the hand is a bit stiff, curious if that material softens to form to the hand?

Last question, how is the quality of Graf gloves I am only familiar with their skates.

Any help appreciated.

Can't speak on the whole baked glove concept, but I have tried on graf gloves (specifically the g500).

I have to say that I did not like it, however. In my opinion, there was far too much padding throughout the glove, and it was mostly of the low density / high volume variety. The result was a hot, cramped glove that didn't feel right on my hand.

Hespeler was doing heat molding gloves almost ten years ago. I'm not familiar enough with that Graf model to know what heat molding will do, but it does generally help with the break in process of any glove. Even if the there isn't any heat sensitive formable material.
