Eagle gloves.... Feedback?

Recommended Posts

i recently went in to my LHS and ended up trying on the eagle x95/x65 gloves... i found them to be the most comfortable gloves that i have ever had on my hand.... what i would like to know is your feedback on the gloves, protection durability etc.... thanks

If x95 gloves are anything like my PPFs, it should be a HUGE upgrade from your Bauer 4 rolls. I have them too and they're not even comparable in terms of comfort. The palms are much better too, MSH2 is pretty much the best palm material you can get. From what I understand x65 has a different liner but is basically the same thing, coud be wrong tho. Bottom line is, you can't go wrong with Eagle

X95 is a great glove. I know some people have varying opinions on the newer Eagle stuff, but I think it's a well made glove.

That said, if you do a Google Site search here (up at the top of this page) with the terms EAGLE GLOVES you will get:

I own several pairs of Eagles, mostly PPfi. they are awesome gloves and the MSH2 palm is my favorite. I even had my first pair of Warrior Franchise customs repalmed with MSH2 back when you could still do that. :)

Maybe I'm the minority but I don't like the feel of the Eagles anymore. I don't know whats changed since they were purchased by Vaughn but something seems off to me. I had 3 pairs of Eagles in the past and loved them. I got a pair of PPF's for Christmas and took them right back.

Love my 2 pair of Eagle gloves. CP94 and X70. Nothing has come close in feel IMO save the new CL gloves from CCM.

@Shoeshineboy, do you find PPFi's have very short fingers compared to a warrior franchise for example? Does it move at all after break-in?

no, compared to a 13N Franchise. if anything the fingers might be a smidge longer.

hey shoeshine,

A couple of weeks ago I got my hand slashed in a game, I wear PPF's and I thought the kid broke my thumb. Do you find that the custom warrior's offer more protection than the PPF's?

Is there going to be a review/discussion of the 2012 Eagle catalog? I'm confused by all the new PPF models.

We don't have a PDF version of the eagle catalog. We'll see what we can do to get one.

If this years Talons are anything like the 2011 model then no they are not exactly high end. I have a pair of Talons and PPFs and while both have plastic inserts and whatnot, they are less dense on the Talons.

I know Andy McDonald from the St. Louis blues wears Talons but I would think his glove is different from retail.

It looks like the Talon comes in three different quality levels now. There's a pdf of the catalogue on Eagle's website.

Ah, just saw. I'm guessing last year's lone Talon model is what the Talon 60 is based on.

I'm 50/50 on their 2012 range. Their shoulders look interesting though

Not a fan of the back roll graphic on the PPF's. If the fit is the same as years prior they will still end up being my next pair of gloves.

Have a few pairs of pre Vaughn PPF's and they are amazing gloves.Had a pair of post buy out and they were a bit stiffer and tighter.Still great gloves but I preferred the pre Vaughns much better.
