Pure Hockey 4 Report post Posted September 26, 2012 We thought you'd be interested to see this, which we cross-posted from our blog & marketplace folder. There are few pieces of gear more important than a players’ hockey gloves. Having a comfortable, lightweight, protective glove is vital to feeling confident going into a game. While this test can’t address a glove’s comfort or protection level, it will certainly help out with the weight discussion. Obviously due to the sheer volume of gloves out there, we couldn't weigh ALL of them, but we felt this was a good representation.Our Glove Weigh-in….. Single Glove (Grams) Pair (Grams)Warrior Bully 269 538Warrior Luxe 273 546Easton RS 278 556Easton EQ50 281 562Easton PH E-Pro 285 570CCM U+ CL 296 592Bauer Vapor APX 297 594Bauer 4 Roll 305 610Warrior Franchise 307 614Bauer TotalOne 319 638Bauer Vapor APX Pro 326 652Eagle PPF 337 674The results: A bit surprising to us that the lightest Bauer glove was the 7th lightest in the group, but again you have to take the weight and the protection into consideration. In many cases, a glove with more padding and more protection is going to be slightly heavier. Not every player wants or needs that much protection so sometimes the sacrifice is worth it. Good Showing for Warrior, too, finishing with the top 2 lightest gloves, and also for Easton with the next 3 lightest. All Gloves weighed were 14” inch retail models.
