Need new gloves- Eagle X705 or Warrior DT2

[z1ggy 81]

My Easton 85s' ripped after only 1.5 years of 1-2 per week use. JoshV has recommended to me either Eagle PPF X705s or Warrior DT2 gloves. I can't try these one first as nobody has these in stock near me. I'm hoping some users here have had experience with one or both of these gloves. There are minimal reviews of either online.

Eagle ppf x705s cause the palms are smooth like butter.

Will they get all hard and stiff after they dry from sweating? My old CCMs did that. The Easton's did not because the palm was some kind of suede, but I think it was less durable.

My eagles never crusted unlike my vapors I had and they have last the longest out of all the palms I've used (nash and clarino). Be sure to air them out after each game and wash them after a season or whenever it starts to smell.

For any palms that do get crusty use shaving cream/gel with lanolin in it to softens the palms. I used normal shaving cream after I washed my eagles to prevent any crusting in case it happened.

Here's a thread on maintaining palms: http://modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php/topic/66505-maintaining-clarino-palms/
