stick9 891 Report post Posted January 10, 2022 Does anyone still offer a narrow fit? I know warrior did at one point. Are custom gloves still a thing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VegasHockey 1280 Report post Posted January 12, 2022 The new STX HALO gloves are by far the tightest fitting glove I have ever used. If you can find them that would be your best option (if you can get over the futuristic looks) Also, True Catalyst gloves are pretty snug. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Trues look interesting. I'll have to try on a pair next time I am at PH. Some Spezza pro stocks would be perfect, 13.5 in a narrow fit....yes please.

Tucker16 37 Report post Posted January 14, 2022 I find the FT1 gloves are really narrow. I use QL and they fit smaller I feel. The new covert seem more boxy than the previous line or maybe it’s just me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve heard great things. but I always use pro ccm or warrior stuff never been a Bauer fan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took a puck there and felt every bit of it. Could be me being a little overly cautious seeing how I've broken that bone in the past. It's not a common place to get hit either.

Jbear 113 Report post Posted January 18, 2022 I found the 2n and Supreme S1 to be among the most protective...especially in that area. At least the retail version. There are some pro stocks of all types with beefed up padding. Might be worth looking into. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tucker16 37 Report post Posted January 19, 2022 Fair enough. I’ve broken my hands before wearing decent or so I thought gloves. I like the ultra tacks pro with the shot blocker (HGTKPP) tight and very protective. I forgot to mention, shot blockers make gloves fit tighter (I find anyhow) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miller55 333 Report post Posted January 19, 2022 2S pro protection is top notch imo. Not many gloves without custom pinky guard will help you on the side of the hand there. I've taken lasers straight to the backhand and no issue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a reason the NHL gloves still have the plastic inserts. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stick9 891 Report post Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) I had the retail 2s Pro gloves, not the pro stock version. While it's a difficult place to get hit. I was a bit disappointed by the coverage in that area. To be fair, it wasn't the sole reason why I started looking at other gloves. Gloves tend to feel bulky once they break in. It doesn't help that I need a 14 or my fingers are busting out of the ends. Edited January 19, 2022 by stick9 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have long fingers but want a tight fitting glove then I think ft1 pro stock is the way to go as the fingers are extended 1/4"I believe 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For now. The ft1 is nice and fitted. But it does loosen up over time like all.gloves as the padding packs in a bit. You can find ft1s on clearance/sale online too. Especially in Canada 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stick9 891 Report post Posted January 20, 2022 The pro stock FT1's I picked up worked out perfectly. They're definitely a much slimmer overall package. Fantastic gloves inside and out. Good call by Hills and others to size down. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Westside 232 Report post Posted January 20, 2022 Did you go with 13’s when you normally wear 14’s? Every time I’ve sized down in a glove based on other’s recommendation, the fingers are always too short. Was looking at picking up a pair of these as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
