Cove 38 Report post Posted March 1, 2023 How easy / possible is removing the shot blockers from pro stock gloves? Found a pair of gloves I want but they have those big shot blockers on them and i loathe them and how they look. Want to know before I drop what feels like $10,000 CDN on them.

Monty22 832 Report post Posted March 1, 2023 Super easy with an x-acto knife or similar. Just go slow and they come right off. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xstartxtodayx 343 Report post Posted March 1, 2023 yea, as Monty said, pretty easy. I've used a seam ripper and x-acto but the x-acto is actually the easier of the two since you're usually going in a tighter area and can just slice the stitch from the top with the x-acto. Just kind of spread the rolls apart where the shot blocker is sewn in and examine before you start cutting, you can usually tell pretty easily what to cut and just go little by little (the outside attachment is usually easier since it's not hidden as much). 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniper9 530 Report post Posted April 5, 2023 Just a question regarding removing the shot blockers via seam ripper. Is the stitching for the shot blockers additional stitching on top of the glove that's already been completed or is it a part of the entire assembly. I ask because I don't want to rip the seam and have other parts of the glove detach. If it matters I have pro stock ft1s with shot blockers made for the CHL team stock.

Monty22 832 Report post Posted April 5, 2023 It's an overlay added to a completed glove. Seam rip away, it's attached with it's own stitching. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just did it. Super easy. Gloves feel much more flexible and look better too imo. Edited April 6, 2023 by Sniper9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking what I would use them for and couldn't think of anything so didn't wanna hoard more stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
