| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| This is a great fitting glove. These really wick the moisture away during the game and they dry quickly after the game. No more wet gloves 3 days after the game. |
| Quality gloves at a reasonable price. These have held up well for our teenage son who plays a couple times a week. |
| I love these gloves, fit and maneuverability are great. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Glove has uncomfortable stitching in the L/forefinger. Didn't feel it until I grabbed a stick with the gloves on. |
| Stitches came apart on two of the fingers on one of the gloves. |
| Good glove although the grip is a little slick. I recommend skipping the shaft tape with these. |
The Vapor 3X Pro gloves are a solid upgrade for the competitive player. They offer a great balance of protection and mobility, with a tapered fit that hugs your hand for improved stickhandling. The dual-density foam package absorbs impacts, and the 3-piece index and flex thumb boost your dexterity. While they might not be top-tier pro-level, the Vapor 3X Pro gloves are a great choice for the player looking to elevate their game without breaking the bank.
