I like the gloves a lot. I may buy them if I wasnt boycotting Brine. What do you guys think?

i tried them on, and they're really not that great. i think regular vents will fit you better and they're cheaper. the supa-fly fingers are good, but it's not worth it to pay another $40. go to bacharach and get the original ones for like $80.

or we could allbuy the gladiators, and there would be rejoicing....because they rock the casbah... plus vent x's as well as vents and xfactor gels look so bulky, and they fit your hand weird......

no doubt about that. if you wanna spend $120 on gloves, go for the gladiators. that's a smart buy right there.

the Superfreaks are also damn near the most expensive glove out right now. Everywhere i see them they are between 150-160. The Glads are by far the better value. Top of the line glove for under 120. Not to knock the superfreaks but they are quite expensive

although they are worth the money, the question is do you have the money for them? gladiators aren't as good, but for $50 less, they are still an excellent buy. i won't say that it's a better buy for your buck. that's really your decision.

i think they're in now. QCLax has them in 12" for 105, and 13" for $110. an excellent, excellent price.

ya tru, but your getting a lot for your money
i dunno... i thought the review, all though probably true, didn't show how great the vents really are. i'm coming off about 8 months with original vents, and they're amazing, and my hands fit about perfect in a 13 inch glove. the vent x's really weren't that big, and the problem for me was the thumb, which i know becomes the best thumb in the game in about a week of wearing in. vent x's are amazing out of the bag, superfreaks are excellent, and gladiators weren't great. but hyperflex's are awful.

You are not really getting alot for your money, they do the exact samething as my $40 intrepids, protect your hands while you play lacrosse.

i def. agree, big props to the original vents, call me cheap or maybe old fashioned, but i havent found a better glove and ive had mine for so long, i couldnt bear switching to anything else, i dont even like the new gloves as much, besides, great atlantic is selling the vents for like 65, so i could always get me another two pairs of what i consider the best gloves out there for the price of one of the new gloves (or three in the superfreaks case)
