i was recently i the one sports store that has anything worth buying in it around my house. and they had the g-force gloves.
here's some questions:
i know the feel of both the g's and glads, and insanitys, but how do they feel after breaking them in? i really don't like the spandex feel, but does that go away with time?
for the extra cash are g-forces really worth it?
how would you rate the g's and glads, and insanitys up to a pair of gloves like... mac's, or freaks?
do the palms on the glads (the ones w/ grip) get really annoying after a while?
do the insanitys become flexible after a while?
thanx for the help guys

i have insanities, they break in to be flexible i played with my friends gforces they break in amazingly too and the spandex feel does go away (played with them when he got then and this year) my team uses the custom gforces with the girppy thing and no one has complained yet, i think it kinda wears down

G-Forces are really nice.
I bought a pair this summer, and my first reaction was that they were too small, and seemed kinda stiff. But after like 2 days i realized that they seemed small because they were really low profile and snug fitting, and they actually have really good flexibility. definitely worth the extra $$, especially since the insanities are so bulky

Well I'd say get G - Force cuz their cheap, durable, and very very comfy. My first pair of gloves were X Factor Gels and they was big, bulky, uncomfortable with huge loose palm. The G-Forces I have I bought at $112 shipped from Chestnuthillsports.com Their small, compact, tight (not warrior small), very very comfortable, and extremely durable. I dont know about Gait stuff, but I'd say go G Forces becuz the other two brands in terms of durability is low. I mean Warrior has top of the line but theres the $$ and durability issue. STX is known for durability, there many guys on the forums here with like 5 years old Ignitors that still work fine, and the G Force is cheap. Only drawback is though, my G-Force backhand are still quite stiff. So I say get G Forces their cheap for top of the line gloves, last long, and wont break your bank. You can easily use them for 2 if not 3 seasons with proper care.
I've had the insanities for several months now and they are insane. When I first got them, they were very stiff and uncomfortable and gave me blisters. Now they are very flexible and comfortable, especially in the rain. I prefer my insanities over macdaddies, although I think Brine flights are a better glove. But the insanities are still awsome.

Wow. G-Force gloves and Cheap in the same sentence.
G-Forces cost more than mac daddies around here. I could buy two pairs of I pros for them.
If the store has I Pros get those, great gloves. Other wise get insanitites

I have the G-Forces and I like them. I have tried the mac daddys and found that they don't fit comfy.

Wow lol then you dunno what a deal is. I bought mine for $112 and have NEVER EVER heard of MacDaddies being less than G Forces. Seeing as how Warrior does have an MSRP. But like I said I bought mine for $112 so no, you cant in most places buy 2 pair of I Pros for the price of a pair of G Forces. I dunno what kind of weird Fed up place you live in.

Well I never had defts, although I did own a pair of X Factor Gels which are about I'd say 70% similar to the defts. Cuz defts have cuffs, supercrosse thumbs and they changed the padding shape slightly on fighters and backhand. But i'd say that its a tad bit better. My only qualm with the G Force are the backhand and thumbs but like my X Factor Gels it takes breaking in. My old X factors after 2 seasons and three years are god like in flexibility and control. I worked that thick big baggy palm into thin god like control surface.
