I have some LE H4L gloves which are excellent, but never tried the Excel ones.
Gloves are very much a personal choice - if you can try the on for size, fit and comfort then do so, as this will give you the best indication!

Thanks for the advice
Problem is I live in Australia so this is not an option
I was thinking of getting a bat from matt so I thought I could get some gloves aswell

Well - the fit feels good for me at least. So I can't really comment on how they will fit you.
But I can vouch that they are decent quality and offer good protection.

Bought a pair of these off the forum a few weeks ago.  Only used them in one net and a short innings.

Very comfortable gloves and excellent protection. Only thing I would say is that they are relatively weighty.  I don't know how these compare with other gloves with the same level of protection, but they are much heavier than my previous gloves (gm 909)

what are the disadvantages of a heavier glove?
