SG Hilites:
(http://acimg.auctivacommerce.com/imgdata/0/0/3/1/9/1/webimg/5538885.jpg)
Very nice gloves, got Pittards Leather and they are very flexible, i think the protection is there, certainly for most of us anyway.

Top Hand: 143 grams
Bottom Hand: 183 grams
SS Gladiators:

The protection on these is really up there, it has inserts on all fingers. The palm is very soft and very nice, quite flexible though not as much as the Hilites. 1 complaint is that the i find the thumb on the bottom hand a bit uncomfortable, not a huge deal though.

Top Hand: 142 grams

Salix Pod One:

Top, top top gloves as you would expect from Salix, i find them quite flexible for being sausage fingers, protection is top, very comfortable gloves and the cougar pittard palms are great

For $35AU on Ebay certainly great gloves, nice palm, inserts in all fingers.

You guys probably know him from the 5lb training bat, but i was quite surprised about these gloves, they are comfortable and i quite like the logo on the wrist band, protection is pretty good, particularly the 2 fibre inserts on the top of the 2 bottom fingers, i think they look very nice, one point though, they are not as flexible as i would have thought, but after couple nets not an issue.
Weight:
Top Hand: 144 grams

SS LE Gloves:
(http://acimg.auctivacommerce.com/imgdata/0/0/3/1/9/1/webimg/6785032.jpg)
These gloves are great, very very comfortable, the palm is very soft and nice, protection is top as you would expect with sausage gloves and would recommend them!, the Thumb is still a little uncomfortable, not as much of as issue as the SS Gladiators though

I tried on the Salix gloves recently at Taunton and they were incredible in terms of comfort. They were priced at £75 which was fairly steep but compared to the legend split gloves at £85 they were miles better in my opinion. I'll be looking out for these Salix gloves in the sales that's for sure.

Could you give each of those gloves a rating out of 10 ?
-
SG Hilites: 8.5/10, used them more now and i really like that
SS Gladiators: 8/10
Salix Pod One: 9.5
Anthem: 6/10, not a big fan of them, there the gloves i lend out to people, but at $35 there great value for money
JP Gavan Tormentor: 7/10, only inserts on the top part of the 2 leading fingers
SS LE: 8.5

Yeah - I really like the look of those Salix gloves, I think I'll have a look around and see if I can find some. I have the SS Gladiator and really like them.
