Further to my recent topic regards the GN Prestige gloves, and the bad news that they're not in stock - even with GN, I'm wondering if any of the other GN gloves get a good review?!
Like the sausage... style gloves.
TIA :)
-
The omega gloves are sausage fingers and seem to get good reviews. They're on the opposite end of the spectrum to the prestiges colour wise though :)
-
I'm not a fan of foam filled gloves and much prefer sausage fingered gloves, but the supernova 900 gloves feel superb. Sausage design, foam filled, lovely fit and feel...
-
I have the powerbow sausage fingers from This years range.
A very good glove,fingers identical to prestige, minus thumb as its two pics, but very comfy and good protection.

The kaboom in the picture is an old Grays glove, 2014 I believe, but apart from colour it is identical to the prestige glove in every way that matters.

The omega sausage glove is identical to prestige in every way except colours and use of Poron XRD foam
-
Cheers so far guys - will try on the Omega and Supernovas see what I think! Do prefer the prestige ones due to the whiteness mind :D
-
To throw my piece in here - I know they aren't sausage finger but the Omega 1500 are the best gloves I've ever used. Light, comfy and very protective. Incredibly flexible. They might be at least worth a look!

I think a phantom must have hacked @chrisbd's account ;)
-
Haha I like that!
Phantom are good, I just think the XRD allows a lighter and more flexible glove.
Next year's top end gloves are almost all split from GN btw
-
Might have to look at split / squared gloves! Just loved the prestiges and for the money, they were an absolute steal.
What are thoughts on the F18 1500s? As they're named a 1500, are they the same? Seem to save £££s and look a bit cleaner! Not too partial on garishly coloured stuff... although I did have the green and black Power Players gloves :D
-
2017 GN range almost all splits? The clues in the prestige selling out almost everywhere, surely?!
-
I would suggest so - bit of a shame as everybody loved the prestige gloves!
-
The prestige gloves would be amazing in a split finger version could be the cheaper alternate to the legend gloves, never been a fan of sausage finger gloves so this is perfect for me

Don't suppose you checked UZI?

Looking at the GN website, the prestiges will be back in stock around November - simply underestimated the demand they would have for the gloves by quite a margin.
I'll be giving UZI a bell on my lunch hour, as I adore them! - That and I bought a pair of Legends for the weekend, but they have already bust (sweatband strap has come off the sweatband so no longer fastens - not bad for 8 runs..!)
