Title: Glove design !
Post by: Watsontotty on February 25, 2011, 09:20:06 PM
I have been looking at various glove designs etc etc and i was wondering what manufacturer's gloves fasten at the back rather than the front ? i find the front fastening gloves to be annoying and they click certain fabrics which is also a problem. I have a pair of scat gloves which fasten at the back and they are absolutely superb in terms of design and the fit however protection could possibly be better. Do other manufacturers offer reverse fastening gloves or not, if not your missing a trick in my opinion.

I had some Fearnley X-tec Pro gloves which fastened at the back - by that i presume you mean that the velcro is on the back of your hand, as opposed to the inside of your wrist? They were really good gloves to be fair, though the matching pads I had were crap, so I sold them on as a set

There you go - the version I had were older than this, so slightly different design, but they've kept the fastening
