Strange it is not offered on said gloves for retail..Atleast if you get a pair of originals. You can definately say there "pro issue"
GLoves gloves gloves. As I'm off work. I looked at my.large selection of usable gloves (if I get bored my look at some.oldwr spec gloves I still have see if anything improved)
Anyway 5 sets of gloves. 3 sausage 2 split.
In order I rate protection.
B3 2015 sausage. £50
Gray nics prestige £45
Gray nics kaboom £50
B3 2013 splits.... £20 second hand.
GM 808 le. £35 quid.
when in a game I always wear sausage. Prefer the protection. Prefer the feel. The splits in own are for indoor and winter nets where the mats offers no bounce.
One thing I have discovered is weight seems to equal protection.or seems that way to me.
I am concluding that the more splits the glove has the more.protection is removed. And the lighter the glove. Hence the b3 being heavier than the grays. As it has a 2 piece thumb. Not a 3 piece like the grays.
Also noticed the grays prestige and kaboom.are basically the same gloves. Very very small differences.
The b3s differ from the grays by the sausage not continuing past the knuckles. Which gives a bit more flexibility. But just as much finger protections (both are sausage style with a ribbed plastic over the top).
B3 has more protection in the thumb. Thimble and foam seems thicker.
The split gloves. Very very light. Very very flexible. But protection doesn't feel anywhere near as good as the sausages.
Also noticed the gms build. Quality isn't as hire. If you look at the index fingers side protection on the gm it has collapsed without a hand in. Where as all the other gloves here. It stays in to shape and rigid.
It does not fill me with confidence in terms of both protection and longevity of the glove.
my advice. If you care for protection or play a high level. Buy sausage fingered gloves.
