Would be interested to know how many on this forum actually have used Poron XRD in any of their personal equipment...i have poron xrd in behind my front pad and have also made a set of fielding guards for when i am under the lid. i swear by the stuff. i find it better aids much more than people think. Very good quality product. photo aside, if James has poron XRD in the gloves then i believe it will change the glove industry

surely that goes against everything that Mr Fox has said? Im quite happy knowing there isnt any poron in my gloves. on that basis im going to stick with the man in the know!

He does have a good record of industry changing products...

Slazenger launched a set of Poron XRD softs for 2014 a few months ago. With respect to James, Slazenger are much bigger than him, yet their Poron softs haven't started a revolution.

im happy with the poron i have which i didnt acquire through James but you guys seem to know whats best!!

[Fearless Fly]

still looks clear to me thought that none of you have used poron in gloves 

[GarrettJ]

does anyone really care what is in their gloves as long as they protect your fingers?

it looks clear to me that you're here to promote Lekka's gear - why would anyone be that passionate about a bloody glove material unless you're fishing?

I've never used Poron gloves, but like George said, it does sound good on paper! Maybe it's some sort of marketing thing, I'm have barely any knowledge in these kind of areas, (I should really have some knowledge though, having done a materials science class last year) but I would take George's word over a big brand's. Could just be me being biased, (Plan to get some Fox's pretty soon) but I would trust an expert who has produced a product like SFs over the marketing brochures of others.

time for some Stretton Fox Gloves!!!!

I am here to promote good gear my friend. if its lekka, gm or kookaburra i couldnt give a hoot! moral of the story is that 95% of the people on this forum have wool over their eyes when it comes to LEKKA. If you can bother to look through James which most cant, the gear is good.

Are you him? Or his brother? Wife perhaps? The explanation by SF (incidentally a man who makes a living out of finding the best material for impact absorption) clearly trumps yours, which is basically a hunch and a personal opinion. I know which I would believe, and James hass history of some extremely odd ideas based on good thinking, without looking at the bigger picture! Not sure I would say he has a history of industry changing products..... unless I missed the sarcasm lol!

Fearless Fly, its always nice to have new members, but wait a while before you get aggressive and make huge claims until people know a bit about you. You'll find that forum members hunt in packs to find people out!

George, care to go into a bit more technical detail as to why Poron is not a good material for Gloves? Both Chad and I would be interested.

My take on it is that the way it works is to be impacted by the projectile and then distribute the force into the material on the other side of the Poron. The effect of this in gloves would be similar to the issue we talked about at the oval with the Foxy pads. When it's a finger on the other side there is very little to absorb the (now distributed) force, resulting in it having little useful effect.

But I might be barking up entirely the wrong tree.

If that's referring to my comment then yes you missed the generous helping of sarcasm!

I thought I might have done lol! Thought I'd cover myself either way
