Hi everyone
As there seems to be a lot o interest in the SS whiteout gloves I thought I'd do a comparisson of these compared to the off the shelf version.
Firstly the looks. These are essentially the same glove, just one doesn't have all the snazzy colours. Both pairs use high quality materials (as you'd expect from a high end glove) and look & feel solid.
Other than colours the only visible difference is the palms, with the off the shelf gloves having sheep leather palms, while the Whiteouts have a variant of pittards.
Now onto the Mallet test. As one hand was on the mallet and the other inside the glove I didn't get to take a video.
Both performed well, without the Whiteouts seeming to offer any substantial extra protection. I wacked myself on each hand and if anything the bottom hand on the whiteouts offer slightly better protection (and I stess only slightly) on the bottom fingers.
What was apparent was the Whiteouts were bigger (longer fingers) and more flexible.
And so you can see both pairs for yourself
