Pictures are on their way...Thanks Chewie
I voted yes because it really is a very comfortable glove and the contact foam really is one of the best alround latexes out there! I also find it very durable; my previous vapor grips and my gunn gut classic lasted me a while. (especially the vapors - they've lasted me a whole year and they're still are in very good condition!!!)
and thanks for adding the Poll, was not able to get that in either...
perfect cut, great cosmetics and almost unrivalled grip in all conditions. still the glove i'd go to if all else failed. if you can only have one match glove for the rest of time, you'd probably want this one.
100% yes. How can you vote no?
Has to be one of my nominations! and fortunately I was able to pick up a pair in the yellow/white/grey colourway off ebay last week (received today) lucky for me that the seller had them up for auction in the wrong section otherwise I would have missed them , I was looking for an Ajax shirt !

I voted yes although I don't really like the cut and have never used them. I have used and do LOVE the contact foam though and IMO it's the best around.
They deserve to be in the hall of fame though because of the fact that they are a unique cut and are used by many top goalkeepers around the world. The Vapor grips are definitely an iconic glove.
Excellent everyhting besides price for me. Grip is stupendous, as is the durability, cut and backhand. A no question "yes" for me.
Goalkeeping is not just a position on the field, it is a way of life, it is an attitude on and off the field.
i know i have a penchant for stirring up debate on here, but how can you argue with £46 for the vapor grips?! bargain of all time considering they're a "premium" latex and one of the only gloves that has outstanding grip in both wet and dry.
They normally go for around $100 here (54 GBP) and with so much competition in the market nowadays... I'm definitely not griping, just throwing it out there.
a yes from me love the glove shall be picking up a couple more pairs once i can find 9.5 in them
