Well this isn't a proper review just yet as I have only used them half a dozen times or so but I thought as some people had been wanting to know some more on them, I might give you a quick insight.
Well first of there's Karel, the man himself is just brillaint, He talks to you, He aranges everything, He just knows what to keep the customer happy ! The delivery was first class, took only 5 or so days from the netherlands what I feel is pretty dam quick ! Everything was completly wrapped up and all clear.
Well onto the gloves, The first thing I did notice was they come up about 1/2 a size to big. I'm normally a 9 and these fit abit bigger, so I suggest an 8 1/2. Well even with abit of a big fit, the comfort was brillaint ! very soft, no overly padded what i think alot of compaines are doing these days but still enough to know its there. It isn't as though there isn't any padding but its not like selsports what I think is quite thick and very comfortable all the same though.
Well the grip was quite slippery out of the packet on some of the footballs so I gave it a good pre-wash. Once that was done the grip was emense ! it just stuck ! I used them for a couple of training sessions and had great confidence in them, It just felt as though it had all the things I looked for on a glove. Grip, feel, looks fit in someways but if 8 1/2 I'm gunna say i think it would have that for sure too !
I think the grip to start with was very tacky, just abit of water gotit going ! its still pretty tacky for me and I can also add my adhesion spray ! So I think these glove are well worth considering and for a price tag of 32.5 euros which i think is around 25 pounds its even better. I'd also like to add the durability on these has bin very good, no signs of proper wear and nothing really you can see so i think thats another great aspect.
Hope to get a full review up soon and see how there still going
cheers guys

Hey guys, carying on from the my bit above, I'd like to give abit extra now I've used these alot more.
The durability has been amazing, they still don't have any chunks of latex missing, I'll try post some pictures up of them, they have no really marks of wear, only slight graze's, this is after about 20-25 uses !
Then grip in dry has been where it is at its best, its pretty tacky and keeps it consistantly throughout, it still grips very well, the first time I used them they felt like a type of contact foam, now they feel abit less tacky but more kind of soft and grippy, if you get what i mean lol. they've been solid and I've never felt as they would slip at all ! I've used these for alot of my matches, and felt great with them the whole time.
In the wet these gloves have come up greatly, at first I was abit unsure but now I feel these gloves can match the top end gloves and are well worth a thought ! these gloves have had everything, outstanding grip, great feel and fit, brilliant comfort ( even if abit big ) and the look is also very stylish !
I hope this may be a glove people consider for next year as I am certain I will be buying more and more often off karel !
so here's the ratings
dry grip: 8.75
wet grip: 8.25
durability: 9.25
fit:7.75 ( improved with size, go half a size down on these ! )
cushioning: 8.00
value: 9 ( brilliant price, now 28 euros what is around £22! )
pros: everything I've said above really, alround great glove !
cons: the fit only because I had the wrong size
fadding of backhand ( its slowly but has fadded away abit and the colours are losing there original shine )
Hope you guys like them and as I said, i'll try and get some pictures on soon !

P.s any questions about them ask me or karel who is a memeber of this site aswell
Good review. thanks mate.
i've been wondering about these for a while. Does the roll have wrap thumbs?
hey mate, cheers
Well it doesn't, and I really wish it did ! There a great glove still though, but the flats do what's abit odd, well i'd try asking karel if he has anything more about this.
hope it helps
Yeah thanks.
so the flats do, maybe i might go for them then. i havent had a flat palm for ages. Usually have roll or nc.
thanks
You won't be disapointed mate, also like I said, I'd go half a size down on them, otherwise there pretty baggy.
good luck with them mate !
ok cheers mate !
