REVIEW

Been wearing these for my last 4 training sessions and to say im impressed is an understatment. They have performed fantastcially and the fit and comfort is excellent. Plus they look fantactic on your hands!

Now the best bit.....the grip. The grip is superb in the dry. It's really tacky, almost like an adhesive palm rather than a SS. In the wet it performed superbly as well. Wore them in a real downpour and it gave me great confidence coming for crosses and general handling. No need for a specialist wet weather glove when these are in your bag!

DURABILITY

No real signs of wear as yet, after four 2 hour training sessions.

SUMMARY

Fantastic gloves for the money and these can compete with some of the big boys top end gloves.............and win IMO!

PROS

Superb Grip

Comfortable

Great cosmetics

Great looking destinctive logo

Excellent construction.

CONS

No half sizes as of yet (but they are coming!)

 They sound decent. I hope I will get around to trying a pair. What's the grip like compared to the One Glove?

Dida still needs a team! lol

Why be negative when you can be Positive? Beats me!

 mac, what you say is very true, They are a great glove!!!

 I have used mine in indoor and outdoor and they have some sign of wear but that was only after an indoor game where i was shelled. Also one of my wrist straps got tore off but i sewed it back on and they were as good as new. BEst valued glove out there. I have already replaced my sells contour d30s and Reusch Goaliator Pros because the KA gloves has out performed them. I will reccomend these gloves to anyone and already have.

Thanks Kenny, keep up the good work!!!!!

 Mac, great review. How would you compare the grip with nike contact foam and sells adhesion ultra, are they as good if not better, or just very god grip for the money.

Thanks.

They are not as tacky right out of the packet as the nike contact, but once they have had a pre wash they are just as tacky IMO. They are better than Adehesion ultra IMHO.

So what i am saying is basically they perform just as well as Nike Contact for me, but for half the price!

Nice to know they perform well in rain, because these bad boys hold water like it's no one's business!

 i used mine last night, asfter a prewash and damped with spit and they gripped well although felt a little baggy at first.

Slightly damp slick conditions so pleased with them. Planning on using them tonight for a trial i have. dont think the grip is AD Ultra standard yet, but great glove and the design is even better in the flesh.

Kenny - think you'll be seeing lots of business from me and the guys i work with!

hope to get round to trying these also, my one main reservation is that its a surround cut? having tried a few surrounds, personally I just prefer standard roll design. anyways very impressive reviews Cool

 i'm with you on this DK, i prefer it without the surround cut. it doesn't hamper the fit on the roll finger but it does make a difference on the flat palm.

 Had to dig this thread back up......wore my KA's for the first time in training last night with no pre-wash in absolute terrible conditions and they performed amazingly well YesBig Smile

The grip was outstanding and the only issue I would have with them is the 'bulkyness' - and this is only a because of my personal preference for thinner lighterweight gloves....nothing against the glove themselves.

Well done Kenny Yes

Good Review - Gloves are really comfy and do the job! They work in all conditions with excellent grip. A great bargain at £20
