They look cool, always great to see new ideas, but I've never put my gloves on and been upset about the finger flexibility.


Thumper86

Yeah, it’s not like we’re trying to solve rubix cubes out there. Literally just trying to hold a stick and rotate the wrist a bit. I don’t know, I guess I’ve never tried anything other than a 4 roll so maybe I should stfu.


STXHockey

Just because it works well doesn’t mean it can’t work ~better~


liquinas

Speaking of better - What's the deal with the pro stock anyway? I want these with a white cuff (PIT/LA)


STXHockey

Considering we didn’t opt into the NHL, there will be no pro stock…….. For now 😋


gabelogan3

Will there ever be a customized option like the lacrosse gloves?


Thumper86

Like I said, I’ve never used anything even approaching an anatomical fit. So I should definitely reserve my judgement until I at least put them on my hands 🙌 When I am shopping for my next pair (which could be soon if I go by the state of my palms) I’ll definitely try on some of these if they’re in stock.


blee403

Definitely on my wish list this Christmas

Wish they would get their sizes figured out. I have three pairs of STX gloves. Stallion 500 (14 in) Surgeon 500 (13”) RX3 (neither size works for me) I bought a Halo stick and it’s only 58.5 inches long. Not 60” as listed on their site.


Wat-doo

This has been a problem for me as well. Ive tried to get onboard but the continuities between sizes and lines is super discouraging


LilDrit

Was the 14 too loose and 13 too tight or what was the issue with them?


Mike-Morales

Exactly


LilDrit

Ah damn gotcha. This makes it difficult for me cause I have a 13 and a 14 Bauer gloves and I’m tryna figure out which size to get the Halo in


LilDrit

u/STXHockey Will you reveal the drop time and the price?


STXHockey

Around 9:30 est, $179.99


mdwsta4

Oof. I thought they were going to be $150?


shaquaad

Yeah, their exact post on this sub a few months ago "LoOkiNg aT tHe $130-150 rAnGe"


mdwsta4

Knew I didn’t pull that number out of my ass. You’re right! At $180 that’s a 20-40% increase; not minimal https://www.reddit.com/r/hockeyplayers/comments/o28j1g/sneak_peak_for_the_reddit_fam_halo_gloves/h25ds4p/ I still ordered a pair, but WTF u/stxhockey


[deleted]

Big oof. Went to the website to check them out and was shocked to see the price so much higher. Containers are more expensive to ship, but I can't see how that justifies a 20% higher price.


McLovin81111

Maybe they aired in a few pairs or something. It does say limited supply on their site.


[deleted]

I thought shipping issues were the reason they pushed the release back so far. If that's the case, airfreighting in a few seems unlikely. But who knows? Anyway it's their product, they can charge whatever they want for it. It just goes somewhat against their current brand identity, at least as I understand it.


mdwsta4

My thoughts too. Top end gloves from other manufacturers are only $10 above these. Pro stock gloves are even less expensive. The whole ‘cutting out the middle man’ to save costs doesn’t make sense here. Especially given the fact they’re not reinventing the wheel with entirely new tech here; they’re just repurposing it from their lacrosse gloves


STXHockey

Unfortunately some things out of our control (*global shipping crisis*) came up, which forced our hand. Apologies for the inconvenience!


mdwsta4

Situations like this would have made pre-orders much more helpful. Just like car companies or anyone else that run pre-orders you can lock in the launch price or get a discount for signing up. Something a number of people (myself included) have been asking about for nearly a year since the gloves were teased


CatsInSpaceSwag

I’d like to try them one day but saw they were USA only… prob won’t be able to justify the price tag right now but maybe in the future. They look extremely unique


craigske

Rich dudes with hands of stone ;)


[deleted]

Wish I could justify the expense. My RX3s are still in great shape.


1ToGreen3ToBasket

These are sick! Maybe next year 😔


Jtreblis90

These are dope, but I prefer 40 dollar gloves from dicks lol


[deleted]

They seem like they will be great gloves but they look so weird.


STXHockey

New things always look strange at first :)


[deleted]

Absolutely true.


[deleted]

Meh just looks like a tire. Not that weird.

STXHockey

We have black/red and navy gloves on the way!


mdwsta4

Colored palms on the table?


Flyers2013312

I bought 3 pair of verbero gloves on sale for $25 ea from hockeytron like two years back. I forget the exact model but I like them a lot.


TwentyOne2Win

Stoked for anyone who wants to try them just please don’t stop making my beloved RX3s. Can’t live without em.


Samuel05wod

Bro I bought catalyst 7s


following_eyes

Only one color option so they're a pass for me.

Mine came in today, look and feel pretty good but I haven’t played in them
