(More customer reviews)Brief summary: Not a great pair of gloves, ortho tech is what makes the price in this situation, SG technology is not good quality and characteristics of the glove are far below my expectations for Reusch's more expensive gloves.I wouldn't recommend this glove, it is a pain to get on and not very durable at all, plus the grip is just mediocre, nothing compared to some of Reusch's real game quality gloves.
I was really excited about buying these gloves when I first saw them.They look really nice and I expected them to be great keeper gloves but I was very wrong.After just one game they are starting to wear a fairly good amount, the only thing these gloves have that the $40 gloves don't have is the ortho tech, which was also a disappointment.The spines are very difficult to get back in the glove after they are taken out and are not worth the trouble of having to use a lot of extra strength to clench into a fist while the spines are in.The SG (soft grip) technology is training glove quality in my opinion, I play high school soccer and other than the ortho tech and the nice look of these gloves they were not very good, not recommended to anyone who wants to spend a reasonable amount on soccer gloves.One of the worst problems in my opinion was the wrist strap.It is incredibly difficult for me to get these gloves on and they are my regular size, the strap itself is only about 4 or 5 inches and doesn't fully wrap around the wrist.Overall I am disappointed in myself for buying these gloves and I am disappointed in Reusch for making a low quality glove for a high quality price, think twice before buying these.That being said I think that Reusch is still one of the best out there for keeper gloves, but keep looking because these are not worth the money.For the same price the Reusch A X-1 Keeper gloves are great all around gloves, they don't have ortho tech but all of the gloves that are good quality (and are not over $100) do not have ortho tech.Also the Reusch XOSA Pro G1 are $80 and have the G1 technology which is Reusch's finest for dry conditions; however, not as durable as the X-1 and not as good in wet conditions, I think the XOSA look makes them look great but that's just me, to whoever is reading this review: good luck in finding some great keeper gloves, it takes some trail and error sometimes.
