STX Gladiator Gloves

I have been using the Gladiator Gloves made by STX for two years now. The gloves have held up extremely well considering the abuse I made them endure. The gloves have withstood two years of solid play on the high school varsity level, and also have played through two summers of lacrosse. One of the summers I played on NESLL ( New England Select Lacrosse League) and traveled all around the country playing at an extremely high level, so believe me when I say these things took a beating. Although these gloves are rather bulky I don't seem to notice it in a bad way. The only reason the gloves are so bulky is due to the fact that they have little strips of metal on each joint of the glove. This adds the extra protection, which is ideal for an attack man. The only down fall of these gloves are is the thumb. The thumb on the Gladiators resembles the thumb on most hockey gloves, big and bulky. Once you get used to the glove and it is broken in in my personal opinion it is one of the best gloves on the market today.
