| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Super soft and comfortable. Good dexterity in the hands and mobility in the wrists. |
| Solid gloves with great mobility at the cuff/wrist. My hands are officially free to stick handle and battle at the boards. |
| This is a perfect glove. Great protection but also lightweight. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| The stitching on the left glove on the pinky has completely come apart.. |
| Stitches in the right palm separated. Had to use glue. Also tore on the outside of the thumb area, a little over an inch, exposing the foam. Glued that too. Not cool… |
| I’ve worn them maybe 20 times or so and they don’t fit as tightly as they did new. |
The Bauer Vapor Hyperlite gloves are insanely light without sacrificing protection. The fit is like wearing a custom glove. It's clear that Bauer went all-in on making the lightest glove possible without compromising performance. If you're fast on the ice and want to maximum dexterity, with an extremely durable palm, these gloves are a must-try.
