Popular Lacrosse Gloves

Our lacrosse glove reviews are designed to help you weigh tradeoffs to find the best fit. We collaborate with players and gear experts to review each glove based on protection (how well the gloves shield the hands from impact and abrasion), dexterity (the ability to allow for free and precise movement), and comfort (how well the gloves fit and feel for extended periods). Rankings are updated weekly based on SidelineSwap sales data.

Perfect gloves for:
Players who want a reliable and well-made option that offers a balance of protection and flexibility.

The Maverik M6 Lacrosse Gloves provide a classic fit with improved comfort and performance. They feature a redesigned Connekt palm for better stick feel and durability, a quick-dry liner for faster sweat evaporation, and Flowcool venting to reduce heat. The adjustable cuff allows for a closed fit for extra protection or a flared fit for freedom of wrist movement.

These gloves bounce off the technology from the M5. They have vent holes which allows the heat to exit and keeps sweat to a minimum. The palms are soft with quick dry action . They do come slightly stiffer then other gloves but break in easy with very little time needed . They hold up well. True to size. Great for intermediate players.

Maverik Max

Comfort
Perfect gloves for:
Experienced players who value a highly technical and feature-rich design.

The Maverik Max Lacrosse Gloves offer a traditional design with extra volume in the fingers and back of the hand. Durastretch panels improve flexibility, while Anaform ridges provide protection without limiting mobility. Triple-density foam and rigid inserts manage impact, and the magnetic cuff prevents Velcro snags for easy use. An adjustable cuff allows for either maximum protection or a more flared fit for wrist freedom.

The Maverik Max gloves come broken in and ready for play right out of the package. They have durastretch panels and are able to stretch and bend when grasping the lacrosse shaft. They come in a few colors. The material of the palms is a new technology that allows the gloves to dry quickly from sweat or rain. The material being soft, is still very strong to prevent ripping. Any player can use these, but for the price, I’d recommend a more advanced player. Great for high schoolers and up.

Perfect gloves for:
Players who prefer a traditional fit with a focus on comfort and unrestricted movement.

The Maverik M5 Lacrosse Glove, successor to the M4, features a classic fit with added volume in the fingers and back of the hand. It includes a Quickdry Liner for moisture management, an AX Suede palm for durability and comfort, and Inhaler Mesh palms for airflow and grip. The Flowcool venting helps disperse heat, while the adjustable cuff allows players to choose between a closed fit for protection or a flared fit for wrist mobility.

The M5s are comfortable and offer incredible performance on the field. This consistent performance has led to their popularity and allowed Maverik to launch the fifth iteration of this glove. Across lacrosse, you can see youth players, college teams, and pro teams rocking the Maverik lineup, as the glove has a modern look that just can’t be beat.

Perfect gloves for:
Players who want gloves with advanced cooling and ventilation technology.

The Warrior Burn Lacrosse Gloves feature a low-profile design and flexible cut for comfort. The Pro Palm with mesh inserts ensures ventilation, while the Truvent system enhances cooling. Mesh gussets provide additional airflow, and the inset cuff design offers added protection. These gloves are a great choice for players wanting reliable protection and comfort.

The Burns are known for their protection and great feel. They’re a little bulkier than newer models but still have a light feel. The bulk comes from extra padding in the glove and reinforced palm and fingers. The break-in period is relatively short, and the gloves quickly mold to your hand shape. If you're looking for a reliable and high-performing glove, the Burn is definitely worth considering.

Perfect gloves for:
Players who value a traditional design with a focus on functionality.

The Warrior Evo Lacrosse Gloves excel in comfort, durability, and performance. The Authentic Pro Palm offers a great feel and durability, while the flared cuff enhances flexibility. The Bone System adds protection in impact zones, and Truvents with the Wartech Liner keep hands cool and dry. Overall, the Warrior Evo is a top choice for lacrosse players looking for reliable gloves.

The Warrior Evos are one of the most reliable gloves on the market. They have a unique feel with the palm because of their Pro Palm addition that allows for control while still being long lasting. Some gloves can have palms that rip and deteriorate over time but I have not seen that problem with these. Overall the Evos are a great choice that is looking for a reliable glove to bring on the field.

Perfect gloves for:
Players who want a glove that can withstand the toughest conditions while providing optimal comfort.

The STX Cell V Lacrosse Gloves feature a Power Fit design for increased freedom of movement and a durable AX Suede palm for excellent stick feel. Their ventilated palm ensures breathability, making them a favorite among high school and elite players. With GeoFlex II technology for flexible protection and a customizable C3 cuff system, these gloves offer a secure fit. The improved Guard Lock strap keeps your mouth guard secure off the field, making the STX Cell V a top choice for comfort and performance.

The Cell V is a great glove. The harder shell on the outside allows for less sting and more protection when hit by a lacrosse stick. A few things to consider are that they tend to run small and can rip easily, but they are very affordable. The Cell V is one of the best comfort gloves from STX.

Perfect gloves for:
Players who want enhanced mobility and value extra protection.

The EVO QX Lacrosse Gloves feature Cloud Cuff technology for improved range of motion in cradling, passing, and shooting. The Hybrid Taper fit enhances mobility and protection, while the WAthentic Pro Palm + provides a comfortable stick feel. The Wartech Liner ensures breathability and moisture management, making the EVO QX a great choice for players seeking a high-performing glove.

The EVO QX is pricy but worth the money. I use these gloves and have had them for a long time. They have great wrist flexibility. You can cradle and pass the ball with ease and the impax foam molds to your hand over time. I actually used these gloves a few times on my dirt bike. When I crashed and broke plastic off my helmet, these gloves did not rip or damage my hand. Based on the higher price, I recommend them for more advanced players.

Perfect gloves for:
Players who prefer a looser fit for greater control.

The Nike Vapor Elite Lacrosse Gloves feature a roomier design that maintains security and flexibility. Their low-profile cuff system and flexible foam construction enhance comfort and control, making them ideal for players who prefer a looser fit. These gloves are a top choice for high school and collegiate athletes seeking comfort, performance, and style.

These gloves are great but don't get the hype like other gloves do. The Vapors have come a long way. The Elite is super light which Nike was trying to prove with these gloves. The outer shell is made to combat even the toughest impacts. The wrist cuff could be longer but these gloves are good for all levels of play.

The 6th iteration builds on the previous gloves by expanding its fit profile and overall ventilation so you can play high-intensity games. The VI is noticeably clunky but provides amazing protection on checks and other contact. Overall, these gloves are one of the best options out there.

Maverik Rome

Comfort
Perfect gloves for:
Any player who wants a glove that is soft to the touch but hardens on impact providing supreme protection.

The Maverik Rome Lacrosse Gloves feature a cuffless backhand design for unrestricted wrist movement and enhanced thumb mobility. With protective top hand padding, a magnetic inner cuff, and a textured palm, these gloves ensure a secure grip and flexibility. They're essential for serious lacrosse players, showcasing Maverik's commitment to excellence.

These gloves have been around for some time now. They run true to size but are overall tight width-wise. They come in different colors and are easy to buy in bulk for teams. They are good for beginners but a little on the pricy side. They are not as flexible as other options, and there is little protection on the wrist even though they have a cuff.
