    Default Bauer Rx8 Catch Glove Review

    This is my first review so enjoy.
    I have been using my Bauer Rx8 intermediate trapper for a while now, and would like to share my thoughts.
    Protection 8/10: This glove could use a little more protection in the palm area as i can feel some shots there. But i haven't had any stingers yet so that's good. Everywhere else i have taken a shot to on this glove i feel nothing.

    Performance: 10/10: so far this glove has worked out great for me and with my old vaughn t700 glove i couldn't catch a thing, might as well of used two blockers. This glove traps pucks so easily even if it doesn't hit the netting part or the pocket it just seems to bounce in there. It is light weight also. It also closes easily, and has a wide pancake-style surface.

    Comfort: 9/10: This glove is really comfortable, but the only complaint i have is that i get really sweaty in it, i was playing around with it one day, breaking it in, and it took it off after 5 minutes of just messing around and my hand was pretty sweaty. But it is pretty comfortable with its inside material, and the sweat drains pretty fast inside the glove.

    Durability:10/10: It has held up pretty good so far not stitching issues no tears no nothing

    Overall: 9.5/10: This glove is pretty good overall and i would recommend it to any goalie looking for an intermediate level glove.

    Pros:
    lightweight
    comfortable
    Puck stays in glove easily
    Durable

    Cons:
    sweat easily

    Of course here are some pictures of the glove, Excuse my webcam quality. Bauer Rx8 Catch Glove Review-glove.jpgBauer Rx8 Catch Glove Review-closed.jpgBauer Rx8 Catch Glove Review-back.jpgBauer Rx8 Catch Glove Review-inside.jpg

    An intermediate gear review, great job. Put intermediate in the title next time. It would be easier for people looking for intermediate gear reviews.

    I just got this glove, it arrived today. I wasn't sure about trying it out right away in a game, thought I'd have to break it in first, but it feels great already. I have a game tonight, I'll report back on how it was!
