I would never wear a low end Itech/Bauer product again. I almost broke my fingers a couple time with the 4.8 glove.

"Soccer players pretend they're hurt, Hockey players pretend they're not."
I agree low end is not worth it atall, but I really didnt know as it was the first piece of equipment I bought new at store cost price.
I havent felt any stingers or anything yet, but havent really been playing anything but drop in and old timers. I just know from other traps i tried on it lacks alot of palm protection.
For a junior/ old timers / beginners leagues this would be an great glove, but any league where people have hard shots it wont hold up.
