Baller Rivvy Posted August 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 30, 2012 I thought I would host a poll. Post your favorite gloves. I have been sporting the older master line double Velcro precurved gloves. They don't have the nylon strap. Im on my 3rd set. They have been decent gloves but I am looking for other options. I still get blisters if I'm hitting it hard. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller tfriess Posted August 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 30, 2012 Just go with the main 3. HO 41 Tails Masterline ProLocks Radar Vice Choose one and you will be satisfied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chuck_Dickey Posted August 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 30, 2012 Progear's are the best I have ever tried. I do not need kevlar liners because the gloves fit tight and I try to keep my handle in my fingers rather than in my palms. http://www.progear.ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam man Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Just switched from ML Prolocks to Radar Vice. Much better product imho. We will see how long they last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MrJones Posted August 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 30, 2012 Tail 41's. I have been using these since they were call the RPM (Rossie Pro Model). Something was odd about last years fit. Really tight around the palm and the seams ripped out after a while. I bought 2 new pair about a month ago and they fit perfectly. It's really just what you want a far as feel. I like a thin kevlar glove. ML has good stuff, but just feels too thick for my taste. I have heard good things about the Pro Gear gloves, but unless I am mistaken they are not kevlar and I figured they would wear out pretty quick.

Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted August 30, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted August 30, 2012 Take a look at the D-3 fusion gloves (I think that's what I bought my wife) they fit good and are real similar to the original 41 tails. Last years 41 tails I wore a size large... Tried on a large pair this year way to big same with the mediums ended up with small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwillygood Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 i love my Radar Strada gloves or whatever they are called, they fit awesome, but they are falling apart...the masternline pro lock gloves are pretty rad too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted August 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 30, 2012 Vice are wearing well so far. Went thru some prolocs pretty quickly with strap breaking, but sent them in and got replacements...the claim was a bad batch manufactured. Good service to replace 'em free.

Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted August 30, 2012 Gold Member Share Posted August 30, 2012 Some folks here recommended 41 Tails to me, and they've been great. Last a good long time (over a season on my first pair so far), great grip; no bunching. I still kinda long for the old wrist-pull-down strap on the HO Talons, but so far as I know the only glove with that is a 4Wake that I tried and didn't find to my liking (at all). I find the name a bit silly, though. I'm fairly good at this compared to the masses, but there's no way in hell I am ever running 41 with a tail. Doesn't even matter what the boat speed is.

Baller 6balls Posted September 2, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 2, 2012 @rivvy, rough the strap up just a bit with some fine grit sandpaper before first use or the strap is pretty slippery. Right of passage for all my new strap gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Rivvy Posted October 3, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted October 3, 2012 They are going to take some getting used to but I think I like them. I found out quickly that I must finger grip the handle often. That doesn't work with these gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted October 3, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted October 3, 2012 Went through several ML ProLocks in a season. Same season same Radar Vice gloves. Just now showing some wear.

Baller SkiJay Posted August 14, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 14, 2013 I love the Radar Boas' cable system. It's fast, keeps a great glove tight across the whole palm, and it eliminates blown velcro tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Skoot1123 Posted August 14, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 14, 2013 I just got the HO 41 Tails - haven't tried them yet but I can't wait. My other gloves were good, but they are now stretched out too much and are starting to wear in the fingers. I got the XS and won't be able to velcro the top of the hand strap - but they fit great and are very comfortable. Hope they ski as well as all the hype!

Baller GOODESkier Posted August 14, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 14, 2013 Like the GOODE Power Grip Gloves (White & Black). They are discontinued, but can still be bought from GOODE for $35. They last a fair amount of time. I ski daily and ski reasonably hard, so for me they last about 6 weeks???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller PatM Posted August 14, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 14, 2013 I loved the HO 41 tail, but could not get any this time of year. Back ordered everywhere. So I spent a little more for the Radar Boa and so far (3 times out) I really like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller oldjeep Posted August 14, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 14, 2013 Accurate World Cup 3/4 finger are the ones that I've gotten attached to. Nothing fancy but they stay together and I can't stand gloves with finger tips since I can't get gloves long enough to fit my fingers in without them being huge in the palm. @Mrs_MS - my wife loves hers, got them as replacements for a previous year pair that fell apart the first time out. The new ones have worked well for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller XR6Hurricane Posted August 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 15, 2013 @oldjeep x2 on the Accurate World Cup 3/4. I almost wrecked my hands using my older pair of Masterline Kevlar gloves. Could never keep the palms from wrinkling even though they fit tight. Picked up a pair of the Accurates a few weeks back and now my hands are the least of my worries.

Baller A_B Posted August 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 15, 2013 Switched from Masters Curves to Tails this year, and they have been pretty good. No top closure issues as some have had. Just picked up some Ergos today, so will be trying them soon. They are a little tighter out of the box than the Tails. Masters Amara just is too slippery for me now after years of use. Liked their grey Amara much better than the black. Even after roughing them up. Maybe I am not so light on the line? Have a couple pair of Masters Curves XXL laying around somewhere if someone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Zman Posted August 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 15, 2013 What @oldjeep and @XR6Hurricane said with the World Cup gloves, except I like the full finger version. Stumble across these a few years ago and thought since they were so cheap they would not last. Instead, they hold up very well, and have just enough built in padding, never tear out chunks of skin like I did with Kevlar. Had same issue with ML Curves - not enough curve to prevent bunching in the palm. Might try the Radar Ergo because the fit and feel is great for my hands.

Baller schafer Posted August 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 15, 2013 Radar Strada with the boa system. at first i thought they were gimmicky. but i love them. bought 2 pairs in march in FLA. and i ski 9-12 sets a week and still using those same 2 pairs and they still seem like they have lots of life left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jipster43 Posted August 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'm on my third season with the HO Talons. I've stitched them up twice now and they are currently pretty tattered. Last year I ordered the D3's, but they had a funky fit. Sounds like they've fixed that this year. I just ordered the 2009 Connelly Prophecy glove from H2Osmosis for $29. If they work I'm gonna' stock up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ALPJr Posted August 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 15, 2013 Accurate World Cup - used the 3/4 a few seasons and went with the full finger last year. Tight fit - easy on skin - hold up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller danbirch Posted August 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'm a fan of the Progear gloves, but have lately been using the Radar Strom gloves, which are identical, and a little less $ (free shipping instead of paying out of country shipping), and with faster delivery time. They are amara as well. Link is http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Radar-Storm-Waterski-Glove&i=50227&aID=600B2&merchID=4006 I would agree, however, that the amara gloves don't last as long as kevlar gloves (usually go through 2/season), but the feel (of the handle) is much better for me, and I like the way they grip and hold better.

Baller XR6Hurricane Posted August 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 15, 2013 @Zman and @ALPJr I liked the full finger version too, but I had the same problem as @oldjeep. Fingers were too long for my hands. 3/4 solves that. Only problem is they are harder to pull off when done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted August 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 15, 2013 @XR6Hurricane That is certainly true - I've wished many times for some loops or tabs on the tops of the finger ends to make them a little quicker to remove, but that is the trade off with the 3/4's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jipster43 Posted August 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 15, 2013 I was going to try the Radar Storm gloves, but they don't make them in anything smaller than a small.

Baller 6balls Posted August 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 15, 2013 Running Masterline pro-locks no dowel right now and me likey. Radar lock style glove seemed beefier and maybe higher quality but also bulkier even w/out dowels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller danbirch Posted August 16, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 16, 2013 @jipster43 You will have no problem with small, if you hands are really small. I wear a medium, and I'm not very big (5'5) My wife has small hands and she fits a small. Also, in a Progear, I wear a small. The sizes of the Storm vs. the Progear don't line up. You gotta go smaller with the progears/bigger with the storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jipster43 Posted August 16, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 16, 2013 @schafer thanks! I just hope they fit properly. @danbirch thanks for the testimonial! I am 5'5" as well, so I would guess our hands are within at least a size of each other. If the Prophecies don't work out, I'll try the Small Storms.

Baller jhughes Posted August 16, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 16, 2013 I've been rocking the HO RPM gloves for 6 seasons now. Still holding up well. Incredible product.
