I started playing hockey again last season and got some cheap Bauer gloves that turned out to be... let's say not good at all. So, during a trip to the US last spring I seized the opportunity to actually go to a hockey shop and try on a few others (barely a chance to do that here) and found a pair of Easton Synergy 80s.
While I love the fit it's really annoying that now, after half a season of playing once or twice a week (didn't start using them til this season), there's already a hole in the thumb of my top hand glove (the right one). Funny enough, the Bauer ones lasted an entire season with barely any signs of wear on the palms or fingers.
Basically, I got three questions:
- Is there a way to prevent this? I tape my stick at the top and thought about removing that save for the taped knob.
- Is there a way to save the damn thing now? Like I said, I love the fit and the holes are really small at this point. The gloves are absolutely fine in every other regard.
- What brands/models are known to have durable palms? Just so I know for my next purchase.
Hope you guys can help me with an answer or two
