The Elite glove features the same open palm as the Evolution glove, with a silicon printed internal surface for grip – the unique herringbone pattern mirroring the ‘herringbone’ traction grip pattern seen on the current stick range.

A new and improved cage on this glove combined with significantly reduced weight provides an unparalleled level of protection. The unique new cage creates a spine which lifts the impact point from the back of the hand and creates a space between the hand and the glove itself. The lattice features strengthen the cage whilst making it lighter and breathable.

The curved and lengthened finger plates then enhance the protection further by shielding the bone between the hand and the first knuckle and extending to provide extra protection of the first knuckle. The thumb then has an overlapping pair of plastic shells to give an increased level of protection.

All the plastic plates and the cage are foam backed to provide comfort and then encased in a Lycra cover for flexibility, stretch and fit.

The glove is secured with a cuff and Velcro fastening.
