    Kangaroo on the palm side, SPS on the wrist area, I would have liked a double flap over the wrist though (previous model did have a double enclosure, but there you go).

    edit: It doesn't seem to say, but I thought it was Kangaroo in the palm area... pass.
    Those look kinds similar to the ones I used

    About the right price that I am expecting to pay - may have to find out some dets about sizing

    Personally in a glove I was looking for:
    -Palm sliders / scaphoid protection
    -Armoured knuckles on a separate piece of leather (so they can move)
    -Ventilation
    -Extra leather in certain areas e.g. outer side of hand
    -Roo or similar palm
    -Web between ring&pinkie

    I ended up going with these as a summer glove. Got all my tickboxes except the pinkie webbing.

    Many prefer the gauntlet style glove, but these shorties are unbeatable on a hot day. Shipped to NZ they were competitively priced compared with other gloves. They do a gauntlet style as well, dearer tho.

    Winter glove wise I have some Macna things (terrible) and some Darbi things (average). Will get some decent winter ones at some point
