Protection

Thanks for the info Mat. But I think I will stick with a smaller MTB style glove, I've tried out a few of the bigger ones on the court and didnt like them at all, found they interfered with bike handling and mallet control.

no worries. it's personal preference. but if you havent tried lacrosse gloves id suggest giving them a go.

imo they do not effect bike / mallet handling / control. plus, when you consider majority of top teams in the world play with these types of gloves, they must be okay.

but if you want mtb style gloves, try dakine defenders.
