well pretty easy to answer, I had ordered the Tps R6 Gloves but after about 2-3 Games the outer side of the catcher was breaking and the synthetic leather was falling apart.
Södy had the same catcher and the same problem.
link doesn´t work for some reason!?"!?

Goalieforum - Thema anzeigen - TPS R6 Review
that pick is stolen
from Södy´s review on the german board, but it looked on my catcher exactly the same.
But on the other hand TPS was really kind I asked if I could either get a R8 catcher( I was willing to pay the difference) or if I could get a summit. I received after prolly a weak a brand new summt catcher and never looked back I love it !
Södy didn´t want to change his setup so he asked for a professional repair which was done quick iirc.
so long story short 2x R6 2x the same problem. And on a side note I had stingers on my catching hand and I only play roller -- can´t imagine how that works on ice.
p.s. the blocke rof the R6 series works really well for me, so just the trapper was the problem.
