The orange one has the older cuff graphic and stiching. I dont know the exact dates, but sometimes in the ealier 90's. The newwest ones have those curves and the other stiching like the black one.

Thank you

I have a pair of 35+1 v3's that are about 1.5 seasons old, if that would work

The white and black glove is the newer version which is basically the EPIC glove. The Epic and 5500 (new versions) share the same internals. Just a few things (ie the T and back hand) are slightly different on each model. The orange and white glove that is pictured is the original style 5500. The break on both gloves is very similar.

Just curious, is the Vaughn Velo 7070int series gloves that much different than a pro model glove? How far off is the sizing compared to new Prospec? Protection level? I dunno why i never payed attention to thee aspects of mitts but...

Correction.

The white/black glove have the break found on the 2004 through 05 Vision gloves
The White/Black/Orange glove has the org vision break from 96-03

Where would you get the older model graphic? all the gloves ive saw have the new one.

I used to use a 7070. Got some stingers when I took one to the palm, but very good for an int. glove. Felt like a pie plate (opened really wide, like a V1), and felt very well balanced. Was my favorite glove until I got my P2. Don't know about the sizing, though from my experience with int. gloves, it would meet new specs. Don't take my word on that though.

What did I say? Sorry I didn't have the exact dates there, but the 04-05 gloves have the same plastics as the EPIC's.
