Out of 2,4, or 5. I like 2 the best is is most original.

Do these have thigh wings? What are those (besides a tasty-sounding treat you might find in a bucket)?

Rod, I really like 4/5, maybe leaning towards 5 out of the two.

I'm thinking about the Evolution too, but may go with the BOA and ask it to be thinned similar, without the thigh wing.

Rod, I like 5 best. Very sharp!

[Snakebitten]

Rod, I like 5, but is your decision.

The evolution is a set I started from scratch based on a customers mods. Basically, I designed an entire new pad. It is extremely flexible (at 2 points, above and just below knee)

Recieved my Venom gloves today....wooooooooooooowwww.

Craftsmanship is definatly top notch. We'll soon see how durable they are.

The catcher is game ready right out of the box....i couldnt believe how easy it closed. It took my last trapper almost 4 months to get the same closure.

I'll have pic's up in a few days.

Can you compare the feel and break of your Venom glove to another one on the market?

Damn near identical to RBK.

Thanks for the response. I thought the BOA glove was a RBK like. Or are both of them but one like a 580 and the other like a 590?

[DRE75HABS]

My BOAs are going into production either today or tomorrow, I can't wait! They were supposed to be today, but I haven't heard if James got started on them or not, will know tomorrow.

Either way, this is uncharted territory for me, and thankfully I have work and hockey to keep me from thinking about it too much, otherwise I'd be pestering James a lot more for details.

The boa is more like a Vaughn T-3700 i think.

James is great to work with. Very informative, classy guy.

[DRE75HABS]

Yeah, it's been cool so far, very easy to deal with.

Thank you Dre.

[Snakebitten]

I don't like to compare directly to other makers, but our BOA is most like the RBK Premier and our Venom is Similar to the Velocity (first generation) Obviously there are some differences.

DRE, we did begin cutting and sewing today. There should be some emails for you and Rod on the way.

Thanks Matt#30. Hope you enjoy. Send me feedback good or bad, that's how I know what to improve and what to keep the same.
