Very, very nice set! I am a huge VK5 fan, and love the look of your gloves. I wish I could have a set in every color combination. I wouldn't trade my 3 VK5 catchers for any other glove on the market today.

for those with stitching problems; as a kid we used to superglue the stitches on our skateboard sneakers and it would work great. something to try out.

i love my vk7 catcher. very lightweight, to the point where I was overplaying the glove my first few times using it. the break is great for playing the puck, the palm has enough meat on it to prevent real damage to my hand if I don't get it right in the pocket, and the pocket does seem like more of a "magnet" than on my koho 580 or my matrix II. The back protection; the top back piece has too much of a gap there, which I'm a little concerned about at times.

the blocker is great. very lightweight nothing bad to say about it. the finger protection was a bit awkward, and prevents me from using the trigger cut into my stick, but i do fine without it.

Thanks. As I said, I love them too. Really, my only complaint is the colors I picked. While I do like the look of all white (my pads are white too), keeping them "pretty" is a lot harder, even with the help of the Magic Eraser. If/when I get a new set, white will not be the predominant color.

Cheers.

That is why I steer clear of any white, when at all possible, on my gear.

It's not an issue with straight white, just with weave. I've had no problems keeping my gloves clean, and there is no weave on them.

It's easy to keep them clean when they never see a puck!!!

Don't forget, I have Mod power here....might start calling me MotoTek if you keep this up.

Has anybody gone with only 2 claf straps on a VK7 set yet? Just wondering, as that's what I prefer, but I haven't mentioned it to Marc yet, I figure I can always mod the pads when I get them if I'm not liking the 3 strap set-up...
