Word!!

More Word!!
I have 2 pairs of the Phantoms and a pair of the Titans , and a pair of the Akiras.

They are very comfortable . The palms are Kangaroo. The Titans have Sting Ray on the meaty part of your hand with gel padding underneath that, plus there is Sting Ray located across the meaty part of your Hand across to the edge of the side of the hand , and up the outside of the gauntlet.

There are also Sting Ray on the knuckles of the two outside Fingers, and on the last knuckle of the middle Finger too w, gel padding underneath.

The main knuckle area is Titanium covered Carbon Fiber.

There are also 2 round areas of CF , one at the inside base of the Thumb and one on the outside protecting your last Knuckle.

The chassis of the Glove is a soft Cow leather w, numerous areas of gel padding , a Velcro strap closure at the Wrist and a Velcro flap closure more up the inside at the high wrist.

There is a Visor wipe on the left hand Glove's index Finger made of rubber. ( Photos below )

Held Phantoms: This Glove is also super comfortable being a full gauntlet like the Titans and the Akiras.

The Phantoms are once again made w, a chassis of Cow leather and a Palm of Kangaroo. They also use String Ray skin because it is so tough and abrasion proof.

Unlike the Titans , only the meaty portion of the hand is protected by the Ray skin w, gel padding underneath and the last two Fingers have their knuckles protected w, the Ray skin .There's double padding on the middle Finger .The main knuckles and down the outside of the wrist is protected w, Carbon Fiber and along the side of the Wrist there is gel padding under the CF.The back of the Wrists are protected w, extra gel padding.

The Fingers have vent holes and the back of the Wrist is vented in both the Phantoms and the Titans.

Once again the Phantoms close w, a Velcro wrist strap and a Velcro flap higher up .

The Akiras fit as comfortably as the other 2 long gauntlet Gloves .

One big difference from the other 2 , the Akiras are not vented.

They are Cow leather w, Kangaroo palms .

They have Carbon Fiber main knuckles and have rivet heads as sliders on the meaty portion of the hand .The last 2 knuckles are protected w, padded Kevlar.

They do have an area of Carbon Fiber w, gel padding underneath in the area of the lower Forearm/ upper Wrist. There is extra gel padding in the Fingers and the back of the Wrist.

They close in the same manner as the Titans and the Phantoms.

I rate these Gloves as excellent even at there rather lofty price.

I have for comparision , Apinestars GP Tech, Dainese Metal Racers, Alpinestars GP Pros, Spidi Pentas, and these 3 models of Helds.
