Goalie Gloves
I now we have had plenty of people askin the best goalie gloves around and we always get the same answers Superfreaks and STX I pros, after having both gloves i think the the superfreaks are to restricting and the i pros are unprotected (thumb), can any one suggest some gloves that are both well protected and unrestricting

I've got a pair of the K18 and believe me they're probably as protected as you can get... massive piece of hard plastic surrounding thumb and all the way down the hand... when i first got them my D-pole tried slashing the top of my thumb... nothing. getting hit right on the tip of the thumb is still pretty painful.. but markedly less than in normal gloves... hope this helps.. oh the thumbs pretty stiff as well, took me a couple of months to wear it in and get any bend in it at all, was playing with 'thumbs up' for a while
superfreaks v I pro's
I think the I pro's thumb protection is good enough. I've got a pair myself and they've done me proud. Dan hunter at EG has the superfreaks and had his thumb nail ripped back a couple of times if not more. I'd buy the I pro's (and have done)!
