(haven't seen these avaialable locally...?) Thin and not bulky, no padding, with what looks to be just the right amount of grippy stuff.<br /><br />I love my other brand of glove for their thin tactile feel and grip but their a little flimsy and I'd be lucky to get a few paddles before they Shawn Armitagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580334379295868835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338035162763763423.post-78225163315820578042013-01-07T17:13:18.225+10:002013-01-07T17:13:18.225+10:00Sure.

Occasionally I approach manufacturers for items I desire and sometimes is the other way around: they contact me. However, I could not honestly review items that I personally don't use coz it would be just an assessment, not a review.
