Need Help with Easton Grey Nash palms!!

So I guess my question is, is this a common problem with this material, and should I have expected this? has anyone else had this issue with these palms? It sucks because I really like these gloves and how light they are, and I REALLY liked the way the palms felt. I would like to keep the gloves and possibly get them repalmed if I have to, does anyone have any suggestions on where to get them done and how much it would run me? If this would end up costing me close to the price of a new pair, I'll be on the hunt for some. So if anyone has any leads on a pair let me know...maybe with different palms though. Thanks!!

For what it's worth, I have had the same problem with Eastons of my own (not sure what type of palms, but they were double thickness and ripped right through), although they were the cheap department store ones (around $50-$60).
Seems like the older/cheaper Easton gloves have this problem, considering I have Bauers in the same price range that have shown barely any wear over the same period of time.
Sorry, but I don't have any suggestions of repalming places, but I'm sure someone else will. Good luck though.

Seeing this made me want to ask if anyone here has used the current retail Easton "Pro" 4-rolls? I've always wanted to get a pair of (legit) 13" Easton pro 4-rolls with the grey nash palms, and seeing how that is basically the spec on the retails I was curious to see if anyone had any experience with this iteration and what their thoughts on them are?

Anything Jagr or Tomas Jurco
Dallas Stars Nexus pant, PP90 shell size S or M

The only one's I've seen shred are these older versions. My newer eastons don't have the same palms.

Yes, this is a common problem with nash palms, and no, without knowing how nash palms are manufactured, you could not have expected this.
i had a pair before with clarino and same thing happen
Clarino doesn't pill and/or split in this way, so, chances are the palms you had were nash.
The old eastons start to shred if they get wet. Dont think there is anything you can do besides replace gussets and palms.
Nash palms when they get wet or are used by someone who sweats a ton, things like this happen. Unfortunately, to replace gussets costs quite a bit.
This is why you need to be careful when washing used gear. Some palms fall apart when exposed to water,
Correct, especially with nash. Nash palms are manufactured with a water based adhesive, so it will only resist moisture to a certain point. Once the palms begin to weaken from use, the sweat begins to permeate the surface and the bond begins to break down. Once broken down, the pilling and the splitting begins, which leads to unhappy hockey players.

Where the problem starts is trying to mill the fabric so thin, because that is how the pro players like it. That is why you see companies playing around with different materials.
The most durable "thin" palm I ever put on an NHLer was Eagle's MSH, a polyester microsuede fabric. That was 10 years ago and they've gone through several variations since. Andy McDonald and Chris Kunitz were the first two NHLers to use it and we got tremendous feedback from both at the time.
