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!!
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.
