Red face

I met you at the MSBA show and you are a nice guy. I know Crazy Al too and think the world of him but I am just stating my view is all and I am glad you understand that it is my view only and I think we are free to express our points of view. I still can't see the cost for them or the bags etc. Maybe cause I own a zillion plugs I don't worry about the prospect of my bag dumping or my gloves having the grip tip etc. I will go away now. Carry on and fire at will. No disrespect intended, just the way I see it.

Why even try.........

AS gloves

Hi Kadir. I have not seen nor tried them out in person, but one thing I might recommend is that they come with a small snap so that if you are wading and need to take one or both off, you can quickly snap them on to the other glove, to the loop on the front of your skinz, belt, etc. so you don't lose them while using your bare hands. Are the index fingers thumb pads beefed up for braid?

Ever look at Burton snowboard gloves? The've go this special fabric on the index finger too called SnAP: Snot Absorption Pad. I could use on in the cold1

I'd be happy to test out a medium pair for you when you send me my Evo 2 back I have the large plug bag and can attest to it keeping everything intact when I get slammed off a rock. The only issue I have with the lg. bag i that the spool pouch is too snug for my 706 spool. It should be desinged so that if you are wearing gloves, you can pull it out. The single row bag looks awesome and mighty tempting! Keep up the good work Kadir & Al! Any tough, breathable bibs/jetty pants coming out soon?

Flap,

No offense taken nor was it disrespectful....I also think your nice guy! Cost is relative to quality and quality is relative to comfort and fuctionalty and both are relative to longevity and productivity in what we do.

Quality especially is critical as the environment breeds abuse and the gear has to hold up. All of these factors dictate price because of the workmanship and materials involved. No one should tell another what is best for them whether it be based on application or price. The only thing I know is the better something is thought out and made, the longer it will last and the better it will perform. Kinda like a buying a custom rod or walking into K-Mart and getting one of their combo's....not exactly the same. Same as I said earlier, lesser quality ends up costing more (over time) and not performing as well during the whole time.

Skat,

That is a very good suggestion and one that will probably be incorporated in down the road; good one, thank you!

Nice try on the demo request by the way....your only about 8-12 months too late

Thanks again folks!

Kadir
