New Torspo Surge 150 Gloves

Just came in yesterday.

We just got the Surge 150s in. Full nylon seems pretty heavy-duty. Not too broken in right out of the bag, I've been working them in over the past half hour and they seem to soften up, but I'm wondering how they feel after a while of real use. The base layer of the palm is pretty soft (similar to the Vapor XVI) and I'm not sure how well it will hold up. The reinforced grip zone makes an odd crease where the thumb meets the palm. It digs in a little, but it may work itself out.

The lining gives me the impression that it might absorb a lot of sweat and get heavier as a game progressed.

As for sizing, they come in 12.5, 13.5, 14.5. I wear a 13" Vapor XXX and was most comfortable in the 13.5" Surge 150.
