I only gave this item 4 stars because I have only had them long enough for 2 games, so can't say how durable they are. These gloves are very comfortable! Just the right amount of padding in the palms for protection without giving up flexibility. I get a firm grip on the brush handle and with no slipping! The fabric parts of the glove have some stretch. I can put them on and take them off without opening the wrist strap. All around great gloves!
