After long time testing, gloves are finally available from Carpenter soon. They will be available in black, blue and red and available sizes will be M, L, XL.
They are thinner than most of gloves on the market and gives angler better feeling on casting and also durable.

Very nice Tak. I look forward to getting a set of these. Any idea on rough release date?
-
Very soon! :)
-
Japanese or USA XL?
-
How much will they be Tak?
-
I don't know any Japanese manufacturer who produces on the basis of US sizes
Japanese or USA XL?

I was hoping after Carpenter did their charity t-shirts on the US sizes that the gloves might be as well.
It's a pity as I woul love a couple of pairs but the last ones I got were two or three sizes too small.
-
their charity t-shirts were made to normal Japanese size, I think. Yours was something like an XXXL or something like that though! ;D
-
Yes I remember Ben has shrunk after he ordered T-shirt ;D I'll ask if larger size will be available when I speak to them next time.
Will let you know pricing soon.
-
I'll take a red pair in XL, as long as the price is reasonable :)
-
Very very nice - loving the blank ones! WANT!

Carpenter has been serious about developing this gloves and this is certainly not the product they just add Carpenter name on existing common gloves. They have been tested over four years(!) with ten different prototypes.

Hi Tak,
Interested in a pair, I use the fisherman in XXL don't know how they compare but if Carpenter are going to be sending you XXL I'd like to try a pair as i think XL may be too small.
Thanks

I had a few PMs with Andy and will check for the opportunity of XXL size.
Gloves are ready for sale on lure website.

Hey guys,
I grabbed a set of the XLs from Fishhead and they look the goods. I think a set of XXL would suit better but I will use these for the time being.
The build on them is really good and I like the leather finger protector on the casting finger.
I'm looking forward to testing them out in Exmouth in 2 weeks ;D

Thank you Ryan. I've been on discussion on this with them and expecting larger size when they run next production.
Cheers,
Tak
