EASTON LACROSSE GLOVE LINE - MAKO & STEALTH RS: GLOVE DEVELOPMENT & INJECTED THUMB GUARD DESIGN
Designed by the Montreal & LA design teams, the collaboration included the product development in creating tech packs, 3D CAD, size grading, sample/ fit/ construction feedback, material sourcing, quality control and development visits to factories around APAC.
The Mako gloves use a traditional EVA foam insert blocking design, featuring a patented independent floating top layer, creating a glove inside a glove effect, allowing superb breathability and smoother finger movement when worn. High-frequency TPR 3D graphic details were also bonded to the PU fingers to provide added protection. The AX Suede used on the palm areas gave a soft feel when worn without compromising durability or grip.
The Stealth RS/ Core gloves use EPP foam inserts in the blocks to create an ultra-lightweight and protective design. The thumbs on both Mako and Stealth gloves allowed the patented HDPE injection-moulded thumb guard to be attached for extra protection against any high-speed ball impacts. The thumb guard would easily snap onto the thumb blocks and be securely attached throughout the games.
