The True XC5 gloves are made with an improved tapered fit that is designed to take the shape of the player's hand. This tapered fit works with a flexing cuff to provide a custom protective fit while maintaining optimal control. The exterior of the glove is made with pro nylon materials for both breathability and flexible when worn. These materials offer good durability and are resistant to abrasions and skate cuts. The fingers of the glove are cut with three breaks from the index to the ring finger and two on the pinky. True also utilizes their Trueflex+ lock thumb to avoid hyperextension of the joint and protect against slashes. The XC5 protects your hands with 20mm dual density EPP and PU foam for elite protection in all sections of the glove at a mid-range price. This padding combines the two types of foam to provide superior protection. On the inside of the glove, the nylon liner is treated with a Microban Antimicrobial sytem to help reduce the growth of odor causing bacteria by up to 99.99%. Finally, the palm of the glove features a beige clarino base palm with overlays in high traffic areas for increased durability.
