Baller_ adamhcaldwell Posted April 7, 2010 Baller_ Share Posted April 7, 2010 The boys at 4Wake.com, down in Charleston, SC,got the pattern for the HO TALON gloves, joined efforts with RADAR and recreated a new version of the TALON GLOVE!!!!!! THEY ARE SICK! I personaly have only used the HO Talons since 2001 and I still have a few pairs of the originals left that I use everyday! I dont know why I love these gloves so much but I do. Anyway, all I know is that these New re-made throback gloves are built EVEN BETTER then any of the original versions put out by HO in the past.  If you have any interest in buying a pair or two, or a whole bunch let me know directly, and I will help you out. These guys had something like 600 pairs made, so dont be shy if you want to get your hands on a bunch.  Anyway, I thought I would share becuase I know I am not the only Talon lover out there! Cheers! Ski well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DW Posted April 7, 2010 Baller Share Posted April 7, 2010 They look like the original straight line swiss kevlars. Can you get a picture of the fingertips, being vertically challenged for skiing, I tend to let the handle out pretty far and wear out the tips if they don't have kevlar on them. The Masterline (C. Claw) clones exhibit that problem. In my book, Claws rule, but the Talon v2 look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skidawg Posted April 7, 2010 Baller Share Posted April 7, 2010 those were my super secret favs, until the locks came out, can't ski w/ anything else, unfortunately i heard this is the last year for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted April 8, 2010 Baller Share Posted April 8, 2010 Forgive me for asking but what is the little metal ring for on the palm side for the glove?skidawg, Are the "locks" you are talking about the masterline pro locks gloves that look a lot like the clinchers? Have you worn clinchers before and how do these compare by both size and function? I have stocked up on about 4 pair of clinchers since the are really hard to come by and they seem to have a very limited production (if any). I was hoping the pro locks would be around for a longer period of time for when I need new gloves.

Baller MattP Posted April 8, 2010 Baller Share Posted April 8, 2010 The "Locks" are made by Radar http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Wbf2PN_5-mA/S73ZoT_z52I/AAAAAAAAAUk/5m6UHqiaEVo/s144/lock_glove_02.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted April 8, 2010 Baller Share Posted April 8, 2010 OH! Those were the old HO Clutch gloves; they didn't last long at HO either. The "Pro" Locks are the masterline answer to the Clinchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
