Mapa Professional Alto 285 (Heavy Duty) - formerly Trident 285

Post by tigga76 »

Manufacturer

A very interesting heavy glove made of natural latex. Unlined (chlorinated) version.
The length is approx. 60cm and the material thickness is 1mm according to the manufacturer. The gloves are thus in a similar segment to the Emporer ME 108.

What is interesting, however, is the grip profile, which clearly distinguishes me from most other gloves, see detailed photos.

That gripping pattern always prevents me from buying gloves like these. Just to confirm: it does make them unusable for 'our purposes' doesn't it?

I would say, as so often, it comes down to personal preference.
Some like it smooth and slippery and others like it rough and stimulating.

For me, this grip profile is also fine and can be fun if you're in the mood. I wouldn't say across the board that it renders the glove useless.
