Professional glove testing at Hejduk Sport brings the winners in protection and feel

Choosing the right hockey gloves is no longer just about picking a color that matches your jersey. Modern gloves must excel in three key areas: elite slash protection, maximum palm feel, and wrist mobility. At our facility in Opatovice nad Labem, we tested the latest models for the current season from industry giants Bauer and CCM, the aggressive innovator Sherwood, and the value-leader Winnwell.

Sherwood Rekker Morph Pro: Adaptive protection without compromise

If you are looking for a glove that defines the future, the Sherwood Rekker Morph Pro is currently the technological leader. During our testing, we were impressed by the Viconic Impact technology, strategically placed in high-impact zones to disperse energy with incredible efficiency. The unique E-Z Prime cuff allows for an extreme range of wrist motion, which you will appreciate during shooting and stickhandling. The Morph Pro is not just a competitor to Bauer or CCM – in terms of adaptive fit and lightness, it is often a step ahead.

Bauer Vapor Flylite: Revolutionary Defense Cloud Tech foam

The new flagship Bauer Vapor Flylite is engineered for lightning-fast hands. At our Opatovice warehouse, we verified the new Defense Cloud Tech (DCT) foam, which replaces traditional materials. This lightweight foam absorbs impact energy brilliantly while resisting sweat absorption, ensuring the gloves stay light for the full 60 minutes. The Dura-CONNEKT palm is 15% more durable than before, yet provides such a sensitive feel that you have perfect control over every puck movement.

CCM JetSpeed FT8 Pro: The king of maximum breathability

The brand-new CCM JetSpeed FT8 Pro excels in mobility and ventilation. The improved AER-TEC ventilation system, combined with premium ZoteFoam®, ensures top-tier air circulation and keeps your hands dry. The anatomical fit follows the hand so perfectly that the glove feels like your natural extension, while reinforced PE inserts provide elite protection in key zones.

Winnwell AMP: Quality that makes sense for everyone

For hobby hockey players, the Canadian brand Winnwell remains a staple. The AMP series models offer solid protection complemented by the patented CleanSport NXT technology. This enzymatic palm treatment actively breaks down sweat and odor. It is the ideal choice for players looking for functionality, long-term durability, and the best price-to-performance ratio on the market.
