Hi all,
Currently Thursdasy morning here in New Zealand and I've just unwrapped a parcel of gloves from Kenny - which I ordered online last Friday. That's the fastest I've ever received gloves from tthe U.K (a couple of days quicker than Just Keepers and a week or so quicker than Prodirect!) - so thanks for the prompt service Kenny!
First glance of the gloves is very positive. They look excellent and as good as an unused pair of Sells Wraps I've got. Heading for work now but will be prewashing them when I get there and all going well will be testing them out sometime later today.
I'll update this post with how that goes.
For those who have been asking about the sizing - I ordered the KA gloves in Roll finger size 9. As a comparrison my Sells Aqua Wraps Roll finger that used to be my match day gloves are size 9 and a snug fit are a little tighter than the KA's. My unused Sells Wraps that are an older version and also size 9 fit almost identically to the KA's (visually comparring the unsused Sells and the KA's and I'm struggling to find anything inferior about the KA's at all - and the Sells are a 50GBP pair of gloves vs the KA's at 20GBP)

Sounds like you get deliveries from Pro Direct quicker than I do in the uk!
I have had a chance to see KA gloves now as a freind of mine ordered two pairs. I have to say that these gloves really are fantastic. The quality really did suprise me, was honestly blown away by just how good they are. Fit wise they seemed pretty spot on to me.
Quick update - size wise I concur with earlier comments that they are a very good fit, although the surround cut does make them a little bit looser in the back of the hand area. Happy that the thumb fits really well (so many gloves have thumbs far too large).
Prior to the prewash there wasn't much grip at all - but after one decent wash (water changed a few times) the grip is as good as any glove I've tried including Sells Aqua Wraps and Uhlsport Aquas. Going to wash at least one more time.
Very impressed so far.
Hi All
Just a heads up to the smaller TGB members. The KA gloves, both flat palm and roll fingers are now available in size 5.

Wow I couldn't resist. 2 Days left on the offer and I just had to! Just ordered mine.
Just wanted to say a big thanks for all the support during the launch period of the gloves. The 2 for 1 TGB offer has been a big success allowing people to try the gloves out, and giving me great feedback opportunities.
Thanks again
