Cooper Hockey Gloves

Post by TK6598 » Sun Sep 29, 2013 2:19 pm

Have searched these forums for where to put this and pretty sure (hopefully) that this is the right place,

Got my Kropserkel Cylon in the other day and thought it looked awesome and now I find out it may not clear for trooping as the gloves are not accurate enough (still haven't told my mum and girlfriend yet as they bought me it). so been trying to track down some of these Cooper gloves or anything that is very similar that anyone has and wants to sell on.

These are the gloves that came with the cossie and TBH I thought they looked the bizz!

Really gutted at the mo! :cry:

Hopefully someone can help out but for now I'm going to go into a corner and cry, then continue watching the Vikings take on the Steelers!

I guess we ave to remember that the Krop suit goes for the "cool- it's a Cylon" effect. The gloves he provides look pretty neat in my opinion (inaccurate but neat). Finding cooper gloves on e-bay should be pretty simple though... and many times cheap!

Those are beefy. Also the trim needs to be the vinyl type from the undersuit, and not a chrome strip.

Back again!

Hoping you guys will be able to give me a yes/no on the following gloves. A bit pricey methinks for what they are (I actually have no clue about hockey gear so these may be the bargain of the century).

Still in a bummer after finding out the supplied gloves I got probably won't be clearable so even more money has to be spent.

I think I should take up stamp collecting! :salute:

They're close, but not perfect.

Here's an example of how screen-used gloves look like:

Thanks guys!

Been onto the Bay of Fleas and Amazon etc,etc and these gloves do crop up from time to time but can go for really silly money at times (especially the 28's). But they never appear in the UK and shipping/import costs can be horrendous.

Will keep looking and in the meantime will just go with the gloves I have for now and hope they clear as is.

Wow man are they the gloves that come with your Kropserkel armor? Sorry to say but wow they are worst that mine! I really hate the tacky silver tape around them. I replaced mine with chrome bands! Why I don't know they don't need them. I'm already hunting for new ones. I like mine for the time but.

Sorry for my Australian ignorance but can you guys advise if these gloves would reflect the original screen used gloves?

Those are very very very very VERY close, RedaV. Great eye!
They are as close as you can get without being exact.

The only difference with that pair is the knuckles on the fingers. They have that little patch of black. An exact Cylon style has no knuckle detail - the figures are one solid chunk of padding.

If those are a good price it would be worth the money to get them, indeed. I have a pair just like them as a spare just in case something happens to my 1:1 set ever.

Thanks for all the input guys! Very much appreciated and I saw thios egloves you posted up "Centurion".

I have seen quite a few similar type of gloves on Ebay and so forth and the one thing that has stopped me getting them has been the horrendous import tax the beloved UK Customs would slap on them as they are always in America or Canada. I did see a very good pair on the UK side of Ebay but they were for a child and I would have struggled getting a finger inside let alone my whiole hand.

I will just have to keep looking and hope that something crops up in the future!.
