The most premium product our gaelic football glove lineup, the AH Cold Blooded gloves combine a number of unique features to create what we think is the best gaelic glove on the market.
Identical to our standard Raptor Grip gloves, a lightweight, moisture-wicking backhand material with a reinforced backhand wrist closure keeps the glove light and the palm unburdened with excess fabric or Velcro. The latex palm material, however, is what makes this glove stand apart. Made of premium German Contact latex (the same material you would find on top-of-the-line goalkeeper gloves) these gloves have a tackiness that's unmatched in their field. This latex is slightly thicker than a standard latex, which provides both a bit more cushion on impact with the ball as well as added durability/life.
The packaging also doubles as a useful carrying case to allow the gloves to dry properly after play without allowing the latex to stick to itself and degrade prematurely. All latex palmed gloves will break down over time, but proper storage and care will extend the life of a pair for as long as possible!
We've done a lot of research on Canadian shipping and the options that we have available at checkout are the best choices we have found to date. They're not the cheapest available up-front price, but they are the most transparent.
A common issue with shipping goods from the US to Canada is couriers asking for hefty "Collect on Delivery" fees from customers in addition to the price you paid in shipping on the site. The options we have available include customs/duties as well as brokerage fees so the only potential additional fee will be taxes. If you are charged customs or brokerage fees upon delivery of an AH parcel, please contact us and we'll cover those fees for you.
Additionally, the shipping costs for multiple items doesn't increase much over the cost of a single item as long as we can fit them in the same type of packaging. Due to this, if possible, it's a great idea to set up a single order with friends (or to build up a wish list of a few items yourself before placing an order) rather than purchasing separate shipments of single items more frequently.
We're constantly monitoring our options and if any better/more economical shipping options come available we'll be sure to update those here on our website!
