Layout Ultimate Frisbee Gloves - Ultimate Grip and Friction to Enhance Your Game!

For some asinine reason, I developed a problem with dropping passes over the last six months. I had some good success with some UnderArmour batting gloves but I wanted to try something specific for ultimate. Tried them today and these gloves are excellent. The dorsal surface of your hand breathes wonderfully in them while the palmar side has some very excellent, tacky coating that truly assists in helping you grab the disc. Personally, I feel they make my throws much crisper as well. My forehand flick releases beautifully in these and I can really send a laser at an open cutter. For the price, superb product. I also suffer from palmar hyperhidrosis and these gloves keep my hands dry. No more errant blades with these! Highly recommended if you have issues catching a disc, excessively sweaty hands, or want to throw that KFC-style extra crispy pass. My proximal hand to distal third digit measurement is roughly 18.6 cm so I opted for a small vs a medium so that the gloves would feel like an extension of the skin. I would say my full palm extension is only about 85% of normal with the smaller size but then again you don't catch a frisbee with your palm in the "high-five" position so I do not notice any functional restraints on the range of motion of my hands with the smaller size. Love them, will buy more if they ever quit on me.

I finally gave in and bought ultimate friction gloves. These are $10 cheaper than Friction gloves and Mint gloves so I chose these, and I'm really glad I got them. This is my first winter outside of California, so my first time playing in freezing and slightly below freezing weather. I resisted getting these since I don't want to rely on them, but they're working quite well.For reference, I got a size XS and my hands are 6.75" from the tip of my middle finger to the base of my palm, and 7.25" circumference around my knuckles, and the XS is a tad bit big. The velcro wrists help me pull them tight enough to work for me. The grip is pretty sticky, and I've been able to grab things I normally wouldn't, but my throws are still adjusting. I think my throws would probably be a little more accurate without, but I've also only played with them a couple times, so I'm still adjusting. In freezing cold weather, these are great just as an extra layer to help keep feeling in my hands, but they are thin and very breathable, so too far below freezing and if you add in wind, they don't do much at all for warmth.

I bought these for my son for Christmas. They were great quality but a little too big for him. So I gave them to my husband, LOL, and ordered another pair for my son in a smaller size. I rarely review items but these are too good not to. My son and my husband are natural athletes and are among the best players at their Saturday ULTIMATE game the last three or four years. My son's comment made me SO happy about my purchase: "I didn't realize what I was missing." Super cool. Delighted. Will definitely recommend and purchase more when new colors come out. Thank you, LAYOUT!!

I've been playing Ultimate regularly in summer leagues for the last several years. I'm a decent player. My backhands are good, I can catch well, but my forehands are around 50/50.With these gloves my backhand throws remain the same, but I've noticed an improvement with the confidence with which I catch the disc. Previously when there were some throws made at me that were a bit off there was maybe a 70/30 chance I would catch the disc properly (if the throw is made well I would catch properly almost 100% of the time :)), but with these gloves I've upped it up to maybe around 90/10 for catching throws that are a bit off! My forehand throws have also improved...I feel like they've gone up to maybe 75/25 with my throws going in the path I intended them to go in!Besides me personally noticing an improvement with my forehand throws and catching, my teammates have also commented the last couple of games since I've been wearing these gloves about how they think the gloves have been working out well for me too!I wasn't sure what to expect with these gloves...but after using them the last few games I didn't realize what I was missing all these years! In previous seasons I would jokingly ask some of my teammates who wore gloves "You wear gloves? Do they really help?" and I would always get the same answer "Yes, they help, you should get a pair!" But I kept putting it off because I wasn't convinced. Well, now I know better :)

Can't speak to the long term quality as I've only used them this weekend. They feel pretty good, fit better than I expected. I noticed the fingers looked pretty boxy in the photo, but didn't notice any extra fabric on the tips on the ones I received. After some quick practice and minor adjustments, they seems to do a good job in helping grip the disc. I noticed an improvement in crispness of my flick throws which had previously been prone to a bit of wobble. Catching was never much of issue and the gloves had no noticeable negative effect in that department. Overall I'm pretty pleased and will likely wear to the next event I join.Side note: These gloves are not going to help stave off the cold. I admit that was part of the reason for their purchase but I can't say I expected much from that department as it isn't really what they are made for.Good stocking stuffer for the ultimate enthusiast in your life.

I ordered the xs women's size. The fingers and palm fit nice and perfect. Just the area between my thumb and pointer, there's a gap between my glove and where my hand actually ends. Otherwise it's a great feel. I've been using the hucknation gloves, my new layout gloves felt bulkier and gripper at first. But the more I used them, I realized that it's more durable and gives me more control over the disc. I'm liking them a lot so far. We'll see how long they last.

Really good, perfect fit and perfect for frisbee

Mine started to were out 2-3weeks after my purchase. I had to sew an hole on my middle finger after a couple days. Also, i had to sew the velcro back cause it was strong enough.Having gloves to play defintely helps though, and the gloves are great for that. They are not sturdy enough, thats all.

Bought these for winter or rainy disc golf. Great so far in colder temperatures, but no grip in the rain. My thumb slides around on top of the disc once it's wet - so much that it's even more slippery with gloves on. Will be trying other brands of "friction" enhanced gloves.

Hey, Layout makes customers satisfied, and makes great products. So first of all, their gloves are legendary. Its like wearing a glove of glue. Second, top tier customer service. So i emailed them explaining my situation, and they were able to come through and help me out. (thanks Jake!!!). Good company, good product, say less. I got the large size and it fits like a glove. I mean it is a glove, but its honestly like the size was custom fitted for me.Thanks Layout, Luther

Great grip, great size, great shipping, helped my performances while in game, defenitly would recommend this! People in my team all tried it and asked me where I got them!
