I'm glad to hear they're changing/eliminating the inside-of-the-wrist strap design. I bought a pair of Impacts last March/April, and while they were well-constructed, they didn't work out for my glove use. I bend my wrists in quite often, and the edge of the strap ends consistently bit into my skin, despite my trimming and shaping to fix the problem. Also, I'm constantly gripping bare and anodized smooth metal, and the suede-like gripping surface on the fingers and palm tended to slide a bit before gaining any purchase, which is something I simply can't have in a glove. Again, the construction was top-notch--I usually wear out not only the leather, but the stitching on gloves (sides and ends of fingers, and on the palms) in a matter of a couple months. The Impact gloves I had showed very little wear on the palm and fingers, and no obvious wear on the stitching after two months of use. I'm sure they'd be a great tactical glove; they just didn't meet my particular glove needs.
