I have 3, 2 buffs and an elk, all with nylon strips.  Never had an issue feeling the string, but others may. ...  I'll  try the kangaroo when/if I lose one... or when/if I wear one out.

I must be one of the few people that didn't like the kangaroo crossover. Mine was too short,and the finger stalls were too big. I might have been happier if I had sent it back,and got another one.

I always wanted to try the buffalo crossover. I finally ordered one. The finger stalls are tight,and it's just the right length. I just got it yesterday,and already like it.

If you zoom in you can see where the plastic strips are.

I have a buffalo as well and can confirm the fit is different as you experienced. I believe John cuts them from a template so size wise they should be the same. The kangaroo definitely does not stretch like the elk and buffalo and that's why I think it feels smaller. My Buffalo, elk and kangaroo are all XL and the kangaroo has a good bit more tensile strength to it.

The Roo stalls weren't snug enough for me either initially. I soaked the stalls in rubbing alcohol and warm water for an hour or so then threw the glove in the dryer. Those stalls tightened up amazingly! Been great ever since. I'd buy another no question.

Nice looking buffalo glove there! They sure are quality!

I don't own a roo, but my buffs are the best glove I've ever use by far.
