Im just so impressed. I have used these gloves during city rides, trail and downhill rides, and also marathon XC race and the list goes on. They just rock. They are worth every single $ i spent.

$17.00 | | Purchased At: | Newington Bike | | Strengths: | These gloves are probably the best I have ever used for two reasons. The first reason is that they are durable, unlike other gloves i have used they do not rip easily and the seams are well stitched. The second peice that I like is the venting. While these gloves are ful finger they still manage to keep my hands fairly cool while I ride. | | Weaknesses: | The only weakness I found with these gloves is that after using them for a while they do build a little bit of moister on the palms an do not grips as well as other gloves I have used. | | Similar Products Used: | fox dirtpaws | | Bike Setup: | trek 4300, manitou sx, lx rear, xt crank w/ ti. bb, xt front, crowbars, rockwerks padals, deore brakes | | Bottom Line: | the bottm line on these gloves is that for a decent price you get just that a decent pair of gloves. if i had to choose between these and the dirtpaws which i used to ride though i would have to go with the dirtpaws. they fit a little more snug and look a little bit cooler. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$18.00 | | Purchased At: | nashbar | | Strengths: | Great balence between comfort and padding, very flexible, looks cool, and doesnt seem to want to rip at all after countless falls that would shred outher gloves. Fairly cool even though all black with lots of padding. | | Weaknesses: | Hard to clean, I can never seem to get this absouloutly discusting smell out of them, also get rock hard if u havent used them for awhile. | | Similar Products Used: | Fox dirt paws, Azonic Motos | | Bike Setup: | Why does that matter for gloves? But I use Yeti hardcore grips and my hands never slip! | | Bottom Line: | Great Gloce, im never buyin any glove that doesnt look exactly like this one great desighn and deal. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
