Duration Product Used:
Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$15.00
Strengths:
Lightweight. Inexpensive. Soft area on thumb to wipe sweat or other body fluids.
Weaknesses:
Complete lack of padding. Closure seems weak.
Similar Products Used:
gloves I use at the gym for weight lifting.
Bike Setup:
GF Hardtail
Bottom Line:
These gloves are probably fine if you're only doing smooth, totally buff XC trails. If you do any rough terrain at all (roots, rocks, etc) these gloves provide no extra cushion. I get numb wrists without some padding, so for me these were no good.

Purchased At:
Jenson USA
Strengths:
Very light weight and breathable. Cool looking design. Fits snug.
Weaknesses:
Synthetic plam. Not sure if this is a weakness yet but it seems like they will wear out sooner. Also it would be nice if they had a full finger option and different colors, that would be bad ass.

Bike Setup:
Top Fuel 98, and an 85hundred
Bottom Line:
I love this glove so much that I ordered 2 more pairs for when these ones wear out. I have only used them for a couple of months and they've held up well. The plam seems like it will wear out first. Everything else is pretty durable. But, do to the light-weight design I suspect they wont last as long as a more durable, heavier weight glove. For the price ($12) they can't be beaten.
