Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:

Purchased At:
John Bull
Strengths:
Looks rad. Fit me well too.
Weaknesses:
Started falling apart after about 3 months, first the rubberised bits on the fingers starter falling off, then the material on the ends of the fingers started developing holes, then finally the stitching on the palm ripped open. Pretty much rooted after one summers riding.
Smelly too...
Similar Products Used:
Fox Wrist Wrap 2, Oneal MX gloves
Bike Setup:
Mainly used for trail riding on a Yeti 575.
Bottom Line:
They were good, until they fell to bits. I think the major flaw is in that the palm is not one piece, but multiple bits of leather stitched together. This combined with below average construction means they weren't gonna last the distance, unfortunately. They're pretty hot looking gloves though, I had the olive greeny ones.

Strengths:
fit, comfort, initial grip
Weaknesses:
durability
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
After one 15 mile ride, my fingers were showing through the palms of the gloves. Within 2 rides, the silicone grips had started falling off, and the holes in the fingers had only expanded. Also, the pad on the palm was essentially useless after maybe 5 rides.
Because I got these gloves on closeout, they may be from a previous season... not sure how this would affect the durability, but maybe I just had bad luck?
