Strengths: Durable, great protectionWeaknesses: Every other Dakine model I bought was a medium, but these ran slightly smallBottom Line: The best part about these gloves is the plate that covers the meat of your hand. Ofcourse the carbon nuckles are good too, but when you land face down on your gloves, that part really saves your hands if you fall. They are a very solid glove, and I wish Dakine would continue to make them or atleast new year models, and I wish I had a large or I would still be wearing them now. My forefinger burnt a hole right through the tip because they ran slightly small.

Strengths: great fit, palm protection.Weaknesses: closure is a little cheesy but, no big, because I don't use it anyway.Bottom Line: It's a great mt. glove. It's the only pair of gloves that I ride with.Great protection & you don't even notice that their on. The palm protection is very cool. I'll buy another pair when these wear out.

Strengths: Multi piece leather sewn with double stitching for an ergonomic and durable fit. My favorite part about these gloves is the carbon fiber protection on the palms. They aren't the way while gripping the bar and they have been well testing in crashes with no damage to my palms. The carbon knuckles fit nicely and protect well, but haven't seen as much action.
Three years of use on the Shore and Whistler and the only signs of wear are where the carbon meets the leather on the palm (due to crashes and usual wear) and at the end of two finger, since they are made of a ventilating mesh.Weaknesses: They can be a little hot for climbs, but that isn't a weakness specific to this glove and they really aren't designed for climbing or cruising. These are DH/freeride gloves. Otherwise, none.Bottom Line: They are a bit pricier than many gloves, but they are worth it.

Strengths: Protection!Weaknesses: Kinda hotBottom Line: No reviews on these so far, I'm surprised.
I have a basic pair of full fingered gloves that are nice, but as my riding advances, so does the terrain I ride on. Big rocks = big falls, and these gloves are great at keeping all my skin where it belongs. On my hands. The knuckle protection is great, but where these really shine over the other gloves I tried on is that big pad in the palm of your hand. It's perfectly placed for where you'll be landing when you go overboard. Overall I'm very happy with these, even though they're a little warm sometimes. Protection comes at a price though.
