Strengths: Good Grip on my bars and barends (When I used them), Stopped the vibration numbness you get when you ride for long periods of time.Weaknesses: Contruction wasn't that great and needed alot of repairs with a thread and needle. No sweat wipe on em and the ventalation at least in my eyes was not hen good. Dryed out pretty easy the palm pads are cracked now.Bottom Line: These were a very good glove when I used them. They are retired now from the constant use the got. I did not like the idea though that I had to keep repairing them with needle and thread. Most of the fox gloves I used had this happen. I also felt that the ventalation was very poor compared to my other gloves. Theleather palm pad dried out pretty easy and this is the final reason I retired them. Now I use the best glove I have ever tried The Oakley Factory Pilot. This is one bad ass glove Airaprene in between the fingers, Kevlar inserts in the palm, stick pads on the tips of the fingers, Lagre port vents on the front of the fingers and to top it off with a full carbon fiber knuckel guard that cover all your knuckels not just two on some of the imatators versions, This glove looks like you could knock someone out with one punch. I Love these, the foxes were good these are the best I have tried!

Strengths: not too muchWeaknesses: they fell apart after less than a week, (thats why i havnt used em for long) so i sent them back and sure enough FOX lost them in the werehouse. they said they got them but then lost them.Bottom Line: they are not a good glove at all. mine fell apart after less than a week. so i sent them back (i work at the store so i figured i knew what i was in for) well i kept cheking back and nothin from them, they said there still trying to find them. they recieved them but lost em. well i sent them back just after the 24hr race in canmore so end of july, well now its middle of september and FOX the dumb a$$ h0L3$ still hasnt got me my gloves back.

Strengths: Comfortable when broken in.
Survived my learning curve on motocrossers, enough said.Weaknesses: The colorfades a bit after a few wash cycles.Bottom Line: This thing survived my first months of riding off-road, which means it had way too many encounters with the ground. I changed to Thors because the Fox weren't available. I gave those away when I sold my bike (YZ80, now I have a CR125). The Thors are holding up well, but aren't nearly as comfortable as the Foxes. My next gloves will definatly be a pair of Fox Pawtectors.

Strengths: Quality contruction
Durability
Nice fit
Good protectionWeaknesses: Not very warmBottom Line: Basically I agree with everything that has been said about these gloves so far. The velcro strap really works well (unlike some that are found on cheaper gloves) and the fit is perfect for my hands (i.e. no slipping inside the glove). The outer plastic padding on the knuckles and the top of your hand make for good overall protection when slashing through a tight single track. But, as I mentioned above, they do not offer much in the way of cold weather protection. Of course, I don't think they're designed to keep your hands warm, so go by some Lobster Claws or something like that. I just wish they would keep your fingers warm if you ride in 30 degree temps. Being a cheap bast@rd, I actually slide on another pair of gloves over the Fox's when I ride in cold weather. Works like a charm! But, given what they were designed for (e.g. warm weather nountain bike riding/racing) they rack up five flamers...

Strengths: full-finger, air holes, texture, style, colorWeaknesses: none so farBottom Line: I've only ridin with them a few miles so far because I bought the gloves today. I figured I should get full-finger gloves just because they are better in some cases. I liked Fox so I tired their gloves and loved them! the look and feel are great! Thanks Fox

Strengths:
Very comfortable, not expensiveBottom Line: I have been using these gloves nearly every day for 3-4 months and I am very impressed with the comfort compared to others I have tried. You put them on and forget about them. The velcro strap works well. So far they seem to be pretty durable, but I haven't crash tested them on sharp rocks etc. I have had them covered in mud and dust and after giving them a good soaping they come up like new. Also the price was in the middle of the range at my LBS, so overall they seem good value. I don't know why you would pay more for a set of gloves - other than being longer lasting.

Strengths:
Looks are great. I like the way that the velcro strap wraps under your hand so it creates a top in which there is no strp (looks cool). Feels like your hand is stuck in a cloud and there is LOTS of protection.Weaknesses:
bike shop didnt have em so i had to order em. But other than that they are perfect! :)Bottom Line: These gloves are straight up CRISP!! I dont think you will find a better looking glove then these ones. If you do find a better looking glove than they probobly wont have the comfort as these of the amount of protection that these ones do. Buy these gloves and I promis you that you WILL NOT be disappointed. FOX RULEZ!!
