Strengths: nothingWeaknesses: stitching and customer supportBottom Line: had the 2006 bombers for four years now and still use them. Got the 2010 bombers for christmas, tried them on and the stitching on the palm ripped. Sent them back, waited five weeks to be told I could have a new pair. Wore the new pair for one ride and the stitching in three fingers came out on one hand. The thumb stitching came out on the other. Crap product and crap customer service. Wish I could get another pair of the 2006 bombers.

Strengths: Strong, Carbon Fiber, Thick yet Comfortable, Grippy
Read BelowWeaknesses: A little hot, Velcro comes undone
Read BelowBottom Line: The bottom line is, listen to the guy who has used them for 2 years. Everyone else used them for a maximum of 3 months, except one. I bought these for dirtbiking. I ride enduro; moist, rock trails on my dirtbike. I have crashed a couple times on rocks, and I don't use handguards. And I was fine. Not to mention I have ridden on MTBs for a year and a half. There has only been a 1/4 inch of rubber coming off a finger. The carbon fiber feels good on your knuckles too, not uncomfortable. And they are good and grippy, my only mistake was washing them, some of the padding behind the carbon came out. No biggy though. Ya they're $40 but they are the best your gunna get for protection. TWO THUMBS UP!!

Strengths: Lots of protection, carbon fibre nuckles, good extened section on the wrist cuff to proctect youWeaknesses: bit hot, the wirst cuff has some solid stuff on the side it to protect you but it kinda get in the rodeBottom Line: Note: these are the new versions, they seem to have fixed the problem with the thumb stitching.
great glove, excelent protection with carbon fibre nuckles which you can't even feel but really protect you.
the best feature of these is the wrists. the cuff is really long and is extended on the outer side so that you don't dameage the bone on to of your hand. it does get in the way abit if you are riding and hiking but fine if you are doing dowhiling like me. deffinetly not a XC glove
it is also made of really thick material on top... fake leather or something. it offers great protection but does get a little bit hot.

Strengths: They look coolWeaknesses: Too hot for year around use. Fall apart after a few monthsBottom Line: After less than three months the right glove split along the seam on the right thumb. I hadn't crashed and they didn't get snagged on anything. For $40 I'd expect them to last a little longer. I guess it's time to go back to the Inclines, they lasted me over 2 1/2 years. Bottom line...DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE GLOVES!

Strengths: Looks & feel while trying on at LBSWeaknesses: Seams coming apart after 3 rides - no crashes either! Also the velcro cover has separated from the closure tab. VERY hot to ride in, even for a DH glove.Bottom Line: I usually like Fox stuff, I have a fox helmet that I would buy again in a second but these are terrible. Three rides is all they made before they started coming apart.
Avoid as they are a waste of money.

Strengths: Looks tough and offers good coverageWeaknesses: Not that tough. Seams open with little use. Hot for summer ridingBottom Line: After only a few rides the seams started opening up and a hole appeared in the tip of the thumb. After I sewed up one hole another appeared after another ride. This was not crash damage. My Dianese Oni's hled up for a year and a half of beating till they finally fell apart. The Unibomber may be better but that remains to be seen. I would steer clear of the Bomber.

Strengths: The newer version glove I own work great. I broke my a knuckle on my right hand not wearing gloves. I have these and they protect it great.Weaknesses: Knuckle protector is big enough but tends to slid sometimes not covering all of the knuckleBottom Line: These gloves do an overall good way of protecting your hand and have great grip I reccomend.

Strengths: The look is toughness and slick. Very lightweight and airy.Weaknesses: Very lightweight, too lightweight in fact after one month the seams let go. Neither DGY nor Fox were were willing to help in any way. The glossy plastic knuckle armor is sized for a very small glove, it does not cover the span of the knukles on a human hand.Bottom Line: Lots of great dealers to patronize and lots of other good companies to consider rather than Fox or DGY.
