Strengths: Comfortable feel
Strong protection from the tumbles - saved my skin!
Good construction.
Good in winter and seem to keep good insulation when wet alsoWeaknesses: Cant use a touch screen phone with them on
Velcro looses it's stick after a few years
One of the rubber knuckles came a little looseBottom Line: I've had a pair for a few years, they're comfortable and provide good protection for when you do hit the dirt / road.
These provide great protection, the only time I really put it to the test was a decent-speed slide on the road, grazed my legs through long pants but only left a few scuff marks on the gloves.
They offer some warmth for when it's cold and aren't too bad in summer. My first pair lasted about 3 years - a daily commute on the road and weekend mountain bike rides and when I lost them I bought another pair. They're one of the best bits of cycling kit I own!
I'd say these are great for XC and All Mountain type of riding - or commuting and road riders if you're actually concerned about protecting your hands!

Strengths: seem to stay cool in summerWeaknesses: broken a the very beginning! I opened my parcel and I was shocked of the bad quality. WHY DO WE GET SO MUCH CRAP FROM LEADING COMPANIES??? .... quick money - mande in China...
Anyhow, two stiches were already damaged. I sent them back. No more Fox. Still looking for good made gloves :(Bottom Line: Don´t buy them. I had some similar Pearl Izumi before. Not realy excellent but defenetly better. I had them for 3 years hard biking! Though I also use Freeride gloves for heavier usage - at the moment Tryo Lee, they are OK)

Strengths: Good venting, good grip, price, cool looksWeaknesses: SizingBottom Line: I just got these broken in and I really like them. I saw them online and contemplated getting them but wasnt sure about size. I ended up buying them in a MX store and glad I tried them on first,went up a size from normal and still had to break in the index finger valley. Beyond that they are great. They stayed cool in 90* summer riding, kept good grip, and ahve good protection from trail whips. Also I like the light padding in the palm area that is effective and not bulky. All in, a good buy.

Strengths: comfortable

looks goodWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: What can I say, so far these have held up great and are comfortable and breathable. I had my old pair of Fox sidewinder gloves for 9 years before they fell apart so I have high hopes for these.

Strengths: Perfect fit. I have odd-shaped hands and these gloves conformed very well.
Durability. I've had these for a year. I've ridden about 1,500 miles with them, wrecked dozens of times with no cuts to my hands, I use them as my shooting gloves, and I even wore them through Tough Mudder. Thus far, the only damage is one of the rubber sections on the knuckles has started to come unglued.Weaknesses: Doesn't have the terry cloth sweat wipe section that other riding gloves have.Bottom Line: Overall these are excellent gloves. They're very comfortable and they offer excellent protection. If I ever wear these out I will be buying an identical pair.

Strengths: Protection in the places you need it.
Killer looks.Weaknesses: Stitching can be weakBottom Line: I have bought 2 pairs of the Dirtpaws, the first pair was stolen when my house was broken into... my bike was left, but they stole my gloves!
Good gloves, good price. The velcro is strong, but the elastic around the wrist and some of the stitching can be a little weak.

from UPark, PADate Reviewed: March 20, 2011
Strengths: Simple, comfortable, and breathe well. I have used these in all seasons and found them to be a pretty solid choice (obviously they're not great in the winter).Weaknesses: The sizing on these is very strange. I ordered a medium after checking to confirm that my hand size fell in the center of the medium measurement. I got them and they were almost too tight for my forefinger to reach the brakes. After a couple weeks they stretched out and are perfect now, but those first few rides were a little rough.Bottom Line: I would order a size larger than normal. Other than that, if you want a no frills durable glove that breathes well, the dirtpaw is a good choice. Camplosion looks pretty sick, for the record

Strengths: looks goodWeaknesses: insulationsBottom Line: I use these gloves to ride my motorcycle in the city, they work well. The only aspect I would consider for my next gloves is the insulations for the rain. These get wet easily and take couple hours to get dry.

Strengths: Looks, ComfortWeaknesses: Just be careful not to let the finger area touch the velcro when wearing the glove because this will start destroying the material.Bottom Line: This is a great fit glove... for me at least. The quality is awesome and good looks is a plus. This gloves works for me!
Every person has different hand sizes regardless if it's small, medium, large or even xlarge. I recommend you fit the gloves first before buying one.

Strengths: Decent price.
The seem to fit exceptionally well compared to the other brands I've tried on.Weaknesses: A bigger pad to wipe the "monkey splunge" off your forehead would be nice.Bottom Line: I'm not a Clydesdale but the stitches have held up under my 200 pound body...so far.
Great gloves in general.
Who knows what kind of quality control corporations keep but
I ride every other day and haven't experienced the problems some of the other reviewers have.Take a chance and try them they may work for you as well as they have for me.

Strengths: Cool looks, well made (not including rubber that fells of).Weaknesses: Rubber on finger come of after a few rides, it’s glued and simply does not hold. Very slippery inside.Bottom Line: Very poor product. Rubber on finger that is supposed to help keep fingers on brake levers fells of very quickly. But the biggest problem is that event thou my dirtpaws are a perfect fit somehow the inside of the glow is so slippery that my hand slides inside the glows and when my hands get sweaty it becomes very difficult to have a secure grip on handlebars. I would say that this product is dangerous.
Well made and cool looking but made by people who never used it in a practical environment... is good for riding around park but not for MTB.
