Submitted by airdonut41 a Cross Country Rider from UPark, PA

Date 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 good

Weaknesses:    insulations

Bottom 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.

Submitted by oracle a Weekend Warrior from Las Vegas, NV

Date Reviewed: October 4, 2009

Strengths:    Looks, Comfort

Weaknesses:    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.

Date Reviewed: September 14, 2009

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.

Submitted by Michal a Weekend Warrior from Poland

Date Reviewed: July 13, 2009

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.

Bottom Line:   
saw these at the LBS got them and was pleasantly suprised how well they are holding up. no signs of wear'n tear and I wash them after almost every ride too(some cheap gloves cant take it cardboard like fake leather?that wears/melts thru)Like the knuckle protection/soft rubber that flexz well and stops those knuckle pings from the sasa(bamboo like tall grass)that rules the woods here in Hokkaido. Cmftble glove too(8 hrs longest ride in them)! OH, mine are BLACK not the color in the picture up top.

Submitted by Yo! a Downhiller from Dallas, TX

Date Reviewed: March 16, 2009

Strengths:    Good fit, look cool, cool enclosure.

Weaknesses:    Crap manufacturing. These gloves literally fall apart off the rack. The rubber on the knuckles is glued on; it comes off if you bend the fingers too much. The stretchy material in the fingers also becomes frayed and thinned when it touches the velcro, something you really can't avoid lest you be conscience of how you remove your gloves. I feel like the gloves will rip if I pull them off too hard.

Bottom Line:   
Fox is 100% name. They should have taken some Charmin double-ply, made it into a glove shape, and sold it as Fox dirtpaws.

Date Reviewed: February 7, 2009

Strengths:    Comfortable, hold up very well, not too hot, dry fairly quickly

Weaknesses:    could use a bit more padding as they're a mountain bike glove and dont really have any

Bottom Line:   
ive rode all summer and winter with these gloves (obviously layered in cold) and they've held up brilliantly. i normally ride single speed on trails with a lot of steady climbing, so im out of the saddle pulling the majority of my rides. the gloves have no holes, show little wear actually, and are still going strong.

Date Reviewed: October 25, 2008

Strengths:    Price point, breathable, grippy

Weaknesses:    Lycra snags on Velcro.

Bottom Line:   
The Dirtpaw though made for MotoX, its great for MTB use. The pricepoint is great, the glove is breathable and is grippy. One drawback though is that the lycra on the fingers (especially the index fingers) snags on the Velcro closure.

I love this glove so much I bought another pair in another color. I'm inbetween sizes and the XXL is too big while the XL is snug. I'll find out if the seams hold out from the tighter fit.

Strengths:    solid feel, PERFECT fit, good strong grip, comfortable

Weaknesses:    nothin yet!

Bottom Line:   
Solid Grip, nice leather, the fit is amazing, i slept in these gloves for 2 days, when i grip something without them i feel just a tad naked. the rubber on top comes off kinda easy if you land hard, which i do pretty often, but it works. These gloves are solid, i love them. I ride every single day and the one day i forgot them i felt out of control, these are the best gloves i can imagine, no complaints of any consequence. Buy these before you waste your money on worse versions
