from Australia Date Reviewed: November 28, 2009 Strengths: I've used fox gloves almost exclusively for the last 7-8 years, and a pair of Sidewinders have always been in my kit. They have, in the past, been fantastic hard wearing, comfortable gloves with good build quality. Excellent materials, good knuckle and palm protection. The velcro closure is an improvement on the older model. Weaknesses: Very poor workmanship on stitching. The stitching around the rubber palm pad actually missed the pad in one spot, leaving the palm weak an creased, and on the back of the other glove the double stitching also missed the panel it was meant to be attaching. Design wise the "lumps" in the back of the hand and fingers have replaced molded protection, but are a bit uncomfortable in comparison.

from el Paso, Tx Date Reviewed: October 6, 2009 Strengths: Good fit and finish. Excellent grip on handlebars and brake levers. Good padding on knuckles, but definitely not too bulky. Breathable, but not so breathable that they fall apart right away. 2009 model (different from picture above as of Oct. 09) comes in several sweet colors. Weaknesses: My hands are somewhere INBETWEEN a large and XL. I buy larges and hope they stretch without ripping, because XL's are just too big.

from Colorado Date Reviewed: April 12, 2006 Strengths: They were on sale. The reinforced palm might be good, that's actually where I have destroyed Sidewinders in the past. Weaknesses: What happened? These are 2005 models and the plastic knuckle ribs have almost all fallen off, they were glued on and not very well. The palm is almost worn through and the padding on the top is kinda sparse. Not sure if it would hold up, but I haven't had a big wreck in a while, so I have no idea. I have had a few sidewinders and these are the worst. Actually, my 99 pair lasted the longest... Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $25.00 Purchased At: Performance Similar Products Used: Other Sidewinders, Digits, etc. Oh I have some Inclines for my road bike. Bike Setup: Not really relevant. A short travel DH/FR bike.
