Fox Racing Unabomber Gloves
Product DescriptionTake the Fox Racing Men's Unabomber Glove out for high-speed spin through the woods. Knuckle padding and a tough suede palm keeps your paws protected if you whack your hand on a tree at Mach-loony. Silicone detailing on the inside of the fingers helps you grip your shifters, and a suede-covered thumb helps this high-wear area last through seasons of abuse. Low-and-behold, Fox even gave the Unabomber a water-repellent Ionmask treatment so you can spill water and other delicious beverages without soaking your hands.

dez Date Reviewed: March 20, 2013 Strengths: Cumfy good fit simple Weaknesses: FOX lift your game ! How can a company that makes such good hardware put their name on such a poorly constructed product. I should of gone by my gut feeling after the last pair of gloves that failed made by FOX. These gloves lasted six rides !, no crashes no digging soft thick grips on my bars , the poor design of hard rubber stitched to faux leather on the palm is always going to be a weak point. WHY cant your designers get it right , a pair of $10 gardening gloves are designed better with a one piece leather palm. These were very expensive gloves. Why do these designers try to obtain look over function get your act together lads , stop trying to re invent the wheel and JUST GIVE US SOME GLOVES THAT DONT FALL TO PIECES. I will never buy your shoddy products again and will encourage everyone I see on a mountain bike to avoid them now Im off to the hardware store to buy some ten dollar gardening gloves. Bottom Line:

from San Luis Obispo Date Reviewed: June 23, 2011 Strengths: I'll start by saying that I have the 2011 Unabomber gloves. They look different and have different materials in them and are apparently stronger than the pair shown. Continuing: These gloves are great! I do a lot of all mountain and light freeride. I have eaten it numerous times since I purchased these. In all the falls that I have taken, there is only one small crack in the plastic material on the palm of the glove. They have taken a lot of beatings that have left my hands in great shape! These can breathe too! Weaknesses: There was one ride out of the many that I have gone on where a bit of the material was rubbing on my hand funny which resulted in a tiny blister. I am not sure why this happened, but it hasn't happened since; and that wasn't even my sweatiest ride.

from Mianus, CT Date Reviewed: August 10, 2010 Strengths: great looking Weaknesses: after only 4 uses, the kevlar cloth covering the heel portion of the palm separated from the rest of the glove, leaving a 1 inch tear. This happened after minimal use and 0 crashes. For what you pay, it's poor workmanship and quality control. I contacted Fox, and they said to send it back to the retailer. Why can't fox handle the issue of their poor quality glove directly?

Weaknesses: The glove is a bit loose at the correct size. these things start to smell funky after a couple hours of riding, and make anything they touch smell funky too. a wash would make it go away but it would come right back. my other gloves dont do that.
