Submitted by mmoore24 a Cross Country Rider from TEXAS
Date Reviewed: April 18, 2009
Favorite Trail:Any where I don't end up in the hospital
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $30.00
Purchased At:LBS and online shop
Strengths:Good padding, warm for cooler weather, good latex grip on trigger finger and along sides of palm
Weaknesses:First purchase: the "x" shaped webbing in the palm (red mesh)ripped within 2 hours of riding XC. LBS didn't have a replacement so they refunded my $. Decided to give them a 2nd chance (due to strengths)and purchased online. rode 35 minutes of XC trail and no problem. Took them out the next day...20 minutes into the XC trail the red mesh tore AGAIN in the palm. Totally frustrated at the fact that these gloves tore TWICE in the SAME place. Will not purchase these gloves again and WOULD NOT recommend anyone purchase these in the future. Unless you ride "no handed" then you should be ok.
Similar Products Used:Fox Sidewinder (wouldn't suggest these either)-palm ripped along the pinky finger after about 3 months
Bike Setup:Jamis Dakar 06 - Time attac pedals, sellia yutaak gel flow, ritchey carbon wcs bars, thomson x4 stem, maxxis larsen tt tires
Bottom Line:With the red mesh inner palm tearing within 20 miles of XC use TWICE I would not recommend !!
Value Rating:2Overall Rating:1
