Louis Garneau Power Grip Glove. Whether you ride a single speed jumper, full 2009 XTR build, or a beat up old ride with grip shifts, these gloves are there to provide comfort and protection with every movement you make.
Strengths: Very comfortable, good grip, light. I quite like the design.
Weaknesses: Very bad durability, worn out very very quickly.
Bottom Line:
I wanted some good quality gloves that would last and picked these which, I was told, were the best available at the shop.
My first impressions were great and loved how they feel. However, I found out very quickly the fabric used is barely stronger than paper. After 1 month (200km of cross-country and 100-200km of road), my right thumb was already going through the glove.
Other fingers and the left thumb followed a week later.
I can't think of any type of rider I would recommend them to. I'm very disappointed and just bought a pair of Cannondale gloves which I hope will last longer (review in a month or two).
