Date Reviewed: March 19, 2001 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$35.00 | | Purchased At: | Gander Mountain | | Strengths: | Lightweight, breathable, grippy palms and fingers, windproof, relatively warm | | Weaknesses: | Fabric used for palms and fingers is MUCH too weak to stand up to daily use or serious riding.
| | Similar Products Used: | Kombi, Pearl Izumi | | Bike Setup: | Winter mountain bike with many cold-weather mods (derailleurs don't downshift at -30 degrees) and spiked tires for ice and snow.
| | Bottom Line: | Good glove for a few months, but not nearly good enough to justify the price. Palm material is simply too weak to stand up to normal use. I use this bike as a winter commuter, and after 3 months, the fingers and thumbs are all wearing away - and I'm a road racer, not a mountain biker. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 5, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Strengths: | Warm, not bulky. | | Weaknesses: | After getting wet the leather palms get stiff. Other than that they are great | | Bike Setup: | Stumpjumper M2 pro | | Bottom Line: | Great gloves for riding in the fall or winter. The windstopper keeps your hands warm but Ive never gotten sweaty with them. Since they are thin you have a great feel of your bars. They've held up good after several good crashes too. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Brady's Run or Moraine (It's rough having such nice trails) | | Duration Product Used: |
1 Year | | Strengths: |
Very Warm, Lightweight, Tough, Good Looks, Wind Resistant | | Weaknesses: |
None | | Similar Products Used: |
Why bother? | | Bike Setup: |
GT Backwoods, Manitou FS Ti Palmer, All XT except LX Crank, Mavic 517 CD Ceramics | | Bottom Line: | These gloves are great! They keep your hands very, warm. They are made from Gore Wind Stopper material which blocks the wind very well. They are lightweight and give you a very good feel of the handlebars. The palms are reinforced with a rough surface for added grip. They look really good too! Nashbar had them last year. I hear Gander Mountain (Outdoor Store)has them. Look for specials in the spring (I paid $20. Well worth it). | | Overall Rating: |
