Strengths: Lightweight, breathable, grippy palms and fingers, windproof, relatively warmWeaknesses: Fabric used for palms and fingers is MUCH too weak to stand up to daily use or serious riding.
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.
Duration Product Used: 3 months
Price Paid:
$35.00
Purchased At: Gander Mountain
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.

Strengths: Warm, not bulky.Weaknesses: After getting wet the leather palms get stiff. Other than that they are greatBottom 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.
Duration Product Used: 2 Years
Bike Setup: Stumpjumper M2 pro

Strengths:
Very Warm, Lightweight, Tough, Good Looks, Wind ResistantWeaknesses:
NoneBottom 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).
Favorite Trail:
Brady's Run or Moraine (It's rough having such nice trails)
Duration Product Used:
1 Year
