from Alexandria, VA, USA Date Reviewed: March 5, 2009 Strengths: Cheap and strong. Sort of like a tall boy of Steel Reserve. I wore them through the summer and they were not too hot. I wore them through the winter and my hands got a little cold, but it was 30 degrees so I'm not holding it against the gloves. If I want winter gloves I'll buy some. Weaknesses: None that I have found so far. I would recommend maybe trying them on for size. The recommended size for me wound up being a little small. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $20.00 Similar Products Used: Some Trek full finger gloves which didn't last too long. Bike Setup: 2006 Preston FR

from Stevens Point, WI Date Reviewed: October 26, 2008 Strengths: Relatively durable, breath well and good for use in temperatures into the low 40 and up to the low 90s. It comes in a variety of colors, they're inexpensive, comfortable, and reasonable to wear from spring through fall. Weaknesses: The elastic around the wrist wore out after six months of use. I was using this pair of gloves between 2 and 5 days per week from May through Oct 2008. Also, I did fall into some pricker bushes this summer and the prickers penetrated the gloves, ouch! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: all of them Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $11.00 Purchased At: Ebay Similar Products Used: Mizouno baseball gloves.

from West Hills, CA Date Reviewed: October 9, 2007 Strengths: M-Pact-2. Durable, partially padded palm, warm, good grip. Good for crashing. Weaknesses: Glove sizing chart indicates I should wear an XL but I need an XXL. No problem, I bought an additional pair and will use the first pair for around the house. Also, I was mistaken for a bike mechanic at Mammoth Mountain Bike Park. So I had to fix a few bikes before I got on to the gondola.
