Strengths:
Very durable and comfortable. Chicks love 'em cause they look sweet and your hands will not get ripped up. The terry cloth wiper rocksWeaknesses:
None, except that other riders will be jealous and might beat you and take your Qranc stuff.Bottom Line: If you like to wear any sort of glove, Qranc has the right thing for you. They also sell lots of other stuff (body armor, etc.) that is top of the line. Go to www.qranc.com to check it out!

cool when its hot, look different in a good way.Weaknesses:
weird shaped closureBottom Line: i got these on sale at a bike shop for $5!! they where awesome for the price but wouldn't pay over $20 for em. i got fox sidewinders and they are the best. buy the fox unless your a xc rider in hot weather and you find them in a shop for $5.
anyways, they are still great gloves

Bottom Line:
I recently bought a pair of Qranc DH pro gloves, and they are excellent. I havent had any problems with them so far, and they fit great. The wrist bands are long, and support your wrist excellently, while the kevlar and padded back really protects your hand in a crash

Bottom Line:
This is for the DHS shorty model.. A great glove, but a bit warm for summertime cross-country rides. Perfect for spring/fall/mild winters. I took a stitch remover to the upper pads and took them off.. Ahhhh, much cooler, and the glove still looks great. Very durable, just enough padding, and the fit is suberb. Overall, my favorite glove (just nosing out Grandoe Shock-Teks which are also great.)

Bottom Line:
I've been using the dhs shorty gloves for a month or so and I love them, they fit great, and they look trick. the kevlar crash pad is definitely functional, and I say this from personal experience. for a full finger glove, they are extremely well ventilated, and I love the padding on the top of the fingers, definitely a plus for the really overgrown trails, preventing cut up fingers. the velcro closure is much more comfortable than that of like the fox sidewinders, as it doesn't interfere at all with wrist movement, and can't bunch up.
five stars for qranc, one of my favorite companies.

Bottom Line:
I have used a pair of Quake DH gloves for two years now, and I love them. They had perfect fit two years ago, and still have that perfect fit. At first my SRT 800 shifters tore up the side of the thumbs. That wasn't so nice, but I could manage. After that I have used them for a year and a half, without any problems. The palm material absorbs sweat, and grips always, the sweatwiper patches may be a bit small, but adequate and the crashpads have kept my hands from gravelrash. Unfortunatley the lycra in the fingers is worn out. My fingertops is breaking through now, and it is worn so it more like the ladies nylon stockings. In all, a excellent piece of kit (I can't complain on two years lifespan, with crashes and all). My next pair will defenitly be Qranc, possibly the XC5's.

Bottom Line:
I recently purchased a pair of Qranc's new DH Pro gloves, not to be confused with the Quake DH glove. They are sweet! They are very comfortable and protective. They also look great. I would give them five stars but I don't know how long they will last. So far a great glove!

Bottom Line:
The Qranc DH's are a quality product. After some high impact crashes these gloves are holding up great. The extra kevlar on fingertips and palm are great to have when smashing against the rocks. Very durable. I've tried the Speciaized gloves but they didn't compare to the beating these dudes take. Gotta get them!!

Bottom Line:
I got a pair of the Quake DH gloves before last winter, and they have survived thus far. They are only now starting to wear out, with holes developing in the thumb and first two fingers. Overall, they are very protective, comfortable gloves, and I hate to see them go. I'll probably try to find another pair when they rip enough to be useless...

Bottom Line:
Bought these after the Answer Impact gloves I bought split after one 15km road ride. No problems with the DH style though, even after hitting the dirt hard after multiple falls. Every possible feature seems to have been designed in to this glove. Now lets see how long they last. For now I'll give them ......

Bottom Line:
I ride the DH's (full fingers, extra long wrist coverage) and love em. They're really not all that pricey compared to Pearl Izumi gloves. I have a tough time finding gloves that fit my hand correctly - short fingers, big paw - but these work great. I can't wear PI's because I have a LG hand and MED fingers. The Qrancs have enough stretchy stuff across the back of the hand that I wear mediums just fine. The little Kevlar palm saver is a bonus for hardpack crashes. I haven't experienced any workmanship problems, but then again, I don't use Grip Shit.

Bottom Line:
Yup, they're pretty pricey, but a good glove overall. The sticky grip things on the end of the first two fingers really help with braking (my levers are a little slippery) and the kevlar patch on the hele of the palm has saved my hands more than once. My only complaint is that the stitching is a little dodgy (already coming undone after only 2 months of riding) And they could be cheaper.

Bottom Line:
These gloves work, look and felt great when I bought them but they fell apart at the seams pretty quickly which disappointed me. I was going to send them back, but then I'd have no gloves to ride in, and I rather ride with hole filled gloves then none at all!

Bottom Line:
I think that they are very comfortable, and pretty damn bullet proof. I like
the full 3 fingers with grippers and kevlar. The fact that there is minimal
padding, allows more control and a better feel. If you want more padding, I
suggest better grips.
