from Seattle Date Reviewed: July 16, 2010 Strengths: Comfort and attention to detail in the features. Their slim-fitting style, with a spandex back, provides efficient control when gripping tightly, minimum bulk and maximum lightweight comfort. Never found the seams rub or annoy on long rides, and love the terry cloth thumb for runny noses in the drizzly northwest weather. Found the gloves to be very durable on crashes. The reinforced thumb-crotches keep from handlebar wear-and-tear, and keep the hands from fatigue during tight gripping. The outer sides of hands (below the pinkies) are patched with a swath of Kevlar for extra protection against falling or grazing trees. 2mm open-cell foam covers key gripping palm areas for protection and comfort. Finger gussets allow for great flexibility when clenched around the grips--so again, nothing wears on the skin harshly. Adjustable wrists with convenient/quick Velcro closure. Material covering the vulnerable wrist is neoprene, which offers protection against sudden impact but remains flexible and soft on the skin. Finally, to maintain airflow to the fingers, small ventilation holes punctuate the material to prevent sweating while gripping hard. Weaknesses: Hmm... the silicone on the trigger fingers and thumb, which help with gripping, are beginning to peel slightly.. Other than that, not many weaknesses. But keep in mind, these are all-mountain gloves not classified as DH gloves, so they lack that extra padding that you'll find on heavy-duty ones, often across the top of the hand.
