Bottom Line:
these gloves are the nicest gloves that i have used. The fox gloves held up fairly well. I had a bad experience with AXO gloves. A pair self destructed in a 12 hour race when I called AXO customer service I was shuffled to someones voice mail and never heard another thing.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE GLOVES!

Weaknesses:

Similar Products Used:

Bottom Line:
Good gloves, but the sizing on my pair is a bit off. The right glove is perfect, the left one is way tight. Both are tagged medium. Can't complain at the price, though.
The Wristflex system is just strange - small flap extending cuff of glove on the underside of the wrist. Why? Can't cut it off without uglifying the glove. Stupid.

Bottom Line:
this is the perfect glove for most types of riding.even if it pissed down you still stayed comfortable & on a really cold(wind chill factor -10) day i wore a base layer glove underneath for a bit of extra warmth,it restricted movement a little bit but not enough to annoy.a very versatile all round glove.

Bottom Line:
As you can see, I ride very different bikes but these gloves are perfect for each. I honestly cannot see the point in spending any more on gloves, even for light DH because they are amply padded. Granted you might like the security of big heavy mitts, but if Steve Peat (unofficial number 1 downhiller in the world) wears Troy Lee XC gloves, why do you need to have anything heavier? And these gloves arn't heavy.
