Picked up a few pair from a store in Australia and found the quality to be not as good. These were a great fitting, comfortable glove that stood up to a great deal of abuse. As with a pair of Large Hardwear Max Lite shorts, these things are great when they first come out but after some degree of success, they cheapen these up and the quality goes down. What a shame as a lot of crap that's out there now fits like crap, looks like crap and wear quickly and all for large dollar. I regularly search eBay for some of these items as i'm tired of shelling out big bugs for stuff that just fills up the drawers or ends up on eBay. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

On the first ride I was thinking they were far and away the best gloves I'd tried: they were light, cool, fit my hands perfectly, and gave me great control on the grips and shifters. After the second ride, I noticed that two different seams - one on each glove - had blown apart. Nice quality. I went to the mfr web site. They don't have a phone number (always a bad sign). I emailed them but no response. Never again. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

They seemed to fit a little loose, but once I grip the handle bars they seem to take form. The lettering and little rocket were dingy looking and still are. After riding in them I have to say I don't have any complaints. They keep my hands cool and they do a good job wiping the sweat from my brow. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

My previous gloves from other brands tended to die after a year/year and a half.
Aside from their durability, they git really well, have all the features needed (snot wipe, effective closure flap, pull-on-tab). They're cool in the summer and warm enough for autumn riding or even warmer winter days. They look good too IMO. What more can you ask for?

I really wanted to like my Rocket Power Charger gloves. The truth is that they're nothing special and over priced. The fit is a bit tight, they look cool, that's it. The seam on mine split along the tip of the thumb after less than 200 miles of trails riding, about six weeks after I got them (no crashes!).

Tried the GTO model. Used these on my daily commute to and from work. The ride is only about 5 mile one way, but wearing these and a pair of polypro lines made my hands ache. Seems to be a lot of padding on the outside of the palm area, other than that, there's not diddly for padding. Since more than just the extreme outside of my palm is on the handle bars, these are doing the trick for me.

I got a pair each of the GTO's and the Ramblers. Both are awesome. I also ride dirt bikes, so I've seen great gloves (like Sinisalos) before, but the Rocket Parts gloves have both a build quality and an attention to detail that I have yet to see in another glove. Stuff like 2mm neoprene knuckle pads, terry cloth sweat wipes on the back of the thumb, and the Clarino synthetic leather extension by the wrist bone, all speak volumes about the thought and care that went into these gloves. The GTO's rock for winter, and after seeing the Ramblers, you'll wonder what you were thinking when you bought half-finger gloves for off-road. 5 peps each! | | Overall Rating: |

My first day out with these gloves, I took the hardest crash in recent memory. I walked away with cuts, scrapes, and bruises on 15 different places of my body. However, my Super B gloves, which hit the ground first and helped guide me through a 10 yard slide with a couple stylish barrel rolls, were unharmed. I was amazed! I thought for sure that my brand new gloves would be ruined on this, their first time in the dirt. Since then, I've had a couple more chances to test their durability, and they haven't let me down yet. I love the way they look and the fit is almost perfect. They do bunch up a bit right at the base of my fingers if I'm not careful to make sure they're pulled tight on my hands. They could have a little more curve built into them with less material in the palm. Still a great glove! | | Overall Rating: |

They beat anything I've used in the past and I've used many brands. What I really like about them is the wide temperature range they are comfortable in. I've used them when it's been 100° and when it's been 30° and they have been comfortable at both extremes. My girlfriend also has a pair and likes them way better than any other gloves she's had.
