Strengths:
Look nice, mine never fell apart (unlike the other reviews!)
Weaknesses:
The velcro catches on the finger material sometimes and pulls it apart abit
Similar Products Used:
Specialized gloves
Bottom Line:
Bough these as abit of a change from Specialized gloves I usually buy, similar price and look nice. Used mine for about a year now and they are just beginning to fall apart abit. But hey, they were cheap and they've taken abit of a hiding over the past year, will probably go back to specialized or similar next time.

Strengths:
Features for the price
Weaknesses:
Sketchy construction, velcro sticks to finger material and pulls it apart.
Similar Products Used:
Fox leather MX gloves
Bottom Line:
Like someone else said, look them over before you buy. So far they have been comfortable and have not destroyed themselves, but the finger material gets stuck on the velcro when puting them on and pulls it apart. Just be careful. Overall not particularly impressed or dissatisfied.

The hook and loop straps immediately came undone. Not much of any padding in the palms.
These gloves may look good right out of the package, but they literally fall apart with some use. Terrible product.

Bottom Line:
When I first got these glove they looked really cool but did fit good. After a while they wore in and started to fit better. They got really dirty quickly. One day I looked down and they had a whole in them and they where less that a month old. I wouldnt suggest these glove to any one unless your on a big budget. Spend $15 and get some gloves that actually work.

They look nice, the top side of the glove is tough

The side you actually use is about as strong as a wet paper towel. Within 1 month these thing started shredding, they are useless. I am very disappointed in 661

Even if the price looks good, don't consider any glove from 661, they are trash.

Very comfortable, great fit, looks nice. Not too hot for full fingered gloves.
Weaknesses:
4 seams started coming apart during my first and only ride with these gloves. Bummer.
Similar Products Used:

Bottom Line:
Give these gloves a serious looking over before buying. Seems like there must be some quality control issues in the factory in China or wherever. Maybe I just got a bad pair. I would have given 5 Chilis had the seams stayed together.
