Purchased At:

Strengths:
Good breathable glove. Maintains great contact with handlebars. Fits like a dream and real comfortable. Palms seem strong and the seams are well stitched
Weaknesses:
I really like these but the quality is just off in some spots. After about 2 months of riding and 1 big crash (though it was on concrete) both the thumbs and the left pinkie tore open. The odd part is none of the rips were on seams or places that contact anything during riding or falling.

Bottom Line:
Good glove, wish they held together better in some key places

Strengths:
Very durable, have survived a few crashses. Breath well, and molded knuckle guards protect the hand without getting in the way.
Weaknesses:
One of the grippers on the finger has began to peel off, but that's not a big deal, I can superglue it back on later.

Bike Setup:
07 Iron Horse Warrior, stock with new WTB Pure V Team saddle, Crank Brothers 5050xx pedals, fox float r rear shock, lizard skins peaty lock on grips.
Bottom Line:
These gloves are very good, and I would strongly reccomend them to anyone who isn't too picky about minor details such as loose threads hanging off at first (easily fixed) and grippers that peel a little (easily fixed as well). The Sixsixone Descend gloves an all around great product-that's the bottom line.

Purchased At:

Strengths:
Comfortable, breathe well and are protective, good place to rub nose, thick palm protection. I personally havn't had any problems with the stitching even after probably 100+ hours of riding.
Weaknesses:
One of the 8 plastic finger protectors fell off because they are glued on. The mesh on top of my fingers is starting to wear down.
Similar Products Used:
Some fox full finger gloves, and some full finger novara gloves
Bike Setup:
transition gran mal with travis 200mm single crown, swinger 4 way,
Bottom Line:
Pretty dang good and very comfortable, but not super durable. If 661 made the gloves a little tougher and improved the stitiching just a little they'd get 5's all around. Maybe next year...

Price Paid:

Purchased At:
SHM Bikes
Strengths:
Comfort and protective layers at the right areas. Breathes very well.
Weaknesses:
ridden 3 times on park smooth tracks. 6-7km each time. Synthetic leather between thumb and forefinger started splitting. There's a hole on the thumb side and that's not stiching. Extensive wear and tear after only 3 hrs use.

Bottom Line:
Great design. Paddings and protection at the right places but quality is poor for the price paid. What's the point of a great product that starts to fail after 3hrs use? Would have given 5 stars if it didn't tear. My grips are lizard skin grips and not rocks. I don't ride hard - just leisurely. The left glove is showing wear and tear around the thumb and forefinger. One other thing: for sports gear, washing tags in the gloves are annoying on the skin.
