$20.00 | | Purchased At: | sun and ski | | Strengths: | cheap, durable, pretty comfy | | Weaknesses: | maybe not as much protection as some people would need | | Bottom Line: | These were everything I needed in a cheap glove, I worE them for almost three years now and I never saw any big holes. The palms held up really well; they look very scuffed and worn, but no major damage
The only thing that finally started to go was the finger tips (and this is after dual use of playing paintball in these gloves) about 2.5 years of use. I just cut the tips off and kept using them until I lost one...sad day indeed
I would definitely recommened for some good cheap gloves | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$23.00 | | Purchased At: | BeyondBikes | | Strengths: | thin
breathable
sticky
protection | | Weaknesses: | thin (durable?)
sized small | | Bike Setup: | SC Heckler | | Bottom Line: | I've only used these a few times, but they fit the bill.
They are lightweight, pretty well ventilated gloves for summer that still offer some protection for the knuckles (ie, more than a full fingered, summer XC glove, but less than a true downhill, full protection glove).
They fit a bit small for the indicated sizing, but about the same as Fox gloves. Also tried some Dakines (truer to size). Not as light and breathable- better for cooler weather. Make sure you try these on before buying.
These things are nice and light for the summer and grip quite well. I can't vouch for their durability after 3 rides, but I think they've modified them due to earlier complaints. If they last a season I'll be happy. Less than a season and I'll come back to lower the overall rating.
I think they're discontinuing this glove, so get 'em while they're cheap.

$25.00 | | Purchased At: | jensonusa | | Strengths: | Lightweight, breathable, very comfortable and I like the fact the palms are not padded. Double finger grippers good also. | | Weaknesses: | None, got 3 years out of them....2500 miles | | Similar Products Used: | Pearl Izumi | | Bike Setup: | Kona King Kikapu all XTR with 317 wheels, Racefae Dues bar and stem, easton post, Fox on both ends. | | Bottom Line: | I just found a dealer in Illinois where I will be ordering his last 2 pair so I can be worry free for a few more years. They are thin and light so I can see how people find them cheap but if you take good care of them buy hand washing and keeping them clean they'll last a long time. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$23.00 | | Purchased At: | Meyer Distributing | | Strengths: | Light Weight
Breathable
Grip well | | Weaknesses: | The Clarino Leather doesnt look like it will last too long. | | Similar Products Used: | None | | Bike Setup: | Jamis XLT 2.0 | | Bottom Line: | I really like these gloves. Theyre thin.I just hope they hold up, longer than I think they will. I may end up sewing a reinforcement patch onto the palm of the glove to give them extra life.
So far they are great.
I would recommend to anyone as of right now.
I gave an overall of 4 because I dont know how long they will last. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$37.00 | | Purchased At: | jensonusa | | Strengths: | nice grip | | Weaknesses: | the grips on the fingers come off on the inside of the palm and the palms are showing significant wear and im hoping they wont tear.
| | Similar Products Used: | regular 661 mountain biking gloves | | Bike Setup: | Marin Nail Trail Duke Race new frame raceface cranks ect | | Bottom Line: | They wear really fast on the under side of the palm other than that they protect u really well. Im still hoping they wont tear they were expensive 37!? Use at your own risk!!! I do alot of agggressive riding and if the company says they are used for Down Hill Freeride and Dirt Jumping youve got to be kiddin!!!!! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$18.00 | | Purchased At: | jensonusa | | Strengths: | I can't think of one... | | Weaknesses: | Made out of paper towels. | | Bottom Line: | Bottom line: Do not buy these. I got them on sale hoping they'd last me until summer. Right out of the box I was worried about their durability and after only 3 rides they're torn on the palm. They're crap. There, now I feel better. Thanks for listening... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | Santiam Bike Store | | Strengths: | Flexible, strong, and grippy | | Weaknesses: | none so far | | Similar Products Used: | none | | Bike Setup: | Custom 03 Norco 4Hun | | Bottom Line: | These gloves are the best i've tried the plastic over the fingers really keeps your fingers protected. On the end of the fingers really grips the brake levers. The glove has klevar reinforcement in the heel of you palm which really soaks up hard hits. Buy this if your into agressive riding and dont like your hands getting beat-up. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
