Date Reviewed: March 2, 2004

Strengths:    Protects hands from pavement, comfortable, stylish, and the price was okay.

Weaknesses:    wears kind of quickly, ventilation not the best.

Bottom Line:   
Aaaaaahhhhh... the satisfaction that im not going to burn the top 10 layers of skin off of my hands when i crash. these gloves are really comfortable and do everything advertised to. price is less than most. one thing i noticed was the clarino leather palms are kind of getting thin after 8 months of use... but the fact that i crash a lot couldnt help. Not as good as the more expensive Pearl Izumi Pittards leather gloves (wouldnt crash in those much though).

Date Reviewed: July 5, 2003

Strengths:    Definitely Comfortable!

Weaknesses:    May be wearing a little quick, but who can tell after only 3 months? I do think the price is high for this glove (just as every other glove out there.)

Bottom Line:   
I generally like this glove. Some gel gloves have too much padding and others not enough. This glove seemed to have the right amount and in the right places. I do wish that the terry cloth area (sweat wiper) was a little bigger, but really that's not that big a deal.

Of the 4 different glove styles that I've owned, I'd put these as either first or second. (The scorpions being the other pair that I really liked).

Submitted by Kris Allain a Weekend Warrior from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA

Date Reviewed: June 13, 2003

Strengths:    Pretty good padding, large terry cloth thumb, look cool

Weaknesses:    Just a little too big for my hand, but the size below it was an extra $9

Bottom Line:   
I actually have the '01 model but they are the same dag-gum thing. I couldn't beat the deal anywhere else. I really wanted the Fox Mojave gloves in yellow but I can't see myself paying that much for them. They are just gloves for crying out loud!
