Strengths: Nice fit when tried on in the shop. Very lightweight, and the materials used are very soft and comfortable.Weaknesses: The leather palm completely disintegrated after about 15 hours of Cross Country use. There is a massive hole at the palm beneath my thumb. Another hole is forming across the palm and I can no longer use these gloves.Bottom Line: Possibly the worst glove I have ever used. At R400(South African Rand) it was the most expensive glove in the store, but the performance is poor. After about a month I started using my Fox gloves again and I forgot about the Specialized. Three months after purchase and I can no longer use these gloves anymore. Poor quality from what I believed to be a great company.

Strengths: keeps cool, Sweat wipe, and gel helpedWeaknesses: For 30 bucks(50 cad), i would expect more Duribility, Within the first 2 days i found a hole at the Seam at wrist, after returning them for a new pair, the same thing happened again!Bottom Line: If you be really nice to them, they are a great glove, but if you accually need them to last more then a weekend, then go for something more durable. (Fox's have been great for me)

Strengths: The mesh top is nice. The minimalistic padding is good, also the clarino palmWeaknesses: Don't like the full thumb, or the gel padBottom Line: When I was looking for new glove I was looking for something with just a leather palm,or as little gel as possible. I went from store to store looking for something. But these were the closest things I could find.
I am very happy with these, despite the things I have said above. The glove is solid, I can't tell I am wearing it on the ride. It doesn't distract me at all.
Bottom Line: Great glove.

Strengths: Well built, great padding, maintains great grip on the bar on those hot summer daysWeaknesses: Big, ugly rubber Specialized logo on the backBottom Line: I really like these golves. They provide great grip no matter what. Also provides some protection when you fall :-) These things would get 5 flames if it wasn't for the stupid rubber logo on the back :-)
