from Central Valley, California, United States of AmericaDate Reviewed: June 6, 2010
Strengths: Comfortable, grip-tastic, full finger, vetilationWeaknesses: stain easily, palm feels funny for a few rides after you get it wetBottom Line: I bought the gloves because they were white and they looked cool. I primarily used TLD products in my BMX racing endeavours, so I was familiar with their outstanding cost to appearance to quality ratio. They are not the cheapest, best looking or longest lasting products on the market, but they certainly strike a nice balance of the three.
After I got the chance to use these gloves for a while I fell in love. I am not a fan of fingerless gloves, and too few companies make a light weight full finger glove. In my hot locale, it is nice to have something that breaths, and these gloves certainly do breath. The palm grips like no other (in a good way) and is comfortable while wrapped around the bars.
Buy them if: you want a breathable, full finger glove for trail and XC race use and live in a warm and dry area
Avoid them if: you ride in cold weather, rainy weather or are interested in setting new land speed records on your bicycle
Favorite Trail: Anything that flows and climbs, and climbs and climbs some more
Duration Product Used: More than 3 years
Price Paid:
$25.00

from Logan, UtDate Reviewed: July 25, 2007
Strengths: Light, breathable, no velcroWeaknesses: The silicon on the palm began wearing off after one ride. The gloves still work good, but look crappy. I emailed TLD and they claim it is not a manufacture's defect, so they must design their stuff to fall apart. Buy something elseBottom Line: If you don't care what your equipment looks like after one ride then they might be worthwile, especcially if you could get them around half off, otherwise get Fox's mountain bike gloves, something with a nice terry wipe cloth on it would be much nicer.
Favorite Trail: Goos
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$24.00
Purchased At: motorcycle shop
