$15.00 | | Purchased At: | Local MX shop | | Strengths: | Cheap. These gloves are your typical MX style gloves. Lightly padded clarino palms, full coverage vinyl covered foam on the back of the hand for 'roost' protection on an MX track, but for us MTB'ers it comes in handy when getting whacked by thorn bushes and branches. Mesh back, with spandex around the fingers. | | Weaknesses: | No terrycloth section to wipe sweat, a little hot for summer riding. Limited selection of color choices. | | Similar Products Used: | O'Neal Element gloves. | | Bike Setup: | Santa Cruz Bullit with Fox front and rear, all LX components, Race Face cranks, Sun Rims.............typical Trail/Freeride setup. | | Bottom Line: | I use these for the ski area rides, and when the weather gets cooler. They're great for that! I wouldn't recommend them for anything else, though. They're too hot for summer rides. I'd give 'em "5 Flamin' Chilis" for an overall rating if they had a terrycloth piece somewhere...........anywhere.......... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
