Their grip is excellent and they're real breathable. They were well worth it. If you got $50.00 and need a pair of gloves these are it. They do get a little hot but that's what you have to expect from motocross gloves. The Red & Yellow gloves are awsome but I got the red and grey becuase it goes with my bike. The palm protrection is excellent it's this real tough leather and grips very well to my handlebars. I recommend these gloves to all the bikers out who go real hard-core and really love the sport. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
