comfortable, nice grip, the fluffy stuff on the back easily soaks any kind of body-fluid you confront it with | | Weaknesses: | hard to find a weakness, when you´re using a product for over four years and still haven´t bought a new pair | | Similar Products Used: | sometimes on colder days -> specialized bg something | | Bike Setup: | trek 6700disc: in germany it comes with XT-rear derailleur, deore cranks and bb, sh-pd520 | | Bottom Line: | words are failing me - encouraged by my big brother to use these gloves i can´t imagine going without them
saved my hands a couple of times - are extremely durable - definitely earned it´s keeps (price was about 60deutsch mark ~ 30€ nowadays)

They still have all the stitches just a couple little tears.I have some lightweight Fox moto gloves and they didn't hold up as well as these.I got Sidewinders last year,they offer alot more protection for our technical rides,but they're a bit hotter.We'll see how they fare over time.I cut off all the 'protective plastic bumpers'on on the backs of all my gloves.They're alot cooler that way.I won't buy anything but Fox gloves anymore.Every time I try something different because they're on sale I'm really dissapointed. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: May 12, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Strengths: | Extremely comfortable and durable. | | Weaknesses: | My L.B.S. charged too much, considering what I see you can get them on the Internet for now....but how do you size a glove over the Internet? | | Bottom Line: | These things have good stitching, good padding and good placement of seams. I have another pair or winter gloves that are warm but the seam is in a bad place and when you brake for some duration it is uncomfortable. No such problem with this glove and of course it helps to take some vibration off from the bar. I have had more than a few spills with these and they have held up fine (just a couple of very small holes on the outside of each pinky finger). I would gladly buy these again. Oh, my velcro tabs are fine. These things fit so fine that I often don't even bother to do up the velcro...they don't come out of place on my hands. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Excellent fit, good shock absorption, terry-cloth covered index finger | | Weaknesses: |
A bit warm for summer, expensive | | Similar Products Used: |
GT GTX full-finger, Trek Criterium | | Bottom Line: | I bought these after losing one of my GT gloves (or so I thought), and I like them a lot. Well-fitting gloves are hard to find, but these were spot on. I've tried them out on some really rough rides, and they stand up very well, eliminating any trail buzz. I particularily like the terry-cloth covered index finger, it allows me to wipe away sweat underneath the edge of my helmet BEFORE it reaches my eyes. They're fairly warm, however, and might be more suited for spring/autumn than summer. One thing, though: Why are so many gloves light-coloured on the inside of the palms and fingers? (Mine were a light grey). If you have to fix a flat, or lift a chain back onto your chainrings, or any of a thousand mechanical adjustments cyclists have to make all the time, you have to choose between getting your hands dirty or ruining your gloves. If the palms and fingers were black, everything would be a lot easier. | | Overall Rating: |

Only problem is that the stiching on the velcro tab is comming undone and these gloves are brand new, less then 1 month old with no crashes. I'll just reinforce the stiching, no real biggy now. But if I were to do over I would look at the other brands. | | Overall Rating: |

I had the gloves a week, they feel great. First crash revealed the weakness. No protection on the thumb knukle closest to hand. Terry cloth tore open and knuckle lost lots of skin.

These gloves are very nice...I have small hands for a tall dude, and I must say that I love the way these things fit so far in cross country duty.

These are okay full-fingered gloves. They look pretty cool, but aren't as warm as I thought they would be.
Also, they don't fit well, but maybe that's because I have small hands. The fingers fit well, but the glove
bunches up and rubs against the handlebar. It would have been an acceptable glove if it didn't cost $36. Oh
well. | | Overall Rating: |
