Strengths:
Thin so you can still feel what your fingers are doing. For the price they are good for recreational riding. Serious riders should look for something tougher.
Weaknesses:
Sizing is off and durability is questionable. I ordered the large because that's the size the chart recomended for my hand width, but I really need an X-large. Had some trouble reaching the shift trigger because the palm was too tight. Also, I found 2 holes in the finger seams when I put them on for my first ride. Can't return them now because they've been used, but they weren't expensive so I'll tough it out for now. Not very warm though.
Similar Products Used:
Only fingerless weightlifting gloves, which are durable and more affordable than most bike gloves I've seen.
Bike Setup:
Trek 3700 Factory setup
Bottom Line:
If you can get them on sale for a good price, and do not ride in really cold weather they might be ok. Be sure to get a size larger than the chart recommends. I may try to do some tailoring on mine to make them fit better.

Strengths:
Great style, function of the 2002 model year glove.
Weaknesses:
The fit of these size 10/L gloves feels a little looser then the size 10/L 2002 Fox Sidewinder gloves I use.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
I ordered these gloves online at the same time I ordered a pair of 2002 Fox Sidewinder gloves on sale in Nov. 2003 after a crash on a night ride on Oct.15,03. My pair are grey in colour as the black colour in size 10/L were sold out. I've only used these a few times when I go out on day & night rides and the gloves from the day ride are still quite damp. Bottom Line: These gloves fit a little looser then my Sidewinders and when it comes to controlling your bike... fit means everything.

Well, even though these gloves are well ventilated, they are still hot if I'm riding out in the open. I should have bought the gray ones instead but overall, I'm really pleased with these gloves and compared to my lightweight LGs, with no rubber on the fingers, the Statics ventilate just as well.
Next time around though, I'll be sure to pick up a lighter color. They're great in the winter, too. I've ridden in temps down to 5 deg. and have been comfortable with them (after I get warmed up :) )

Strengths:
The pic above is outdated. -the new glove like mine in red looks awesome and kind of matches the 'McLaren' colour scheme of my bike and some gear. -good balance between flexibility and durablity and padding -small rubber 'grippers' on index and middle fingers for braking -tough-built but cool enough for an aussie summer
Weaknesses:
-the rubber 'grippers' mention above are starting to bubble abit on my right glove, probably due to the combination of summer heat, heavy use on a slippery-as-hell gravel trail course and grippy Michelin handgrips. but that does not ruin using this wonderful glove.
Similar Products Used:
-Answer -first glove when I was twelve, fibre grip area, STUPID!, outworn both my gloves and my brother's rarely used pair in 3/4 of a year
-AXO - used my rarely used glove with leather grip area, thin-ass material lasted longer but not by much.
-O'Neal -bought to replace the AXOs but lost one glove on trip to Rottnest, area btweenthe index finger and thumb star to wear through on the right side, because I use grip-shifters.
Bike Setup:
Avanti Ventura FX with Rock Shox Judy XC Air
Bottom Line:
-Heaps better than all my other gloves combined, only sign of wear is with the finger rubber grippers, but very little. No sign of wear or fatigue on any other part of the glove no matter how many times I have crash on them. -Built tough but not hot and stuffy to use during summer. -Priced higher than my other gloves but well worth the extra cash for this wicked glove.
RESPECT to all the 12 hour riders esp. solo riders in the upcoming 2004 12hr Ward Cycles race.

Looks great and feels even better. There is padding on both sides for protection and plenty of grip to hold on to your handle bars and pull your brakes. I've found the grips on your first to fingers a nice touch, whether it makes a huge difference is a matter of opinion.
Weaknesses:
There isn't a whole lot of padding on the underside where you grip the handlebars, so you may feel it if you're braking a fall, but it does add it flexibility.

Weaknesses:
Well the biggest weakness for me was that they didn't come with the terry cloth on the thumb to wipe away sweat. That is such a cool, but more importantly useful feature. As other reviewers have pointed out, the glove could def use a little bit more padding in the palm area. It'z fine the way it is now, but a little more padding would be much better! And Fox, please do something about the fingers on your gloves. The fingers are like the first things to go. Mine are holding up very well, but this has been a problem for me with previous pairs of Fox gloves.

These gloves are very padded and comfortable. Have a ton of protection and last forever.
Weaknesses:
Before you buy these, know that the the little rubber strips on the gloves do peel off but they had no real use in the first place. Second- If you own these gloves and have had them for a while and have gotten them so dirty and smelly to the point where your thinking about buying new ones, handwash them. My red ones had gone from bright to dark red and the palms had turned dark and hard. Then I handwashed them. The first four times the water turnded dark black. When I finished they were in perfect condition! Bright red and the soles were light gray and soft. These gloves rule.
