Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:

Purchased At:

Strengths:
Comfortable, breathe well and are protective, good place to rub nose, thick palm protection. I personally havn't had any problems with the stitching even after probably 100+ hours of riding.
Weaknesses:
One of the 8 plastic finger protectors fell off because they are glued on. The mesh on top of my fingers is starting to wear down.
Similar Products Used:
Some fox full finger gloves, and some full finger novara gloves
Bike Setup:
transition gran mal with travis 200mm single crown, swinger 4 way,
Bottom Line:
Pretty dang good and very comfortable, but not super durable. If 661 made the gloves a little tougher and improved the stitiching just a little they'd get 5's all around. Maybe next year...

Strengths:
Comfort and protective layers at the right areas. Breathes very well.
Weaknesses:
ridden 3 times on park smooth tracks. 6-7km each time. Synthetic leather between thumb and forefinger started splitting. There's a hole on the thumb side and that's not stiching. Extensive wear and tear after only 3 hrs use.

Bottom Line:
Great design. Paddings and protection at the right places but quality is poor for the price paid. What's the point of a great product that starts to fail after 3hrs use? Would have given 5 stars if it didn't tear. My grips are lizard skin grips and not rocks. I don't ride hard - just leisurely. The left glove is showing wear and tear around the thumb and forefinger. One other thing: for sports gear, washing tags in the gloves are annoying on the skin.
