Strengths:
Good grip, look pretty cool, comfortable, they have that nice gel pad on it so you dont get numb hands. Ive had them for a year, and crashed with them on pavement, dirt, gravel, you name it, and they are only a little worn down.
Weaknesses:
the thumb is a bit too long in comparison to the other fingers-the fingers fit me great, but the thumb part does not

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
These are great gloves, but you may want to get some full fingered if you are doing some long, tough bike rides-On my bike, my finger tips slide around on the grips after awhile

Strengths:
Very comfortable, the gel inserts help for a more comfortable ride. Good warranty when they rip.
Weaknesses:
They rip and a lack of a velcro strap to tighten.
Bike Setup:
2004 Hardrock Pro
Bottom Line:
Very comfortable glove, however after about 300 - 350 miles of use they tend to rip in the palm area. This has happened to everyone that I have rode with who owned them. Good thing the LBS guarantees the 1 year warranty and gives us brand new gloves as replacements. Also the bottoms of the glove tends to get stretched out, so a velcro strap would have been nice.

Cheap, no name brand gloves from sporting goods stores.
Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
These gloves are the best accessory I have purchased for myself. They are light and breathable. I also like that they slip on and off, no velcro straps like other gloves I have had. They have just enough padding to take the edge of off long trail rides. Superficially they look good too!
I originally bought gloves to keep my sweaty hands from slipping when riding trails. No matter what glove you buy they will all take care of that problem. The only diiference I have experienced with gloves is that some are heavy, uncomfortable and don't breath very well (cheap sporting goods store gloves) and others are light, comfortable and highly breathable (Specialized BG Pro Gloves).
