Gloves are tricky, you really need to try them on before you buy...kinda' like a helmet! Price does not always dictate durability either. For what it's worth, I like my Fox Inclines. They are breathable and light, and aren't bunchy...fit like a glove(ha,ha)! If you have a local LBS, go in and try on every pair of glove they have, until you find something you like! Knockle protection is great, if you run into $iht alot, but the palm is what you have to be conscious of... But I suck, so WTF do I know?
