I've had these for a good 4 years, loved wearing them while driving. The cf knuckles are great, but the one dib I have with them is that the palms have no grip. I have a new pair with the leather palms, but I keep these around just in case I want to do some dirty work and lighter fabric is called for.
Color: Red - Silver - Black
Sweet gloves. These provided awesome hand protection, obviously more so on the knuckles. I'm on my third pair, the next gen black/black, and despite the slight modifications with the leather palm and unobtainium finger pads, these still kick butt. I find my older pairs very useful for utility work in the garage or around the house. The knuckle protection is very handy while reaching into tight places. On top of all the usefulness they look straight up dangerous (in a good way). I also used them snowboarding as a light pipe glove replacement and other than getting them wet they held up well to the elements.
I stumbled on these at the local Vault a couple of weeks ago. I was planning on buying a pair of gloves from Revit at the motorcycle shop I work for. These fit well. I have a small hand (finger wise), but large palms. IT's a struggle getting into them, and I have to pull an OJ to get them on. But, once in, the snug fit allows for excellent tactile feedback. The knuckle protection was something I was looking for (hance the Revitt glove). I wear these to keep the wind off my hands. Thanksgiving night/Black Friday morning, I spent 12 hours outside in 30 degree weather and these held up well. The vents on the back of the fingers provided an unintended purpose. I was able to blow hot air into them to warm up my fingers every once in a while. The Unob "dots" on the finger tips make them great for doing work with them on. I know gloves as pieces of protective gear, having crashed in many pairs of gloves, some at speeds over 120mph. In looking at these, I am sure they would hold up to a crash that that speed. The stitching is excellent and it has a good amount of abrasion resistant material used in its construction. You can snag these on ebay every once in a while, but small sizes are nearly impossible to find. Didn't rate it a 5 becuase the fingers were still a bit too long. More of a typical Medium size finger on a small glove.
Nice tight fight and aggressive looking. Was looking for the SI version but these would do just fine for airsoft - carbon fiber coating saves the knuckles, whilst the fingers just have enough padding to stop hits from incapacitating it. Good ventilation ports really do make a difference. The only snag is that the grip on the finger tips are slowly but surely wearing off!
Oakley's testament to it's solid support for MTB. Just as they provide protection for the eyes, Oakley protects the weekend warrior's hands from career-shattering hand injury with a glove that's constructed with a plethora of exotic materials including carbon fiber and kevlar. Just wearing them gives you peace of mind and allows you to enjoy the trails more. And it's well ventillated for added comfort. Oakley also offer these gloves to the military which just shows how good they are. The advanced design and meticulous details are just something you would expect from the the Mad Science labs.
