What's good about them? Would you recomend these gloves over others which you have tried in the past? How much were they? Where did you get them from? Thats it for now, simple enough i think.

nb88 Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I don't wear gloves anymore but i used to use Qranc gloves which were pretty ace. Got them at a very good price of £10 from Broadribbs (Bicester/leamington) and theyre nice and comfortable, and still light for summer riding. I've had 3 pairs, each lasting around 2-3 months. I've not tried out too many gloves but they are the best ive used. Noz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I swear by my Hebo Trial Team gloves. They kick ass. Really, properly nice gloves. Seem to be really, really well made, ultra comfortable, nice and thin so you get a good feel from them, and look OK-ish too. £21 from www.bvm-moto.co.uk + = Seamless palms and fingers, lycra-ish spandex stuff between bottom of glove and top (to stop tearing the seams which are usually there), thin, durable - = possibly looks?

Da Make Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 (edited) What gloves do you wear? Sinisalo MECs What's good about them? I like that they are very simple and guite durable too. I have reinforced fingertips with superglue just in case. Would you recomend these gloves over others which you have tried in the past? I have had in past other Sinisalos, but these are the best so far. These feel lot more sophisticated than typical MX style gloves. How much were they? They were in bargain, about £10. Where did you get them from? I got these from FCF (Foxcomp finland) Edited January 24, 2005 by Da Make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendee Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I have to agree with onzaboymark the hebos are simply the bets trials gloves out there very nice to wear last ages aslong as you dont fall off to harsh they will last ages. I disagree with what yoiu said about the looks i think they are pretty sexy looking, a proper trials look. ive allways found with wearing gloves like the foxs with the padding you dont get much feeling of the bars witch i think you need, as the hebos are so skinny on the palm and fingers you get all the feeling youll ever need.

matthewholdsworth Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 ive got some very worn fox statics, best gloves ive had, theyve lasted a year and look awesome, (red and white colour) definitely replacing them with some more fox goves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_gavo Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I really like my kona gloves I got from work (halfords) im not sure what ones they are (blue and grey ones) :"> theyre mega comfy whist been thin so you can still feel the bar (Y) only downside is that the sizes come up really small as i take XL in them when my last pair were meds the 661 gloves look nice too as ive tried on some of theses at work but they r too expensive for my liking but i may have to splash out in the future as they are well nice (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairy elephants Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Wow, these responces are all great, but i was kinda hoping that you would all recomend 1 pair of gloves, like people do with tyres (N) Ahwell, keep them comming, maybe a winner will emerge :huh: Cheers, alex.

Ali C Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I use 661 rajis They are REALLY light REALLY thin and in summer REALLY cool, BUT they dont last me very long, I go through about 4 in a year. They cost about £20ish. The feel they give is amazing! they are just like an extra layer of skin rather than a glove, soooooo comfy. They only downer is that they dont last long, but then again, all the gloves I have used in the past have lasted about the same length of time. I would like to try the Hebo gloves next if they are as good as mr Mark says. Actually, I wouldnt mind trying some gloves with a carbon nuckle, I am alway gouging my flesh when riding natual, it might come in useful if some punk trys to knick my bike too (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Found the pics I made a year ago of my gloves (bearing in mind the gloves in the pics are well over a year old now, and look exactly the same - been through 3 comps, several roadtrips, several harsh falls, etc.): Sorry for shit, non-sensical stuff in there - it illustrates the points I was making earlier though. They're awesome gloves (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This obviously takes time, just accept that it will hurt now but look forward to better less painful hands. Anyway, back onto the subject... I have been using 661 Raji's, I got them ages ago to replace a knackered pair of Troy Lee's and am very happy with them. I have a second set for when these are totally knackered but I would think this first pair are close, if not over a year old! But then again I have never really knackered gloves as quickly as other people seem to. As Ali has already said they are very airy, the padding on the palm is nice and thin with extra padding where needed and the mesh on the back is just what is needed in the summer (Although it does tear easily). There is Terry Towling snot rag on the thumb/forefinger which is great for both winter rides with a runny nose and summer rides when you are sweating like a bitch. The gloves are also slip on (So no more dogey velcro straps) and dont sit very high up on your arm (So less tan line in the summer). Recently I have started riding gloveless, but I usually have a pair of gloves in my back pockets or in the trusty riding bag for when I feel the gloves are needed.
