Review: 661 Raji gloves

Recommended Posts

I'm on my third pair of Raji's.

I'm finicky with gloves, but I Love the Raji's . Love the mesh back and no padding, I hate velcro closures, so these fit the bill. They just don't last long. The palms eventually get holes in them. That being said, I will probably spoil myself with another pair of Raji's in summer.

What I find with MTB gloves is that the index and thumb tips begin to wear out with all the braking and gear chaining. Have you had any issues like this?? I have resorted to using leather Hirzl gloves to prevent this, but the stitching keeps coming out.

I bought a pair of Rajis at the Clarens MTB expo in 2003. I still use them for hot rides.

 

They must have been (hand) washed 3 Million times and although obviously not in the first flush of youth, they have out lasted 5 pairs of the Hirzl ones.

 

I will buy some more.

Looks radical and must be comfortable. i should try them out someday. how is the fit on these, anyone?

in terms of size, I mean.

Err, I have big hands. And the XL fits great. Like most other XL gloves.

So I will say the fit is in line with Fly and Thor gloves (my other gloves. )
