Me rida my bicycle Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 I bought a pair of Fox mx gloves from Yamaha used them on the bike but they are so cumfy I have been using them on the bicycle as well. Nice about them rubber grip patches at brake fingers that really helps in wet conditions. After almost a year they are still perfect.
slickjay007 Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 I've been using Fox Dirt Paws for almost 2 years now and no wear at all. I got them Full Throttle who i must say have a huge range with competitive pricing.

And then only on the back side of the glove, not palm side. So those will be my go to from now on.
popcorn_skollie Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 If the stitching has come loose just take 'em to a taylor. If you're lucky you could probably get away with 50 bux and a 5 minute wait.I've had tidy tux assist me with all sorts of odd requests.
SwissVan Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Actually the problem could be in the long fingers Bicycle gloves were never meant to be long fingered
Christofison Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 You must be doing something wrong for 2 different pairs of gloves to fall apart after 24 hrs of riding I suggest a bike set up by a professional...... Grip tape on the shifters and brake levers
Grebel Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 I've used a pair of Fox, Thor MX, Giro and Fly gloves all with no issues. Tore my Fox and Thor on a few offs but had them stitched. All except for the Giros were bought from Full Throttle Clearance's bargain bin for not more that R100 when ever I was up that way. I have a pair of Mechanix Gloves at home that I use in the garage for TIG welding. They might work on a MTB...
CdT85 Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 anyone used mechanix gloves? I had a pair, one tumble, tore them to pieces. Rode with a set of alpinestar mx gloves for 4 years, replaced them with the mentioned mechanix, replaced the mechanix with first ascent gloves. still to see how long they last.
s14phoenix Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Just saying... incase you are wearing them out from the inside... otherwise Fox Dirtpaw is cool. Not sure how they last but mine is still 100%
Donovan Le Cok Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 anyone used mechanix gloves? Yes, I use them in winter, they are great to cycle with.
