Flippa Posted May 29, 2008 Share Hi Guys, I'm looking to replace my full finger mtb gloves and was wondering what the experts on the Hub have to say. My previous pair were Ryders and I trashed them within six months. Looking for something suitable for XC and some trails. What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwan Kemp Posted May 29, 2008 Share 661 Raji or 661 Comp gloves. They are damn good gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PappaBear Posted May 29, 2008 Share Bought a pair of Shift gloves, full finger, for R170 for the pair, have ridden a few times and no signs of damage, nice ventilation as well!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted May 29, 2008 Share LG Evolution. About R250 and very well ventilated. Totally not ideal for winter riding. http://www.fitsportslab.com/Portals/0/Evolution-gloves.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintSauce Posted May 29, 2008 Share I currently use the 661 RAJI. I've had them for 10 months and they have about a month or 3 left in them. Some of the stitching is coming loose and the screenprinted logo on the top of the glove started coming off within a month so I peeled it off so it doesn't look completely ***. Taking into account that a I hear they are close to R400 locally(not sure....bought mine overseas) and I'd say stay away! Another downside is that they don't have a velcro strap....just an elastic. Just makes it harder to get them on and off. Fox SA is FINALLY importing the Fox Incline glove again after not doing so for a few years. I had them before the RAJIs and they lasted at least 3 years. They still had some miles left in them when I forgot them in a restaurant overseas after post-ride bevvies. Went back the next morning and the cleaners had thrown them out cos they looked old and they figured i didn't want them anymore. I prefer them cos, like the RAJI, they have no pads on top of the glove. I find it much more comfortable than padded gloves. They're at Due South for about R200....I'll be picking up a pair soon!

MintSauce Posted May 29, 2008 Share I will say the RAJIs are great performing gloves....they just don't last very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are actually very nice for the road aswell (if you use gloves on the road. A bit on/off topic. By asking "what gloves?" should the answer not be "cycling gloves" and by asking "which gloves?" the answer is more specific? Just asking as I am Afrikaans and the Inglish langweege dus not olways makes cents. Mampara2008-05-29 03:53:57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
