I have been super impressed with these. Got them from bike addict. For the amount of riding I do I am satisfied. 

+1 For these. Got mine on special at cyclelab, and they've been holding up well. Really grippy and pretty comfy, even with the little to no padding. 

Keep in mind that the between-finger bits have a lot of airflow. Great for summer riding, but don't expect them to keep you warm in winter.

My first pair of Fox Ranger gloves have been through hell, and have faded and are now pink not red, but still solid as a rock. Second pair had a seam tear in 6 months.

I’ve had a couple of pairs of Leatt and they haven’t done well at all. Had lot of da kind which used to be good but quality has slipped as well. The o wa that have really stood up have been giro’s and one industry. I never really thought of giro gloves for Mtb but dang they are good. Not the coolest in high summer but then I’m not either.

I ride with Fox MX gloves. Im on my second pair in 2 years only because the old pair had a pong to them that I couldn't get rid of. At least that was until I discovered anti bacterial washing fluid.

They last and are robust for protection against scraping and falls. I have no issue to use the glove to wipe sweat from my brow either. Being MX gloves they are not as flimsy as MTB gloves, yet I still have good feel and connection with the bar grips during a ride, particularly when riding rough trails.

Was having a look at the ciovita ones when i went to go get my ‘cycling flanel’ from them the other day. They look nice. i don't really like my rangers and prefer to ride without gloves at this stage. My fox ones have admittedly taken a fall or two but have started fraying on the seams around shifting finger…which is annoying. Also, they dont work on touch screens, at least the ones I have, major drawback imo. taking a glove off to check or answer a phone is annoying. The ciovita ones are noted to work with devices.

Anything without a velcro strap. They wear out so quickly with dust etc on rides. 

I prefer POC and ION. Leatt is good but the cut can be weird on some styles. 

I used Fox a lot in the past and love the brand but the velcro is an issue. 

Specialized make great gloves but pricey.

Ended up getting Titan Racing Clutch gloves, mainly because I really wanted to go and ride and this was the only option available immediately. One ride in, pretty impressed for R350. Great fit with no uncomfortable seams and I like the placement and feel of the padding. Time will tell.
