Anyone else use these gloves? I finally bought a pair and they are like heaven. Best gloves hand down, I find no problems yet (if your a person who likes thin gloves like me)

I wear them. Great stuff.

I've had the same pair for 2 full seasons with very minimal wear. No holes or tears. I love them.

Going to be ordering a couple sets of these. I like the looks of them and I dig the no strap thing too. I hadn't ever heard of them until now........but I'm a picky bitch when it comes to gloves.

Check the different styles, some have straps and some don't.
The ones I have don't.

when is someone going to come out with a preformed glove that is already arched like how you will grip the handlebar?

i run some troy lee gloves simply because they are the thinnest i could find. they are actually really good but have a tiny bit of excess material. they dont bunch, but i still want something tighter. i always end up buying gloves that are smaller than ideal simply because i want them to have zero bunching.

how are these gloves with bunching?

troy lee "air" gloves that i run, very thin, minimal bunching, but im always looking for better

From what I see from the Defty website , you can pretty much only order the gloves. Was hoping maybe a local Portland OR bike shop might carry them so I could try a pair on to see if the sizes are correct. How can we find out ( if any?) who actually sells them? I see no vendor list on the site.

They are the best I've ever used. I tried them last year and promptly bought 3 more pairs. The Catalyst model has velcro straps, I actually like them the best.

The gloves are fairly inexpensive, you could almost order a pair to try out and save the gas money driving around trying to find a pair to try on..haha

And the sizes run true, I wear a large size glove and the large Deft glove fit me perfect.

I am pretty sure Pro Caliber and Motosport carry them.
Quick phone call will solve the mystery too!

I have that exact same glove in black/red/white and yes they are hands down the BEST glove I have ever worn....simply amazing fit feel and function. I kept hearing about them through some mutual friends of the owners and I thought "how good could this mx glove be?" .......My buddy is rider support and kicked me a set a while back and I was blown away at how good they are......might want to wear handguards for rocks though but its worth it for that feel. Deft gloves are the only glove I can wear now.....Im Spoiled


AND NO I dont work nor do I have any affiliation with Deft....its a good glove.

I have 2 pair. One pair I have was from the first production run they did, both pair of gloves I have are still mint! Very well made, and worth every penny! I'll get another pair this year too!

Where are they made? I know a bunch of gloves from different brands come from the exact same factory in China... I guess they use a different one.

Cool to read all the positive reviews of these Deft Family gloves. I've always wondered about their business model and going after the glove market just never made much sense to me but hats off to Nate and his crew for putting out what appears to be the best glove made!! I'll have to try.

Im with you on the bunching.

I have an old set of MSR gloves, maybe four or five years old that are all formed nicely to my hands that I just dont want to part with. They dont bunch and feel super good.

But I tried the Defts on, and man they feel good. I like thin gloves as well and the TLDs would be a close second on my list.

I love minimal gloves, and those look good. Too bad they don't have 3xl's for my freakishly long hands.

The Alias gloves are also very thin and have that "minimal" feel. Remember the Tomac tree incident at Southwick last year? I scored his gloves and i was surprised how thin they were. Might want to check and see if they make 3X?

I just checked, only 2X

No bunching at all, nice and tight in a comfortable way
