I personally use Novik, been with them for a few years now. Never had any problems with their customer service and Bryan always seems to answer any question right away. They give back to their community and MX in general. Just check out www.teamboom.com as an example. The gloves fit really well and are made very durable. Never used Deft so I can't comment on them. I know Brett Cue, BQ365? on this forum, is very involved with them also.

I've used both, I would say pretty equal in regards to fit and comfort while riding.

Novik
-Offers protection to top of hand and fingers on the SV2 and Signal models
-I've had several stiches blow out on a few pairs I've had.
-Fit and comfort were excellent.

Deft
-Only had one pair (Catalyst), but construction was spot on. The construction lasted really well, and fit and comfort were superb.
-No protection to top of hand/fingers

My glove of choice is the SV2. While they could stand to be a little more durable, Novik was cool about sending me another pair when the first pair I had blew stitches at the wrist after one ride. I think I'm now on my 4th pair, including the first ones that didn't last two rides and they are my favorite gloves. Fit is excellent, and you can get them for 15-20 bucks on sale pretty much all the time. I also like having that little bit of protection on my hands and Novik does it without sacrificing dexterity.

Novik all the way for me. As stated above, great glove and the guys at Novik couldn't be any better to work with! I have big hands (3xl in other gloves) and the Novik 2xl TEC's fit me awesome. The company support of Team Boom and Tripp Hallstead shows that good people are behind all that sick style! Go with the NG.

Been wearing the NOVIK glove know for over 3 years because of the comfort and the way they hold up. All the other brands I have worn in the past would wear out in the palm after a while. Novik all the way!!

The Novik gloves are definitely top of the line! Those guys have been behind me before any of the videos from this past year. I also have a signature glove coming out very very soon called the "Do Work" glove! Head over to www.novikgloves.com to pick up a set of the gloves and some Ride365 clothing!

I couldn't pass up the chance to pump up the best gloves made!

I've never used the Deft stuff, but I can tell you when I got my first set of Novik's I thought it was just a fad because the gloves looked cool. What surprised me was, I don't ride much anymore (kids, job, etc.), and I've lost most the calises on my hands. I expected a ton of blisters. Amazingly, not a single one, the fit was amazing, and I have owned two sets and neither have been worn out still. Nothing but quality from Novik.

Since, I've gotten to know the crew over there, and nothing but pure passion for moto and good times as well. I can tell you it's a company to support because they have a great product and are great guys investing into the sport.

I stock Novik in my parts department at our dealership. Every person I've sold them to has loved them. They are priced very well also.

Novik is where its at. Would not go any other way . Its pretty cool to work with a company and ride for them and build such a good friendship. All the people at Novik have that. The style and comfort just don't get any better.

What is sizing like? For instance, if I wear large in other gloves what would I get in Novik's?

If you wear a large in other gloves go a size smaller in the TEC gloves as the run a size big. Ive been wearing Noviks since they first came out and am still impressed with them. Erik and everyone at Novik are great guys!
