Bought a set of fox airline and they had a hole in the index finger after one lap on my pit bike track.

Oddly enough Dixxon Flannel Co. makes a really good glove. I've blown thru multiple TLD and MSR impact gloves. The Dixxon gloves have held up for over a year now and seem to still be good, i'm just as surprised as you.

I'm kind of a cheapskate when it comes to gloves. I want them to feel good and last and have decent protection. That said, I'm kind of embarrassed to say but I like these from Harbor freight. Actually, the grey ones are a couple bucks cheaper and allow my hands to flex as well as any motorcycle glove and they seem to hold up just as well. The red ones are a bit too thick for normal riding unless it's colder out.

Ok, now I will patiently await the bashing.

I had a pair of SixSixOne Nasty gloves that were the best I ever had. I have been using TLD GP gloves now and they are OK.

Used TLD gloves for almost 10 years, but got a pair of Leatt 1.5 a while back and they are absolutely amazing.

100% gloves only ever lasted a month or so for me. That's riding once a week and using them on my mountain bike 3 times a week. Novik gloves have lasted a lot longer and are half the price. Really like the Noviks I have.

I know I'm among many other guys in wheelchairs here....riding gloves tend to be either too padded or too thin. The Monster/Pro Circuit gloves I got 6 months ago have been working excellent so far. I put these gloves through the ringer and they've been holding up. Usually gloves I get only last 2 months before tearing to shreds.

Shift black label. Any glove that fits tight and is thin as possible without wearing out too quick.

My favorite gloves based on comfort and feel is the Shift Blue Label gloves. They are awesome. Probably won't last too long but they are really comfortable with great feel.

No bashing here, I bought a pair of these for general work around the house gloves and keep them in my truck as such. I'm an Off Road guy mostly and used them one time in a pinch as I forgot my normal Klim set. I was sold after my 1st 10 minutes riding. Cheap in price, the foam pad on the palm is great for cutting down on vibrations and if they get blown out, which they haven't done yet, they're only like $10. I've had them for at least 2+ years now and still going strong.

People can’t breathe with all that plastic on their gloves.......oh and they can’t breathe with goggles on either 😂

I came across them on sale and grabbed some just because I usually need a new pair much sooner than I anticipate and I've been wearing them for longer than any other pair of gloves I've ever had. I'll pick up some more when I need to and they don't even need to be on sale. I think they're worth it. I have the Factory 2.0 style before they updated it and added the leather tip to the index finger and thumb. The sizing is a little small as they don't really break in and stretch out any. They're good to go right away. So plan on them fitting close to the same when you try them on vs after a few months. The material on the thumb area has made it so I don't need to always run donuts on the grips to avoid blisters. They remind me a lot of the ProGrip gloves I had back in 04. Those were great as well.

Mechanix FastFit are inexpensive and work great for everything from doing the yard to working on bikes and even riding.
