It just seems that almost all brands I have used in the last 6-8 years have come apart prematurely. I have an average size/shape hand but I do like a glove to fit snug for obvious reasons. All of them come apart where the panels are stitched together way before they show any sign of wear. I don't mind paying top dollar for them if I know they will perform, what's everyone using?

We've a sponsordeal with MXForce. And to be honest they are solid. People didn't trust them because they are 'maid in Thaiwan' but isn't everything in today' age? And they got two types of gloves. Old fashions with pads on the inside and very thin ones like the new modern ones.

I have been using the same Deft Family gloves for 4 years now. I got a few pairs on clearance and rotate them. None has shown any sign of wear except for the silicone logos on the palms falling off.

TLD SE glove.
I used to be a fan of their Air Glove, then tried the SE....with the synthetic palm glove it's the best I've worn in over 25 years of 2-wheeled riding. It's comfy, doesn't bunch up, and lasts a long time.

Used the same pair for two years and they are still in great shape. Almost don't want to buy a new pair, they are broken in perfectly.

Fox Pawtectors. Double Clarino palm. Fit extremely well, exceptional grip feel, and very durable.

Novik and Deft.

Ive had 3 pairs of Fox Airline gloves, the first pair was great, 2nd pair lasted a week, 3rd pair lasted 7 laps. Threads tear at the palm/ thumb joint every time every pair. Fly gloves do the same but last a while longer before letting go, i'll buy Fly without batting an eye when im in a pinch. But for long term, Deft and Noviks for sure

Klim gloves ROCK!

I like either their XC line, or their Mohave line. Very comfortable and last for a long time.

I wear TLD Air when it's hot (including Baja) and SEs when it's cool out.

i wear Klim gloves. not the lightest glove ever but by far hold up the best.

motocross gloves are just heavier than the material they build jerseys out of, kind of a joke when you think about it.

TLD XC gloves are great too. same with the GP glove
