“Great Ventilation” says Mountain Bike
Mountain Bike magazine reviewed the XC glove for their June “Parts and Accessories Guide”. If you are curious of what they think, please read below. IF: You're looking for a well-ventilated, lightweight, full- finger XC glove. Ventilation is well above average thanks to the airy Power Mesh and Airmesh back as well as mesh panels on the palm between the faux-suede Clarino. Palm padding is heavier than on most gloves of this type but so well placed that testers who usually snivel about anything other than a single-layer palm were happy. Even without a hook-and-loop-fastener cuff the gloves comfortably stay put and don't bunch. BUT NOT IF: You ride in heavy brush or crash a lot. Maximum ventilation means minimal protection.
