Pros: Good fit with great padding

Cons: Not armored on the nuckles, seems like it would tear easily on tree branches, etc.

Recommendation: A great XC glove for the money

Pros: Sleek look, padding is adequate and the Body Geometry pad seems to reduce numbness as advertised.

Cons: Padding bunches up at the top of my palms. The first two days of riding with these gave me BAD blisters.

Recommendation: I chose the extra large size because even the larges didn't seem to cover down to my wrist but these gloves bunch up on sweaty rides. If you have long skinny digits like me these may not be the best sized gloves.
