I was in a builders merchants yesterday when i came across some gloves.
They are absolutely spot on.
£10 a pair.
Iv,e worn out a lot of gloves over the years but these are the best iv,e ever bought.They make fox,661 ect seem lame
The ones i got are these.

Protection in all the right places.
Nuckles,finger joints,thumb nuckle and they are so comfortable.
Even the usual teery bit for wiping your face.
Youd swear these are mtb gloves
Think i,ll get some of these for DH.
http://www.goclc.com/ProductDetail.aspx?sku=175
But looking at there range they look superb.
I can,t emphasize just how good these are.
These look rather good as well.

those second ones quite clearly say
hence unsuitable for DHDemolition XC™
wonders if "Demolition XC™" sits above or below "aggressive xc" and "AM"
Hahaha....nice one
But there is one called thunder xc.
I think that sits there.

I had some "scary fast rocket power" gloves once
waaaay above mere demolition and yet shit, all at once
They're not Troy Lee XC. Therefore - FAIL.
Cpt flash is correct...I have now owned EVERY colour (though my new pink one are proper loud).
Troy lee xc ...Iv,e had those as well.
They knock them into a cocked hat quality wise i,m afraid CF....
HERETIC!!! buuuuuurn him (bit curious though,but I get Troy Lees for £15 😀 ).

Shocking Gloves
two in the pink one in the stink derek?
Bloody hell. These are great. I need these.
Rob, what merchants were you in?
THey do look good, anyone found a uk stockist online?
Must be a stockist online. Will def get a pair or 2 for 10 quid each
I have a pair of the pro framer gloves for work, just hitting close to a year old and they are falling to bits. but i consider that bloody good since they were £10 with a beanie hat too...
Hard wearing and good fit i have used them everyday of the week for building work.
No not online.
If you look at stockists on there site i think there all in the US.
codybrennan where abouts are you.
Tony i got the hat with mine as well.
Can i bribe you all now as to where to get them.hehehehe
spill the beans man, they look great. which builders merchants?
ntb...look above
I need some new gloves. How thick are the palms on these? I don't like really thick palms, tbh prefer the feel of gloveless but don't like cut up hands if I fall off.
Not too thick tom...they really are the bizz
if only I lived in North Wales.......actually, scrub that comment.
Are you going to buy a job lot and sell them off on here. 1 pr XL of an XC type in a not too garish colour if so.
They do look good!
theotherjonv.
Not just north wales bud.
There all over the northwest.
Nice one, always handy* to find new gloves as MTB gloves are silly expensive.
*do you like what I did there, handy, mwhahahahah 😈

we need long term test reports on these.
the armoured ones look utterly shit! far too much palm padding to be any good for control and WTF do you want armoured knuckles for (especially riding DH)? the only time I ever damage my knuckles is the odd cut scratch from cutting into tight corners with overgrown holly, thorn bushes when riding XC and I don't even wear gloves. (DH tracks don't have holly/thorns etc and you NEVER land on your knuckles if you bail/crash).
GW- I broke 3 knuckles 2 fingers and plenty of bones in my hand in a stupid OTB crash, I always use knuckle protector gloves.

Very practical gloves Mr Anus, i can recommend them. 😉
and you think a wee bit of padding on your gloves will prevent this? how?scruff - MemberGW- I broke 3 knuckles 2 fingers and plenty of bones in my hand in a stupid OTB crash, I always use knuckle protector gloves.
It really hurts if I knock my hand now on trees / wotnot. I'd wear a medeivel gaultlet if I could.
On a slight tanget..
Have a 'look' at the recent safety glasses, you'll be surprised at how cool they are and, for £7 - £9 a pair they're spot-on for winter mud fests.
good shout, love tubs - a selection of not bad looking bolles here for not much cash:

When i was in Les Arcs a few years ago, one of the guides highly recommended some gloves like those. Said the extra padding worked a treat on the all day judder of riding out there.
shame you cant order any of them near london, im looking for some new gloves and so far the best i have seen are these

If only I'd have known before I went, my hands got shot to pieces, though my chunky Oury grips were mostly to blame.
I've got one of these places just down the road from work, might go take a look.
WHISN
If you go and they're any good, I'd be more than happy to take a punt and pick up postage costs..... not too garish / XL
If anyone is thinking of getting in a job lot I'll have a pair if thunder xc and a pair of handyman both medium please. £25 delivered??
Had a quick blast round my local trail today and can now say that the handyman is just superb.
Don,t think i,ll be buying fancy branded gloves ever again.
You really are paying for the name.
Made up i found these. 😀

Rob what's the sizing like?
I can confirm that these are quite good. They sell them in Home Depot (like B&Q) over here in Canada, I've had a pair for a year or so. Seem much more durable than most of the bike gloves that last about 5 minutes. There isn't much padding on the palm, and mine have some stitching across the heel of the hand that rubs a bit riding on the hoods of my commuter bike, but is ok on the mountain bike.
look good!
i have used these and while they seem fit for purpose at first, they seemed quite warm and sweaty.
plus the finger ends were thick, which i felt reduced feel for me.
good value though and i can see why that is important!
Was just in the Huws Gray in Heswall and very nearly bought a pair they've got the black full finger with a beanie hat for £12 or same but with open ended thumb and forefinger for £11. Both seemed really good, quite wide and fingers aren't too long which suits me but my fox's are pretty new so would have got shouted at by swimbo.
Good spot!
hmm. there's one of those Huws Gray places not far from here. Will have to investigate.
Nice one the Huws Gray in Heswall is only 2 miles from me.
I am quite hard on gloves so the overpriced MTB ones really annoy me when they start to fall apart after a dozen rides (Mace being the worst so far)

not so sure about this ripped my giro dj's on the third ride and first crash, soggy newspaper would be better
Look good to me, might give a pair a try, came off the commuter on ice last winter and tore the palm out of my old gloves.
Gw - do you read your own posts? I,ve seen several threads now where you basically come across as pretty rude. Just an observation, might want to think about how you come across to others
Do you read yours? I've only really noticed the one but found it a little dull and whiney, just an observation, might want to think about how you come across to others 😛
DT78, its not just me then regarding the attitude of GW?
Just goes to show how ridiculously overpriced the MTB specific gloves are. eg. [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=73283 ]POC! [/url]
s'funny I was just reading this thinking what a tool GW comew across as. Seriously, having a go at people about their racist beliefs/bad attitude or whatever is fair enough but lambasting someone about their knuckle protection 😕
Yea shame there is,nt a mute or block function on the site really. Then Gw could block me for being whinny and dull, and I could block him for being a bit of a tool...
Some forums let you hide low rated comments. Quite like that idea.
There is one available - if you're running Chrome.DT78 - Member

I reckon GW is just davidtaylforth on a bad day - i.e. one when he's not funny.
While we're on the subject of stuff you can find in a builders merchant.
I find [url= http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediawebserver?mwsId=66666UuZjcFSLXTtNXMVoXTEEV76EbHSHVs6EVs6E666666-- ]3M Virtua safety glasses[/url] ideal for eye wear, they do clear [url= http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediawebserver?mwsId=66666UuZjcFSLXTtNXMVoXT2EV76EbHSHVs6EVs6E666666-- ]and blue mirror tinted[/url].
The only cheap glasses I've ever found that are fairly scratch resistant and I'm not pushing up my nose all the time, and have great side visibility and actually look OK!
Bedmaker - Where did I lambaste anyone?
if Scruff (or anyone else) chooses to wear gloves with knuckle protection it's entirely his choice to make but the fact remains knuckle protection won't actually stop you breaking knuckles/fingers and is awkward and restrictive to ride in.
to any of you I may have upset. - If my brutal honesty regarding the complete shite you've typed about subjects/products you have little to no experience of is really too much for you to cope with then by all means block/ignore my posts but surely it would be far better for all of us if you just stopped spouting pish in the first place? 8)
It has definitely been noted on more than one occasion that GW is the [i]ultimate[/i] keyboard warrior and probably drinks pish for breakfast just to keep him so surly and sour... 😐
😆

£5.99 TK Maxx -Got two pairs 😆 Better than any MTB glove I have tried.
johnjohn.
The sizing seems to be the same as most mtb gloves iv,e had.
I,m a size large in most and bought a size large in these.
Like it nick1962.
Is this becoming a better than MTB glove thread. 😀
wife is getting me these on monday from work http://www.toolbank.com/p/KUNL123L
I have been using leather 'sort of' with a soft furry lining for winter riding for years. Really warm without being sweaty and thin enough on the palm to be grippy. About £11 a pair. I appreciate that previously I was an embarrassment to ride with but now it seems that I was just an early adopter.
Ooooo.lovely cozy ones bellys. 🙂
+1 for GW coming across as a tool.
No doubt lovely in real life. That or he must be rock ard!
Well done to the OP. What a great find... May get some of the glasses mentioned too! My gloves are on order, so thanks again!!!
MTB gloves are silly expensive, best alternative I've found so far are Socal MX gloves at £6 on eBay but these do look even better.
I've tried 661 - crap
Giro - not good enough for the £
Fox - ahahahhaah
I am happy now though! 😀
