Best pair of gloves I ever bought. I bought them four years
ago and still wear them several times a week. Wash them
after every ride and use the "other" pair for the next ride.

We sell the entire range of them at the LBS I work at. We
brought them in at the request of a good customer. I own one
pair, a two year old set of winter gloves. Mine have been
good, and I don't see them coming back. Some customers have
made repeat purchases of them. I would buy more of them for
personal use.

We also sell Fox, Pearl Izumi, and some oddballs. I'm not
crazy about Fox quality, it seems to vary at times.

I've had a pair of their waterproof gloves for over a year
now, seem pretty good although they're double lined so have
a tendancy to slip about a bit when riding. Keep your hands
amazingly warm and dry though.

Obsessive-compulsive?

Don't know about the gloves, but the title of this post
keeps making me sing that old Ton Loc song Cheeba Cheeba
to myself.

Thanks for the input folks. Looks like they are as good
as they look. I'll be picking up a pair for this
weekend's riding.

Best gloves I've owned EVER were Specialized Body Geometry
And I've destroyed MANY gloves in the quest for the
perfect glove

Late to the table with this, but WTF - I like the fit and
feel of the three pairs I've owned very much. However, they
all very quickly fell apart at the stitching and needed
repair. I gave up on them in the end. HTH.
