Like the title says, i am looking to get a new pair of gloves wanted to see what ever one else was wearing. I found some sixsixone gloves i liked. Let me hear your opinions.

everything.
Fantastic contribution.

I'm using some full fingered Trek gloves I bought when nothing else was available. They're okay. My last pair was 661 and I loved those but one got left behind on a ride one day and now there is an empty pit in my soul that is glove shaped.

My next pair will be 661 so I can fill that void.

I've always worn Fox gloves, but I'm not really liking any of their new offerings.

The Sombrio Forensic's look great, but nobody has them in stock.

I just got a pair of Fox gloves with carbon fiber over the last two knuckles for $24 on SierraTrading Post

I like 'em, so far.

Cedrics Gracia's 661 with the carbon fiber knuckle protection. The newer models fit better around the knuckles than the older ones. They saved my hands about a month ago. The impact still left me with an arthritic type of pain around my knuckles. even with the protection. I can't imagine what my hand would feel like if I did not have the protection.

haha okay i'll help now. I had a pair of, i think 661 comps but i lost them at the sea otter a couple of weeks ago. I loved them.

Side note, I really like thin gloves, they don't feel like their in the way. I'd wrather just go through thin gloves alot than have durable gloves that are thick.

I've got some shadow conspiracy gloves at the moment... nothing that fantastic to write praise about, construction isn't the best, but they fit, breathe well, and help with grip, so I can't complain.

Before I've had a lot of older Shift moto gloves, as well as a few fox's, but my fav's were some TLD XC's, like Dan Wask mentioned, but I forgot them on the hood of my car once when I hit the trail head, got back from a loop and they were gone, somebody swiped them! bastids...

I don't buy into the carbon fibre supermotard looking overkill gloves... If I'm going to bash my hand, I'm going to bash my hand, and probably should expect much worse from the crash after clipping something than just a bruised hand! I'll probably jinx myself with that one.

Specialized Fortress. Gnarly protection, have hit many branches. All I hear is a "whack!" and think "That would have stung!"

The Rock Garden Gloves or Cedrics 661 gloves are most likely similar.

I've been using Snap-On mechanics gloves for a couple years now. They're about the same as motocross gloves, but way more durable, about the same cost. I kept getting holes in the fingers of my Fox, or Oneal gloves, after the switch, I get almost a year out of a pair of gloves.

I left my bag of dirty clothes (which had my fox gloves in it) at my friends house. He said he probably threw it away because he thought it was trash..... :mad: :rant:

Dakine gloves look good.

I'd been wearing Fox for years and loving them. I would go through about two pairs a year, due to wear, rips, or my thumbs popping through.
Then when my model wasn't available, I got some Specialized Enduro's. Hands down better fit, feel, and they've lasted all of last season and they're still going strong.
I even wear them on fixie rides around the city. Awesome.

I wear kona cowans with the carbon fiber on the last 2 knucles and I love em!

Another question: How do you wash your gloves that say hand wash only?

I fill my sink with some warm water, put some detergent in and wash them that way. just hang 'em to dry and you're set.

I have the Cowan's too, I like them so far. Before that, I had Dakine's, awesome stuff too. I'm looking at the RockGardn's for my next purchase.
