Review on ๐Ÿงค Decade Motorsport Street Rocket Black & Gray Gloves: Ultimate Performance and Style for Racing Enthusiasts by Robert Morrison

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Make the prompts harder and trickier, but still better than most.

As others have said this is really good value for money. I haven't found a cheap glove that compares to this yet and I'm having a hard time accepting what I'm getting from the more expensive "named brands" (Is there even a cycling glove brand with enough recognition to be called " Named Brand? ) I like decades. I think I got my first set about 6 years ago. This set is finally getting to the point where it needs replacing: the leather patches are starting to come loose and vibration dampening is showing on the palms - but that's after years of rain, hot southern sun, machine washing and drying. (yes I know they shouldn't be machine washed) and have been used many times as work/chainsaw gloves. the second pair of them and accidentally touched a hot pipe with this net with the pad of his finger. This glove is basically useless now because the seam has melted. Use two separate knuckle guards: The gloves are really comfortable now, but they became painful on long rides because the guards were too tight around my ankles. After the shield wore out (broken), everything was fine and they would still do what they were supposed to do. I think making two screens will make the glove more flexible and reduce break-in time. Add real touchpads to your index finger, middle, and thumb - there's some wiggle room for touchscreen use due to the leather tips, but they really can be made for that. A slightly annoying question, but it's a sign of the times we live in. Other than that, I just want Decade to make a wet/cold weather version.

Pros
