Review on ๐Ÿ Top-rated 2014 Fox Head Menโ€™s Dirtpaw Race Glove: A Must-Have for Riders by Eric Rose

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good old Dirtpaws. No problem with the size!

UBI graduate 2002, worked as builder/mechanic/store manager in several shops over the years. Quality at a decent price. I had an old pair of mud tines that I used as spares and for wet riding. I was concerned about the quality and fit based on the reviews but was pleasantly surprised. Not sure what others are saying, they run small as I have large hands and am concerned about the fit. My custom XL gloves still fit well so I took the plunge. XL is still XL. I double checked the Fox MTB glove size chart and measured my arm length which turned out to be just over 8-1/8 which is the max length for my glove size (XL). Gloves, like shoes, should be a little tight at first until they break in. There's nothing worse than a baggy, padded glove trying to adjust the brakes through a rock garden. Let's see how the seam holds up when the glove is put on and taken off when wet. I think I will have no complaints. In general, yes there are better gloves out there, but you'll have a hard time finding them for $18. on the index and middle finger comes off on the right glove. There is no noticeable loss of brake pin grip.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No machine
