Fox Racing Dirtpaw Gloves

Growing up on a moto, the dirtpaws were always my go to glove as they were comfortable, provided good knuckle protection and they held up great. When I got into MTBs these were the obvious choice and I knew they would not let me down. I prefer a tight fitting glove that does not bunch up alot, and so I went a size down from my normal glove size and they fit perfect. gloves are comfortable on the bike, but thin enough that you can grab stuff out of your pack, work on your bike, etc. without too much issue. In terms of durability, I have gone through a few pairs of the gloves, but that is after over a year of hard use per pair. One pair had a few fingers blow out, and the other pair’s velcro stopped working after a while which got annoying. In terms of looks, I feel like they still look like they did ten years ago (which can be a good thing or a bad thing) and in my opinion the vintage moto styling is ok, but not my favorite. I appreciate the rubber pieces on the knuckles and across the top of my hand, a few of them have come off, but overall they have held up and given me a bit of extra protection. I have grown to like a bit thinner of a glove that breathes well across the top like the handup gloves or 100%, but this is still one of my favorite gloves and I still have a pair I use from time to time. Price is on par with other offerings and with their longevity I think they are a solid buy.
