Cheap ones nothing higher than $ 20.00. I usually buy new ones every couple of races anyway.Most of the time its Fox.No glove seems to hold up that well to XC racing and repeated washes.

Crazy,we got a race tommorrow at Box Hollow in Waverly TN.For more info check MSWS.ORG.This is the premier XC winter series in the southeast with races from Ill. to Miss.Its not as big as the GNCC series but just as proffesional with the same quality of riders and rules.

I'm very happy with the Shift glove I have. Not sure what model they are though, got them on close out. Recently bought some MSR on closeout as well but they don't fit quite as well with my long fingers.

Same here. They seem to hold up better than a riding glove and I get to write them off at the end of the year with the rest of my tools:D

IMHO the fox gloves are piece of s**t. I've had mine for a couple of weeks and maybe 4 rides at the most. I think they're called dirtpaws. The stitching is coming apart and ripping. It's not like a stick caught it and ripped it the actual stitching from the factory is coming undone.

I bought a pair of USED oneil element gloves online, and they have been through more than my fox's and they still look better. I get blisters no matter which one's I wear.

I think I'm going to try the mechanix gloves. How much are they and wear can i get them?

I tried Fly Gloves last time, they were pretty good but the straps were on the top of your wrist- kinda goofy and they come unstrapped every once in a while.
I'm going back to thor next time.

I have the impact 2s as well, I like them alot, I put a lil rip on the side of one of the fingers, but there still good. I'll probably get another pair of them soon.
