Fox Ranger Gloves - Black

While they were easy enough to get on (fit was fine), I find it an ongoing challenge to get the velcro closure fastened. The patch is so small and tricky to stretch it to where I can fasten it. In a moderate amount of use there are holes forming in the end of the forefinger and thumb so that I will soon need to replace them. They are not lasting nearly as long as previous gloves I have had, and the premature wear is disappointing. The comfort when wearing them and riding with them is fine.I wear gloves to keep my hands from getting scraped up when I fall; the material on these gloves is pretty thin and it doesn't seem it would provide much protection. Not sure if the gel pads are meant to provide palm protection in a fall, or provide padding against the handlebars ... MoreWhile they were easy enough to get on (fit was fine), I find it an ongoing challenge to get the velcro closure fastened.

Not sure if the gel pads are meant to provide palm protection in a fall, or provide padding against the handlebars while riding (it doesn't seem to have much benefit while riding, as IMO good handlebar grips take care of any necessary padding, but if I fell on my palms they might provide benefit).While the gloves have worked fine for me, I don't expect to purchase them again.

My kid needed a new pair of gloves so we hoped on jensonusa.com and he picked these out. My cousin recently purchased a pair for himself and they started to tear on the 3rd ride so I was a little hesitant about buying these but I figured I’d give them a shot. I’m happy to say that we’ve had no issues with these and the quality seems to be durable. I usually prefer a thicker glove myself but I’m considering picking up a pair of these for the summer. Would recommend,

The glove itself a decent item, however I was looking for a "gel glove" with more, well you know, GEL. Especially at the price point. The gel appears to be at best 1/8" thick (if that), and the design team apparently didn't think that placing gel at the base of your thumb was important. The gel is placed "up to" the base of the thumb and needs to be about 1/2" wider to be functional. I could almost understand if this was a $20.00 glove by some off-brand from a third-world country. But FOX??? C'mon you guys...I know you can do better.
