Gloves? 1 Year, 7 Months ago Karma: 11  
Well, i have seem to misplaced my Fox glove
And im looking for new ones...(the Fox's where past their time anyway).

Im looking at the Fox unabombers (or whatever they are called), the Kona "Cowan" edition, or Sombrio gloves...

Price is not really a concern, but i will probably be spending 30.00 to 50.00.

Rob, i know the Cowan's are nice

Any suggestions are good, comfortable, reletively strong gloves.

I know, im just saying those will probably be the ones i get...because when i had the unabombers, they were awesome. Knowing Fox though, they are more expensive than the Kona's at pretty much the same quality.

Stopped by Northern Cycle today and picked up a pair of Fox Unabomber's, the new ones.

They have made some good adjustments to them from last year to this year, including;

-More comfortable padding on the carbon knuckles so you don't even feel them
-Carbon patches on the pinky and other finger (cant remember the name of that little bastard).
-Leather on the two right fingers

They are sweet.

You bought them in AJAX !! :­b­link­­: . Damn that means that they are either stolen or where made in the ­base­ment 5 minutes before you bought them ! . (This in no way a shot at Northern Cycle, but rather a joke about how ghetto Ajax is just to let others know.) .

I like the gloves I have now, Specialized Team XC gloves. They fit very tightly to my hands and have special padding on one part by the wrist too. But for street, I'd rather ride without gloves. It makes it feel more "real" and I have better grip that way too.
