Gloves

[Mtdgt]

Anyone found a good glove manufacturer that works well for tree riding? Something that protects knuckles, fingers, is snug fitting and waterproof?

I found that the gloves made for extreme power walking work the best and buy the ones that are gore-tex! Just my opinion tho

Motorfist has padding on all the knuckles of their gloves, I like the Valkyrie but the wot are pretty great too depends on personal preference

On warm-ish days I like mechanics-style gloves cause they grip. My gold-day gloves are HJC and while they are warm they don't grip for crap.

Thor mx work great for trees.

motorfist valkery's work great. Kevlar re enforced knuckls and waterproof. they are also thin but still warm so you get good throttle and brake feel from them.

I've had almost every glove known to man, and my go to ones are the Fly Switch SNX. Problem is, Fly discontinued them. If you can find a pair anywhere, snag them up.

FLY makes a new cold weather glove like a dirt bike glove they work awesome found mine at cycle works south

I have MF valkyries and WOT's happy with them both but I think my next pair I will try true north adventure gear. Been hearing a lot of good about them and priced well.

Thanks for the info I found the 2012 Arctiva to be excellent, they have lasted three seasons and have over 150 rides on them. Still in decent shape but no longer waterproof. The new Arctiva are not made of the same material and don't have the same knuckle protection. Ill keep looking

I know the fly glove you are thinking of.. I had them in the store, made of Neoprene. They're comfy too for sure!
I usually wear Wots for farting around playing, they aren't bulky and restrictive. I wear the Valkyries when it's super cold, or on the way back. . I'm super stoked to try Motorfist's new Rekon Glove.. Looks all terminator like and such.... super warm glove it looks like!

Checked their web ordered the Storm x2 the seem to have a good write up we'll see. Thanks

Picked up a pair of HMK "Union" gloves to wear when it's a little warmer out. Fit good, need a little breaking in and I hope they provide good grip and dexterity. Will report back after this weekend.

I have the FXR Torque. Comes with a liner type second pair of gloves, but I haven't used the liner yet. The palm is basically just leather with the back being insulated, love them so far.

Im in the market for 2 maybe 3 pair of gloves and would like to hear some more feed back on what everyone thinks works.

For me I've had bad luck with my last 2 pair, Klim Togwotee $120 the palm is not sewn to the liner causing poor grip , Klim Summit $160 the liner
pulls out every time I remove them with damp hands.

I liked my Klim gloves but they cracked. Sent them in for warranty and got a new pair they were only two seasons old

 

[Joholio]

KLIM Powerxross all day, wet or dry. Big CKX mitts for the trail home.

 

[Slamnek]

I've been using klim fusion for the last 2 seasons and once they were broke in they are awesome. They have two layers one for warmth then you put your hand underneath for grip. They are awesome in cold weather and not too bad when it's -5 to 0.

I said above I like the motorfist Valkyries and I do but I can't seem to get more than half a season out of a pair. Mine are trashed.
