Fox Racing Defend Pro Fire

good when new, but worn out very quickly
For the price of 40 euros, I think you should expect them to be sturdier. Have had them for 3 months now (about 1100 km used). After 2 weeks, a thread already came loose from the seam which is now rather dangling loose, as the glove will probably get even more broken when you take them off. In addition, the rubber 'grip' dots on the palm side are completely worn off. If I did a lot of technical trail riding I could still understand this, but I just commute to and from work on straight roads. Functionally, they work fine; I cycled with them every day through the winter, and had absolutely no cold hands. They're not too warm either. Such a shame, then, that they wear out so quickly.
Pros & Cons

Solid winter gloves
Very nice set of winter gloves, keep your hands warm without getting sweaty. The long cuff at the wrist ensures a good seal. To use the fingertips to operate a touchscreen, however, you have to perform tricks, which is not really optimal. So far, I have only moderate success with that.
