What are ya'll guys using for riding gloves :?:  I have been using Fox Dirt Paws but I am looking for a glove with more padding or is there a glove with gel in the palm area :?:

I tried out the Fox Pawtector gloves recently, was very pleased. Had been using el cheapo gloves, whatever I could find for $20 or less, for the last 10 years, and constantly had to do preventative band-aid jobs on my thumbs and use Palm Savers (same company that makes the neoprene Seal Savers). Last Sunday I forgot to put on band-aids or Palm Savers at the start of the national enduro in Missouri, didn't even think about it until just before the halfway point when I felt a little bit of a blister coming on. The other gloves I'd been using would have made me blister up much more quickly. Threw on my usual set of band-aids and Palm Savers for the second half of the race and had no problems whatsoever - about 5.5 hours on the bike. That's pretty much convinced me that you get what you pay for in gloves - the Pawtector's are $10-12 more than the Dirt Paws, but I think it's worth it.

Hughes,
  I like big beefy riding gloves with lots of protection and most of the recent gloves at my local dealers look more like golf gloves.  I am using the "Mechanix" M-Pact II glove.  Been very happy so far. Got many years out of my last pair and just got some new ones.  Also its a good idea to always have 2 pairs so you can put on a dry set of gloves anytime during a ride or long race. Cam.

I normally use the higher priced Shift or Fox gloves,if you are having problems with your palms you may want to check out differnt grips.

NastyNick:
I have been wearing Thor Core gloves.  I bought them a size small and let them form to my hands wheile they break in.  Excellent feel to them.  I always hated my Fox gloves (and the rest of their gear) so I am convert to all things Thor.  Love the fit, feel and finish of Thor.  Now I just need to get rid of my Forma Pro's and get some Sidi or Alpinestars.
