> 3 dayGloves look sweet and everything I used them for riding my motorcycle for a few months and they started fraying but Oakley wouldnt replace them unless I sent the pair in first which would leave me with no gloves.

> 3 dayVery nice quality gloves. I use them mostly for moutian biking and dirt biking. The shell is very strong and flexible. Comfortable and keeps my hands warm. Cant use your phone with them on. If they intended these to be able to work with a touch screen they failed. I ripped off the tag and created a small hole doing so. Disappointed in that though no other complaints.

> 3 dayThe perfect gloves, has impact protection which makes it ideal for heavy duty work. But they also have a tight fit which makes them perfect for biking, motorcycle riding or anything else that requires dexterity. Love the gloves.

Greater than one weekGloves arrived on time, brand new. They were easy to break in, and the grip texture on the underside is very useful. Go one size up from what you normally wear.

20-11-2024Id give it 5 stars but one of my straps wasnt sown all the way secure on the glove. Which is a manufacturer defect Im sure. The company was quick with shipping and brand new gloves so I appreciate it!

> 3 dayEverything about these gloves seemed good and dandy, upon first receiving them I did an initial quality check; yep everything seems legit, no sloppy seams, real carbon fiber and serialized, quality looking stuff. Only gripe was, the thumbs were a bit long even my larger hands, and the crotch between my thumb and forefinger was a bit snug. Despite for most everything seeming to be on the up-and-up, not into 24 hours of owning them and nothing more than some test fittings I noticed a seam popped near the wrist, likely sent from the factory like this. Fine, every massed-produced item will have its lemons, so I exchanged them for a second pair. The second pair arrived shortly and already they seemed better than the previous pair, no pre-popped seams and the thumbs fit a lot better, I assume the second pair was a later model, that had received some revisions. Great, I like these gloves, Im glad this pair is of a bit sharpened quality. So not but a day or so after owning these I decide to take them out on a field trial; -Used them for some gun-time, dexterity is great, manipulations were easy, no problem here -Shot my recurve bow, though tactile, leathers still thick enough to make bow draw a breeze -Chopped invasive shrubs with a machete, provided superb backhand protection from thorny bits, gripped very well, though palm developed a minor hotspot, the trade-off for a more tactile leather, I suppose -Off-trail running/clambering, again protected from thorns, grip held fast, though dirt and debris made it into the cinched cuff a couple times rather easily Note- knuckles can make pocket extractions somewhat difficult I returned home satisfied, the gloves had held up well and made some of my typical outdoor activities that much less painful and smooth moving, despite some minor grips of dyed black palms and a teeny tiny blister the gloves had proved an admirable addition to my gear box. So imagine my reignited displeasure when I took the gloves down from the drying rack and noticed that the thumb/forefinger crotch had popped at the seam and the leather already ripping down the palm a short bit. Super duper. Now I am somewhat adept at using a needle and thread, but I believe Oakley made it pretty clear, these are not even worth fixing. Although these gloves have been engineered for the battlefield I wouldnt even feel comfortable recommending them for anything more than the Sunday driver, but then theres better gloves for that. Excellent ideas here, but the execution is just so disappointing, save your money. **Now let me be clear I did not buy these from this seller on Amazon, I got them from a top-rated seller/business on eBay. Now, unless that Florida outdoors company is being had by a fake Oakley rep then I dont believe the gloves to be fakes.
