My favorite mtb gloves are...

I just bought a pair of men's Slice PI gloves and they stink. It's like they have TOO MUCH padding, and my hands are aching. And they were more pricey than the other ones I usually get. I guess it's kind of like the padded short thing. More padding does not mean more comfort! I am actually thinking of switching to the fox ones but I like fingerless ones. Ah well winter is coming soon enough...

That's really good to know. The guy pal that's a great rider was looking for gloves too and loves PI. He said he wasn't going to pay the $ for those gloves even though as much as he loves PI. Now, I can tell him that maybe they weren't all they were cracked up to be. I don't know what he wears right now. Good insight.

I just got some Fox Incline gloves and I really like the switch from the road gloves. I got these because I had a gift card to the LBS and it was these or Specialized. The Specialized felt like they were made for road pressure points and I didn't like it. These have no padding but were only $10 after using the $10 gift card and fit better so I figured it wouldn't be a big loss if I hated them. My PI's had been giving me a slight rub on the base of the thumb every ride but the Fox were fine. I rode yesterday (16 miles) and today (5.5 miles) with no issues. Plus they match my mountain bike perfectly.
