Hello, been looking at these for a while for my 400.

Does anybody have experience with these? Just general good and bad points.

How do they stand up to use?

Just interested before I part with 30 quid, which is quite steep for what they seem to be.

Thanks for the help.

Work well if you're having trouble bracing your self under heavy braking while hanging off.

Apparently they can be a bit abrasive when used with Jeans or other non-bike clothes and that seems about right. Never used mine without leathers.

They won't ever come unstuck by themselves, and they work brilliantly (they've taken the load off my wrists under braking and given me full control with my knees) but they've worn a big hole in the left inside knee of my leathers.
