Hey guys, recently I bought some new "Enduro" gloves as my old gloves were getting a bit tatty, with it getting colder I thought I would get the 100% "Brisker" gloves. When they arrived I was quite disappointed as they were super thin. They were very warm though... On my first outing I failed a hill climb as i lost momentum near the top (I was not even moving when I lost it) and I put my hand down and tore up the top of my thumb, the glove just tore like paper, I might as well have not had any on...

Anyway sorry for the wall of text, I just want to put people off these shit gloves that are clearly not safe for enduro, and if someone could recommend me some good gloves that have armour or are nice and thick on top of the thumb that would be great!
Anyone tried the Oxford RP-4 Short, Dainese MIG C2 or the Revit Cayenne Pros?
UPDATE: Ok after what was far to many hours on my laptop staring at pictures of gloves I have now bought the "Troy Lee Apex Sport Gloves" from Dirtbikebitz for £60 this review finalized it for me! Ill review them after I have had them a few weeks |

Those first gloves are ace! Shame they look so shit though... Those Aplines look good too man, I have had these Apex Sports for a couple weeks now and they really are ACE! They inspire confidence, you look at something a bit hairy and know if if you fail you arnt going to shred your hands up like I have so many times with other gloves. In fact I have come off a couple of times pretty hard doing silly stuff and it didn't even do any damage to my hands |
