    No problem with mine, not tested the protection but no signs of them falling apart and for me are comfy.

    I love mine. Again no issues, perhaps sit watching tv for a few sessions before riding with them, just to bed them in like, as they are perhaps like most new things, a little stiff? and you can always test the protection if the missus makes a grab for the remote :D

    I would not wear them,

    Mine fell apart after 500 miles or 2 blats out . seeing as the stitching fell apart not a good sign for them in a crash. Got my money back

    after this happened I goggled it and seems I was not the only one, or 20 that also had this issue

    Mine are great. Took a while to get used to the mechanism but once done they are fantastic.

    How come the scaphoid protectors are so scuffed.

    I see that was taken from Pistonheads, pictured after a track day crash at Le Mans hence why the scaphoid plastics are grazed. But other than coming apart they did the job and protected the rider. Many other gloves could suffer in the same way.

    "The big hole between 3rd and little finger appeared before I binned it at Le Mans turn 2 - slow left into the chicane, so really not a major off.




    The holes in the end of the fingers I only noticed after the crash. I think the impact pushed my fingers through the weak seams. Dread to think what could have happened if it had been a faster off.

    The armour did it's job though, protecting my palms and my wrist bones, both of which took direct hits.

    The fit of the gloves is still excellent, shame about the quality of the stitching. Funny thing is, the right hand glove is 100%. It's only the left that's begun to fall apart."

    I have the Biomech. Awesome gloves, must be well over 20k rode in them and no signs of fault.

    Remal- is that not an unfair example you've used mate, especially as they appear to not be your gloves so what's the relevance?

    I like them mate, as said worn for at least 20k and not cleaned once.

    Jimbo's also got them and not managed to wreck them, which in itself is testament as he breaks everything!
