    Been offered a pair of handroids with kangaroo skin in black/white, what are they worth and how good are they. I know they're £160 new.
    They are in very good nick and hardly used?

    got caught up in the hype and bought a pair, they're allright, plenty of protection, but prefer my Astars gp pro's if I'm honest

    Yes, really good gloves but i've read that they were a few issues with the protection on the top coming off in a fall. Minor...but

    Look to complex to me plus someone I know crashed in a pair (racing) and they fell to bits I have got Dainese metal pro and have hit the Tarmac twice and still going after 5 years although expensive at 290., but can get old colours for 180.

    I've had a pair for about four years now, best gloves I've ever had. Slid down the road in em couple of years ago and the scaffoid protection really works.

    That's just some plastic trim, not the protection, they have changed the design on the newer models

    I have both Dainese and Alpinestars (£100 plus) both are excellent.

    Got mine when they first came out and yes the plastic trim can pop out one side on occasion,but this has been addressed on the latest model. Great gloves,comfy for hours on end and protection wise about as good as it gets:)

    Great Glove!

    Stepped off in mine last year at over 100mph and they were hardly marked and did their job well.
    Still using them now.

    I use them, think they are great but a little on the steep side!

    After having a set when they came out I would not touch them with a barge pole. Mine fell apart in front of me after just a few hundred miles. yes they may have got better but I will not be buying another set. I'll stick with my Full Metal gloves that don't fall apart

    Tried mine the other day for about 50 miles , could hardly get them off. I forgot to pull up instead I was pushing down ! Good but will take a bit of getting used to. My other gloves are astars gp plus.
