Received these 2 weeks ago as replacement for my tore up pair of Held's and JUST noticed that the knuckle plastics are different hue! Maybe I'll manage to remember left from right after all! If anyone else owns these, is this normal? Really though, allow me to be the first by saying, nobody cares.

I had the Handroids and loved them!
They wore down just where they should in a crash and the sliders did their jobs.
Those look nice too!

I have those same gloves and they are fantastic. The color on the plastic wouldn't bother me so much. You can always spray bomb em!

I have had multiple pairs of biomechs and they were indeed exceptionally comfortable but it saddens me to say that they were woefully badly built....... I went through 4 pairs in six months ...... First pair the plastic Scaphoid protectors wore through the palm of the glove, second pair put the glove on and the stitching on one of the fingers just came undone and opened up like a banana skin. Third and fourth pairs - same as the first pair....... To be fair to Knox - each time they replaced them without quibble and finally they insisted on me trying a pair of handroids to see if the same happened. Unfortunately before I could really test the handroids to see if they would go the same way as the biomechs I actually tested them for real on the track........ Twice! They held up pretty well but now look decidedly second hand due to the amount of plastic on the glove as it scratches quite badly where as normal glove may not.....

..... In summary - I think they're great gloves and a great idea but as a product they need to either be refined to stop the issues or just built better..... 9/10 for idea 5/10 for execution

I have two pair of gloves now, but I'm thinking about these for the street.

Any opinions?
I bought one of these from him, use it mostly off road and it is damn nice.

Thinking the gloves are probably pretty well made too.
Like my fingers where they are, handy for scratching my balls, picking my nose and such.

I cut the end nearly off one of my fingers a few years ago, and tho I still have it I don't care to go thru anything like that again.
