Those absolutely were mechanix, bought at home depot. As I said in another post, pic is from 10 yrs ago so I'm sure design probably changed since then.Quote:

Also, unless it's cold out I only wear gloves descending for crash protection. They last longer the less you wear them, obviously. Your hands can dump heat more effectively than any other part of your body so you want to avoid covering them up when it's hot.
think of all the money you would save if you just quit wearing them ?
X3 or whatever on leatt's being good for thin palms. I have had the palms rip, although on the whole I wouldn't call them less durable than any other option. They're a bit spendy though.
Also x3 or whatever on just chuck them in the washing machine from time to time.
Think of all the money you'd save if you just coated your knees, hands, and elbows in aquaseal. Your wiener too if you're the kind of guy that wears condoms.Quote:

This was one of several of these
I guess my point was more that if it's hot out, I'm gonna ride trails that don't necessitate pads. Dial the ride back a bit.Quote:
