I looked and I bought them 11/11/15. 4 Seasons. The last few years I have been 40 days per year plus or minus 5 and wear gloves most days except extreme cold and we do have a kids rope tow on a mini park that I ride with my girl sometimes. So a good lifetime.
I'd rather have the double leather on all the fingers and give up a miniscule amount of dexterity. These gloves are about being warm. On 40 degree days I don't wear them anyway. One of the thumbs where you can't see it in the picture has the outside layer worn through but still completely functional.
Not here to rip into FTPG. Probably going to order another set. Just giving my two cents as a customer who isn't into being a cheerleader unless i am really stoked on shit...like ON3P Billy Goats...I still don't understand why everybody doesn't love them. Shrug.

I have both the OG gloves like yours and the newer SX. Don't have them "in hand" right now to compare, but I recall the SX leather being more robust, thicker, etc. I could really tell when rubbing in the Nikwax waterproofing cream, the OG gloves just felt thinner and got saturated with the Nikwax faster.
So based on that if correct, you may get more longevity out of the newer models. I get out about the same amount of days as you and my SXs look nowhere close to yours in terms of wear after 3 seasons now.

Just got my BC glove. I can't speak to the Spring glove, but the fit is the same as my SX glove from 3 years ago (the one with no removable liner).
Very nice!

Looking to replace my OG short cuff FTP. I'll likely pick up the BC, but was wondering if folks have opinions on the SX vs Freeride or Race.
I've got a decade old pair of Hestra Morrisons that I love, that look quite like the Race (although my Hestras have a zip cuff that I love). I do like the all leather gloves in general, but looking for some first hand comparisons, or revirew if any one has them.
For what it is worth, the OG gloves I use only on the coldest of days. They breathe fine for me, but I'm usually in my Hestras when it is about 25F, which is most days in Tahoe.

I’m really happy with my SX, have extra liners & a spare pair for next season.
They tuck into cuffs well.
I’ve not been able to waterproof them enough to not be sponges in wet, but in the dry cold- they rock.

Bump for Shannon and FTP for continuing to produce top notch products at an affordable price and for customer service that consistently goes above and beyond. If you own any of their gloves you already know, if you don't, you are missing out and likely overpaying!

Can anyone compare the BC glove head to head with Kinco 901s?
-

Imo, fit is better, more durable on the FTPs. (2 full seasons vs. 1 season at best for kincos)
I will most likely but the new elastic closure next time since the velcro strap crapped out early this season.

FTP are a bargain. Durable and warm
But when they switched to removable liners?
Holy shitballs. Best glove at any price.
Gloves wet? Pull the liners overnight
Hands sweaty in spring? Pull the liners and wear the leather shell.
Can’t say enough about how great they are.. . .

Yes , thanks for posting the deal. Ordered a replacement for my 3 year old spring glove. Theyre still functional but one is starting to wear at the thumb.
Picked up some BC's and a Tshirt. T's are reasonably priced as well.
Out of curiousity i checked for their instagram account. Turns out i follow them but their last post was jan 3. Maybe more ig presence would boost sales also?
