Advice on gloves?

[drinkwat]

Im looking for a pair of gloves that provides some knuckle and plam protection and are durable. Does anyone have suggestions? I have looked at the oakley factory pilot, but they seem to lack palm protection, fox bomber and unabomers seem to lack durablity as do the rock gardn fates. Has anyone tried the scott DH Xtreme III?

Thanks

I find that most dirt motocycle shops have a variety of very good gloves that offer good protection yet are light and flexible.

I use a pair of Mechanix-style gloves.

Mechanix M-Pact. Had really good prices at Overstock not too long ago.

what kind of palm protection?
Padding or skid-proof?

Rockin Fox Digit full gloves. No complaints here.

Just good padding.

a few years back Race Face had the "perfect" MTB glove called the Race Face DH Gripper.

perfect fit
rubberized fabric on the palm
very little padding - I hate over padded gloves

sadly they updated their design. doh! Good thing a picked up about 4 pairs on closeout!
