isitafox Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Might be worth going to a MX shop and trying some proper motorcross/enduro gloves to see if they're any better for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoo python luke Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) how thick are the palm area because thats where its hurts the most after i ride or during a ride i dont know what you mean by "how thick" but they protect your palms and inbetween your thumb and index finger lovely. so id say reasonably thick, but still light and comfortable. here they are. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=24900 Edited April 28, 2010 by zoo python luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onzaicejack Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Get hebo gloves. They stop you getting blisters . Or buy foam grips, they are really good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Man the f**k up. Ride hard. Apply surgical spirit to the areas that hurt, it'll toughen the skin. Wash up less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamus Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Also make sure you get ones which fit YOU properly. I have long fingers and find 661's a better fit then Fox gloves, although I currently have some Fox sidewinders which I love Although for trials, unless its 'effing freezing then I don't wear gloves, if you are calloused up (hard bits of skin) then they can get sore if they get too big/deep (I kept getting blood blisters under mine) you can counter this by filing/carefully cutting the top part of the callous off when required. you'll be sore next ride but fine again after that. Also try changing your grips, perhaps the waffle pattern oddessey made popular for their grips as this does flex with your hand a bit?
