Hey all,

After a season and then some, my gloves have reached the end of their usefulness. They were some Trek half fingers I picked up at the LBS. Are all MTB gloves created equal? Suggestions?

I've been using Fox Digit full finger and they seem to be holding up really well after a few washings.

I just got a pair of these. My finger tips were slipping with the half finger ones on Scott's ride.

I prefer full finger gloves. I just pick up whatever comes along on chainlove for cheap. I seem to get about a year out of my gloves, so I like to keep them cheap. I'm not big on washing them, so after a season I'm looking to replace them whether they're worn or not. ;)

I have some Dakine something or other now that seem okay. I have close to 100 miles on them with no real sign of wear. The little grippies on the fingers seem like they're starting to peel off though...

Fox full-finger. I think they might be Digit gloves. The seem very durable. I got almost 2 seasons out of a pair of Dakines so they're good too. Just get whatever is cheap. I prefer full-finger though.
