Need some gloves...

Was at a LBS the other day and tried on some Fox Sidewinder gloves that seemed to fit nice. Do these last quite well and is there any other gloves I should be looking at. I have seen Fox Digit gloves online, how do they compare?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you looking for comfort and breathability or comfort and protection?

For more on the protection side I use the RockGarden "FATE" and for long rides in the saddle I use Troy Lee "SE" glove. Both offer decent protection and have held up well when called upon to do their job.


FATE




SE

I quite like my Axo Padlock's I don't usually wear them on my bike but they're great on ATV's.

Looking for a bit of everything really. I have only tried some Specialized, forget the name and didnt care much for them....seemed lightweight. I tried Dakine Cross X, I think thats what they were called, those weren't as comfortable. Sidewinders are definitely the most comfortable I have tried so far and seem a good all rounder.
