Today I (v2):
I ride my road bike offroad all the time with 100psi and me weighing around 85kg.

There's no doubt my lines were pretty bad, but based on that pic alone the rocks I was dealing with were also a lot sharper and bigger so that probably didn't help either.

I've never had much luck with giro gloves... 3rd ride with a pair and the stitching is coming apart already at the finger panels. 
Forgot to add, they were the remedy X2's, supposedly their "tough" MTB gloves....

I swear by the DND on the mtb, best glove ever. It took a year and my bikepacking trip in AZ to destroy them.
When i got back home first thing i did was order another pair.
I got pair of these fox gloves that are super lightweight and they're fantastic, except for the fact that the grippers (which actually do help) on the index fingers are already coming off after maybe a dozen rides

Congrats. It sounds like you didn't have a problem, but congrats still. Second best thing I ever did was quit drinking and smoking. Will be 4 years in February. Haven't had a sip since that day. And I will tell you what, a Coke after a really good ride is a pretty damn good substitute!!
Still kicking.

Extremely accurate. Picked up a set of the Fox Ranger lightweight gloves off of Jenson or wherever. First ride, they started falling apart. Luckily I paid like $12.00 for them so it isn't a huge loss. Was hoping that they were a little tougher than a wet Kleenex tho.

Happy holidays all! I just walked out to find the passenger side window of my car smashed... Too bad for whoever did it, because there was nothing valuable in there! I feel sorry for the guy. Merry Christmas, wherever you are.
The nice breakfast and irish coffees that I'm about to enjoy with my gf should put my day back in the right direction .

Watched rogue one today in imax. I successfully went into the movie blind, avoiding spoilers and even the released trailers, to my pleasure.
Without a doubt follows canon.
The sqrl practically lost it when she heard me say under my breath "oh ****, it's ip man!"

Thanks haha. Honestly if there was anything valuable that I lost, I'd probably be pissed.
