What do 661 say?
Downhill champion Cedric Garcia’s signature glove. Features aggressive TPR finger and carbon fiber knuckle protection. The tough synthetic leather and mesh construction along with silicone finger grippers assure a comfortable, secure fit. Carbonfiber Knuckle Guard Clarino Palm with reinforced panels - CAMO Spandura back panel keeps you cool - Lycra finger gussets - TPR protection panels - Velcro wrist closure - Machine washable
What are they like?
Fresh out of the pack these gloves feel very comfortable indeed, and the carbon fibre knuckles not only look very hardcore but give a feeling of safety. The fit was spot on and like all good gloves once riding in them you tend to forget they are on, very good feel and grip and not too warm.
Unfortunately the rubber finger finger protection has worked loose on a few of the fingers, not a major problem and something a bit of superglue could fix, what is more worrying is the appearance of holes between the thumb and finger on both hands. I don’t think I grab the bars too hard but they have both worn out, perhaps it’s a case of not enough material or stitching in the wrong place but these are going to be all but dead within a few weeks. Suppose that’s not an issue for Gracia but for a £30 glove I’m not overly impressed.
