I had a pair of Fieldsheer Warriors on when I low-sided the first time at the track. The gauntlet ripped through and I got a touch of rash on my wrist. I was not impressed. They were very comfortable up to that point, but if they don't hold together in a crash, what's the point?

I'm wearing a pair of Held Thrux these days. They survived another track lowside () with only a little scuffing.

Never heard of those. I'll have to check them out. How do they fit size and length wise?

looks like I have 3 different versions. if I recall correctly, the chrome ones were 05 models and the carbon weave are older but all are new. They smell a bit musty but some lexol leather conditioner will have them looking and feeling like new

I'll have to meet up with you and try them on. Figure out what you want for them.

Get good ones the first time, not a a pair of cheapO's! The (fake) carbon fiber knuckle protectors were just decoration and squezed my knuckles everytime I had to engage the clutch. They quickly turned a fun ride into frustration. Basically just threw away $40.
