    Pretty damned cool. Internal stitching on the fingers, means better protection in a slide.

    Just looks like a lot of farkles that will break the first time you slide on the tarmac. The exact opposite of KISS. I like the idea of biosplinting the pinky and ring finger together. Much simpler and more protective IMO.

    Knowing how little margin they carry that's a lot of overhead to carry a new glove.
    I worry that they'll get more expensive as they get more popular.
    I'm not so sure how durable the external parts will be and at that price I doubt they can offer crash warranty.

    I'll admit, even after buying the new top end Helds this year, those are tempting.

    Re: Anybody seen these gloves yet?

    Kind of cool looking. However I dont think they would make it more then one crash without ripping all that facny stuff off. Those little vent things on the plams would have been gone in my first get off this year. I think for now Ill stick with my Helds. I know what Im going to get out of them.

    I first saw them a few months back and fully expected that they would retail for $399 or more.

    +1, some of the best gloves I've ever owned... I wouldn't mind giving these a look though.

    Wait a minute, is that the pinnacle of the range? Or is there something else that's even more pinnacle-esque?

    I love the Held gloves, but I may just have to test these out.
    I tried to watch the whole video, but I just couldn't sit still for the whole thing.

    Care to elaborate? Were you wearing a pair when that happened?

    I realize that... the guy said "the pinnacle" at least 17 times in the video.
