Re: oakley gloves

oakleys are pretty poor in cold conditions IMO ive ordered some SOLAGs but they wont be instock in small till march

You need a small? You must be smaller than me then! Measure the width of your hand without including the thumb, if you still need small you must have more girly hands than me!

Re: oakley gloves

ahh ok, i did try searching for a size chart but didn't find much - will try again. When you say they perform poor in cold cold conditions, howd you mean? they dont keep your hands warm? if so, i'm not too concerned - Just want something thin enough so i can feel my gun but something to protect my knuckles. SOLAGS look a bit thicker than the Oaklet SI's ?

Having tried and used both SOLAGs and Oakleys the Oakleys don't come close. My mate bought oakleys because of the COOL CARBON FIBRE KNUCKLES! but build quality and fitting wise the SOLAGs out perform them. I get really good dexterity with mine and with the double wrist straps they fit perfectly. They keep your hands warm as well and they dry out very quickly (Depending on which model you get). The Oakleys strap is very small and hard to do up quickly or when wearing the other glove and it does not keep your hand as secure. The grip dots on the fingertips wear off quickly and don't help dexterity at all. Either way the SOLAGs work much better as gloves where as the Oakleys are a bit more of a fashion item, especially as they have uncovered CF nuckles and the SOLAG CF gloves they are covered. Says a lot. Either way i will be sticking with my Blackhawks and my mate wished he had bought the same (Although he would never admit it openly).
