for 5 bucks, theyre gd for something.

i prefer armored as well, but if u just have to spend money to feel safe thats retarded. the gloves i use most have armored knuckles, fingers, triple stitched, full gauntlet, etc. most importantly they fit. 5 bucks. those sold out quick tho

The only thing I don't like about A*'s is the 3rd and 4th finger bridge. I use my ring and middle finger to brake.

half truth, whether its gloves, gear, bikes, engine work, etc.

if i found those a* gloves u just bought for 20 bucks, does that automatically make them not good? see where i'm going? the gloves i got werent 5dollar gloves, i just lucked up and got em for 5bucks. u know it cost a* nowhere near what u paid to make those gloves. it may be good if its expensive, but being expensive doesnt always mean its good.

that being said-those a*'s are nice lookin

If you found those gloves for $20, they'd be cheap knock offs made in china and they would be crap.
