For riders who are looking for a new pair of high-quality mountain bike gloves, Answer has created the new Strike Neoprene for 2012. While the gloves are designed to be tough, they are sensitive enough to keep the rider connected to the bike, as well.

Suitably rated to 25°F, the durable and warm 5mm gloves are designed for three-season use. Grip is enhanced by the Clarino Amara palm material of the Strike Neoprene while control is guaranteed by the pre-curve anatomic shape of the gloves.

With guaranteed tough quality, the 2012 Answer Strike Neoprene Mountain Bike Gloves can tackle the challenges of mountain bike riding and the frequent beatings in the washing machine. The cuff is extended for more warmth and absorbent cotton terry cloth thumbs are added for a convenient snot wipe.

One of the latest cycling products released by Troy Lee Designs for 2012 is the Grand Prix Air Gloves. With long fingers and no gel insert, these gloves are carefully tailored to imitate the human hands to help them hold the handlebar grips with maximum comfort.

With Air-Prene and Velcro backed TPR wrist closure, the adjustable fit of the gloves is made as comfortable and non-restrictive as possible. Grip is enhanced by the silicon applique on the fingers and on the lightly padded single-layer Clarino leather palm.

Aside from being lightweight, the 2012 Troy Lee Designs Grand Prix Air Gloves are so comfortable and cool running that riders barely feel that they are wearing them. Moreover, optimized hand protection is offered by the bio-foam protection on top of the hand and soft TPR sonic-welds.

Featuring a new 1×4 split-knuckle design, the 2012 RockGardn Fate Carbon Gloves guarantee high quality and reliable performance. Sewn to a leather edge are four independent pieces instead of a large single-piece knuckle. In turn, the leather edge is sewn to a neoprene panel, which is floating and ventilated.

To help the knuckle pieces articulate with the hand’s position, the neoprene panel slides over the breathable Airmesh top layer. This helps get rid of pressure points both for braking and gripping. Attached to the Airprene layer are the internally padded carbon-fiber forefingers and knuckles.

While the real cowhide leather inside thumb and lower palm maximize comfort and abrasion resistance, the sweat-absorbing terrycloth back thumb comes with a leather-reinforced tip. Lastly, the durability and breathability of the gloves are enhanced by its woven finger gussets.

In order to protect the middle and index fingers of the rider, the Karma gloves have direct injected ribs and silicon beads that offer a positive lever texture. These gloves optimize the cool, lightweight, and personalized connection between the rider and the bike.

While featuring maximum performance and great aesthetics, the 2012 RockGardn M-Theory MTB Gloves are available for a very reasonable price. This makes these mountain bike gloves one of the must-buy items for riders who are price-conscious but do not compromise the quality.

Several amazing features are offered by the RockGardn M-Theory. Comfort is optimized by its full-length TPR finger protection that has a soft-stretch Airprene knuckle panel and the silicon grippers of its reinforced palm on the middle and index fingers.

While these mountain bike gloves are perfect for DH, they can also tackle XC pretty well. On the other hand, the downsides of the RockGardn M-Theory include its heaviness when wet and its tendency to make the hands feel hot during summer rides.

Oakley has a new item for mountain biking for 2011, which is the Factory glove. The minimalist slip-on design makes the glove look too weak for hard trail riding and its soft and thin material is something expected from a lightweight driving glove. However, the glove is surprisingly durable.

Sufficient airflow is provided by the lightweight fabric of the Factory. Through this, the hands of the rider are kept cool and free from dank sweat. With the thin material, riders can handle the bars with a nice feel. One amazing feature of the glove is a soft terry cloth nose-wipe on the thumb.

Durable, comfortable, and unbelievably functional, the 2011 Oakley Factory Glove is ideal for mountain biking and XC races. It comes in six color options with Wade Simmons and Brian Lopes signature editions. It is incredibly affordable as well.
