    Been using my pair of handroids for just under two years now. They work pretty well for me, comfy and easy to use. Just the little velcro strap that helps secure around your wrist can sometimes work free and be a pain in the arse to rethread back if you've got both gloves on already.

    The tightening system is cool and a cinch to release. When people notice the exo-skeleton type protection over the back of the fingers, they always are interested in it!

    Pricey, but if you can spring for them, you'll love them! Just my two cents!

    I have a pair of Handroids and are extremely pleased with them. Best feel ever on the bars, and the protection they give makes all other gloves I've used over the years feel distinctly weedy in comparison. You won't be disappointed.

    I have a pair and as Sugilite said they really make you feel protected! The feel through the kangaroo palms is excellent too. I found they took a while to break in and I got a bit of numbness in my hands for a while until they broke in. I did feel the scaphoid sliders through the palms a bit initially but not so much now.

    Top gloves and they make you feel like a motocycling bad ass android

    Been looking at these pretty much since they came out. The only negative reviews I've seen were some that said the white ones get stained from the handlebars really easy and the thumb can be a bit big for some people. Apart from that people say they're awesome gloves. Definitely getting them once my A*'s eventually die. There's one guy from the UK currently on ebay selling them for around $250nz but he's all sold out of XL. The rest of ebay is around the 300nz mark. Local price seems to be circa $350. They will be mine.....

    I looked into Knox 'droids a few weeks back. No major issues with them that I could find. Go for it.

    I bought a set of RS Taichi GP-EVO instead; a little cheaper, less showy, move easily, solid build. Have a look at those too.

    RS Taichi or where I bought them?

    RS Taichi is Japanese. You don't see their stuff around much but it's good stuff. Link here.

    I bought them from the US here, vid review here ...and they fit one size small (e.g. if you're normally Med, get Large)


    ... oh, on the label it says "made in china"... but then again so does the label on some A* GP Pro's.

    Yes they do look the part. Kangaroo is sweet eh.

    If I had of known Knox do a 'droid full black version I might have gone for those.
