\"2010_Mpact_CB\"<\/a>These popped up on Amazon since I got the 2008 iteration of the M-pact glove<\/a> there a couple years back. My old ones were getting old, and these were available in somewhat subdued tacti-geek coyote brown instead of NASCAR neon, so into my shopping cart they went. The build quality appears as good as my old pair. The molded-on vinyl armor is slightly more minimalist, but looks cool and still does the job about as well. Grip, breathability, and comfort are all about the same. The sizing seems to be a bit loose compared to my older set, which probably is why the armor strip for the pointer doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quite line up with the first knuckle and centerline of the finger properly. These don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really shrink, so the fit will remain the same for their lifetime. The brown color doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t show dirt stains and crud, which is great for MTB use, but they tend to blend in with the background, so avoid dropping or misplacing them in the woods. It would be nice if they were made of a flame-retardant material for actual motorized vehicle wrenching or tactical use, but for MTB riding, they are fine \u00e2\u20ac\u201c plunging one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hands into flames is an exceedingly rare occurrence while cycling. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d work pretty well for airsoft too (another generally flame-less activity). Like their predecessors, they lack any kind of absorbent sweat\/snot wiping material. Although they were not expressedly designed for sports use, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not like the need to wipe the sweat from one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s brow is unheard of when working on a car or patrolling the streets of Iraq.<\/p>\n
