Oakley Factory Pro Glove 2 review

Oakley aren't known for doing anything by halves - and these Clarino and Kevlar freeride/downhill/ jump gloves are full-on. They look almost military, and the fit is good thanks largely to the detailed cut and, in part, to the stretchy Clarino fabric.

Great hardcore gloves for downhill, freeride and dirt jumping use.

Oakley aren't known for doing anything by halves - and these Clarino and Kevlar freeride/downhill/ jump gloves are full-on. They look almost military, and the fit is good thanks largely to the detailed cut and, in part, to the stretchy Clarino fabric.

The fingertips and knuckles are reinforced with abrasion-resistant Kevlar and the fingers and thumbs have rubberised sections to aid wet weather grip.

We've worn the gloves in sopping wet conditions and the fit and grip are fantastic, although the gloves are a bit bulky and warm for cross-country and hot weather use.
