For sure, I wore them for two weeks straight driving to and from work to break them in. But now they do vanish, and it's perfect.
My friend bought the handroids and the skeleton on their outside came back and posed problems with fingers/brake lever (for those using 1-2 finger braking). I've always used Alpinestars GP Pro and GP Tech. Years of use for me!
I've been wearing Handroids since I started riding track, love them. With respect to the Cortech's, did you try to contact their warranty department? If it isn't considered a "wear" item, they might be able to help you out.
I always 1 or 2 finger brake. some days I cover the brake for most of the session. never had any type of issue with the exo Skelton but I also have big mitts
Has anyone had any experience with SafRace gloves? This review is pretty compelling and the price is way below the market for race gloves? They look crazy big/bulky. Review: http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-gloves/safrace-gloves/ Anyone ever use the Taichi gloves? Some old new stock of Taichi gloves on ebay for $70 seems like a good deal
Revzilla handled the warranty claim for me and they sent me a new set of gloves, but I am going to sell them or just keep them as spares. I would rather have a better quality glove. I tried the handroid, but they don't fit me well. The medium fit well in the palm and thumb, but the fingers were short. The large is too roomy in the palm and thumb, but the fingers fit well. So I sent them back and have order a pair of Racer R-safe gloves. They have not arrived yet, but they get stellar reviews.
I have the handroids, super comfortable but find that it doesn't fit well over the sleeves. The elbow pads in the sleeves push the glove forward, leaving gaps in the finger tips. Anyone else have this issue?
I'm going to hate the day I have to stop wearing my Teknics... Good thing Rev-it came out with the Jerez Pro! That will be my next pair.
Love my HELD Phantoms. Crash tested very good. The thumbs on mine might be a bit long, but has never got in the way of doing anything. When I get another pair of gloves Held will be on the very short list to look at, but so are handroids. Though I have not tried on haindroids so I am bias towards HELD at the moment.
I am also a Held Phantoms fan. Have tried many gloves and the Phantoms just fit my hands best. Great protection for the price IMO.
Love my A* Gp pros but have as I was worn the seems have worn out. cant wait to order a set of handdroids

Another Vote for Teknic here...... The key to longevity of gloves is to Air Dry and keep conditioned... I have gone through A Stars, Helds and Teknic by far has been a much better more durable glove IMO... Never had Droids... I heard some bad things years ago and have avoided them.....
