Reviews
“Been using the Knox Oryx gloves for a while now and they are the most protective gloves I have seen. Whether it’s clipping a pole in a race run or hitting tree/ floor in a crash there is very good protection on the knuckles without any restriction and the SPS system not only helps to hold your hand on the bars they also protect your palm when you inevitably put your hand forward to protect yourself in a crash”. Liam Little, UK Elite DH & BDH Racer “The gloves are brilliant, really comfy, light and I love the design. I wasn’t sure about the hard protection in the palms when I first got them, however I couldn’t notice it while I was riding, I often bruise the bottom of my palms and the protection in your gloves has stopped this”. Rosie Smith, Women’s DH Racer competing in IXS and BDH “I received my Knox Oryx gloves at the start of 2012 and was particularly keen to see how the SPS (scaphoid protection system) would ‘feel’ – especially as I have been a previous scaphoid victim, which lost me months out of the sport. I have to say that these gloves have stood the test better than any other makes I have used! They are very comfortable, the SPS plates are positioned perfectly – and in fact actually increase the positive feel on the bars. Also, they have proved to be up to the job in terms of durability, as in past seasons my gloves have been literally coming apart at the seams! Not the Knox Oryx though, they are still 100% and they leave me with a simple choice for next season – Oryx it is then!” UK Elite Downhill MTB rider Stu Jenkinson “I am in a very fortunate position where I get given a lot of kit to test for free. I’ve got numerous jackets, shorts, shoes and gloves. Out of all the gloves I grab on the way out the Knox Oryx are the top choice. Quite simply they fit me well, they are comfortable and great quality”. I work in a shop and I always give the most honest answer to any question I am asked. If I were to mislead my customers, they wouldn’t come back and if I am asked to recommend some gloves I would not lose any sleep at night if I recommended this pair. They have travelled all over the country with me and as much as I hate to admit it I have fallen off whilst wearing them. In short I slid down a rocky hill at Lee Quarry… I was riding really hard!” The SPS certainly saved my wrist. After breaking my right wrist twice – and not getting paid if I don’t go to work – I have to protect my aching bones! I find that the SPS keeps my hands from bouncing off the bars when I tackle rocky downhills and the “plastic blocks” don’t get in the way whilst riding cross country. Of course the best option is not to fall off. But if you are trying hard it and riding a lot, it will happen. If you are wearing a pair of Oryx you will be back in the saddle, not heading back home”. “I have got the white pair and after all the summer rain and grime they are still remarkably white. Buy a pair, it will be an investment in your bones! 4.5 out of 5″ Dan M from Sherwood Pines Cycles
