Default Knox Handroid Golves VS??

Howayas!

Getting new gloves in the next week or so and was looking for oppinions on the Knox Handroids. I've herd mixed reviews on them! Anybody on here actually got them and had them for a good few months? How they holding up, are they worth the money ect.

I'm also open to suggestions from people on what to get! I was looking at the Alpinestars GP Plus and GP Pro gloves as well and they seem pretty decent.

Looking to get some really good decent gear that will last to replace whats left of mine!

My handroids burst at the seams on the fingers. I've had a lot of hassle with knox after that and they wernt willing to replace them until they lost them on me over the winter which ment they had to! still waiting on my new ones!

If I was you id buy the Alpinestars!
