'AVERAGE'
Strengths:
Good quality and comfortable
Weaknesses:
Not enough padding
Overall:
Buy the more expensive model you will not regret it. Otherwise as a budget glove they are okay, I have found them better than more freely available US makes.

'GLOVES - NO COMPLAINTS.'
Strengths:
Descent cut, flexible, good palm protection / grip / padding, and good choice of fabrics.
Weaknesses:
*I am fearful I will get one of those pull off hoops caught on a lever or something!
Could do with a larger sweat / towling area.
Overall:
Odd they did not put their name to this item really, its on the underside of a label and states "designed by" or some such. Maybe after reading reviews here? I have had no issue with these at all. Plenty of padding, a good cut. I have had issues with the cut of gloves in the past and they either strangled my fingers or wallowed around my palm area like a baggy thing would. These fit just fine, after initially thinking - nooo too tight its just typical Assos form and function - they are hand shaped. They are quite a lot more pleasant than the normal mit grips when sopping wet.

'NOT ENOUGH PADDING.'
Strengths:
Good fit and easy to use. Good quality materials.
Weaknesses:
Way too little padding on the area where the thumb joins ths the palm. This is the most crucial spot and it has been missed.
Overall:
Costly gloves with good materials but design flaw.

'STARTED TO COME APART AFTER JUST 2 MONTHS'
Strengths:
Fine up until they started to come apart
Weaknesses:
Started to come apart after just 2 months

don't really expect this from Assos. Could have gone to. Maybe mine a duff pair. Still £17 down the plug.

'A PAIR OF GLOVES!'
Strengths:
Seem pretty well put together so far - have had a couple of minor falls and fabric/stiching seems to holding together fine enough.
Padding really good as well - no probs with going on long rides, or even falling off!
Weaknesses:
None really.
Overall:
Gloves that do as they say on the tin/cardboard. Got mine in a sale so even better value! Go nicely with my bar tape as well.
