The little finger split at the seam.
The palms as you can see opened up but i cant see that the place where they split was where i touched the ground, it looks like the large padded area of the palm took the impact and the stretching then forced apart the stitching on the thin bit.
all at 40'ish mph :eek
so ill be looking for uber palm protection on my next set.
thats why knox handroids are good, they have "sliders" on the palms to help stop with that automatic reaction of sticking your hands down in an off (at least thats what the blurb says) - I just like the fact that they were designedby guys who ride bikes and not some designer sat at a computer trying to think what will bring good protection. shame I cant afford them (but they are well within the OP's criteria at ~£140-150 :lol
