The Chronic Consumer

Motocross gear is very expensive, so I’ve been outfitting my son a bit slowly. Instead of spending $1,000 on everything he needs, I started with the important stuff (helmet and boots) and have been adding to his equipment bag whenever I can. My most recent purchase was these Fox Dirtpaw MX Gloves.

Motocross gloves are important because they’re padded around the knuckles to protect your hand against the rocks and roost that might churn up while riding on the track. In addition, some MX gloves claim to help prevent or reduce arm pump. This isn’t something I’d know about, as I don’t ride.

Anyway, these Fox Dirtpaw MX gloves for kids are pretty good. They fit snugly, serve as protection, and have survived several washes without adverse effects. The only thing I don’t like about them is that it practically required a certificate in document management to get through all the tags that were attached to the product at the time of purchase! Seriously, less is more, fellas.

The bottom line: for $20, you really can’t go wrong with these Fox Dirtpaw MX gloves. Now I just hope they last until my son outgrows them!
