Strengths:    nice material

Weaknesses:    poor construction

I was disappointed when I started finding the padding on the floor after less than one month of use. I happened on both gloves so it doesn't seem like a fluke.

Strengths:    The velcro closure is hanging in there. It hasn't started to curl as have other gloves of mine in the past.

Weaknesses:    A seam on the palm felt like it was giving me a blister but it didn't. It just irritated me for the day. thankfully it only happend once and I have been unable to recreate that condition.

Bottom Line:   
Sharp looking glove. Its priced right and hasn't stretched out yet.

Strengths:    Fit, ventilation on top, wrist tab is unobtrusive, material between fingers doesn't cause problems, padding is just right.

Weaknesses:    No ventilation in palms, price.

Bottom Line:   
After trying the 03 BG Pro gloves and finding them a lacking after several uses, I decided to try the Comp version. At first I thought the padding was a bit too much under the knuckles, but it was actually my left brake hood that was a little out of alignment causing my left index finger to go numb. After fixing the problem, no more numbness. This glove fits very well, has just the right amount of padding around the ulnar nerve, and the top ventilates well. The palm does not ventilate as well as I had hoped it would, however. Do you detect a theme in my last 3 reviews, lol? La.'s heat and humidity is too much for any glove, really. I have to say that these gloves are better than their predecessor and better than the Pro model. After having accrued more saddle time and gained more upper body strength I've found I prefer minimal padding. I also prefer gloves with wrist tabs, and I don't like the pull-on type of glove. I give these a 3 for value and a 4 overall.
