I like them because they have kangaroo leather palms, but no real protection for the palm and fingers. I am leaning towards X-Strike or 4 Stroke Evo right now.
4 stroke evo would be 2nd for me. I like the evo and frazer because they come up past the wrist a little more. The frazer also has extra layer of leather on fingers and palms so i wouldn't be concerned about it and it would be a much lighter feeling glove. I really dont like bulky gloves at all though. Are you stuck on Dainese? Not sure if they make them anymore but Held Racing had the best gloves I've ever owned. No extra material in the gloves that felt weird, held up forever, vented good, and had a nice liner that made it the most comfortable glove. Part of buying gear is whatever makes you feel comfortable mentally. If you think the evos would hold up better then I'd probably pick them
You are right, it's important to feel comfortable, but I put more importance in protection this time, because if you fall, the first thing that hit the ground are the hands, so I would get something that has a good palm protection. Between 4 Strike Evos and X-Strike, which one offers more comfort? I would get Dainese, to have a complete gear from Dainese.
I would say the evo is better then the same x strike. Looks like a higher glove. I would rather have enough extra glove to fit under my jacket sleeve. That way if your sleeve pulls back at all theres a little more glove there to make up for it
