Fox Racing calls its Sidewinder Gloves the most versatile in its line. When you reach for the brake levers while barreling through finger-whipping brush, you'll understand why. Despite the top-of-hand protection, your fingers will still find the brake lever because of mesh gussets in the joints. While indulging in mellow singletrack, the single-layer of Clarino synthetic leather sitting between your palms and the grips means that you'll still feel the trail, too.
