Currently alternating between Pro Carbons/Carbon Cover STs, oddly the Carbon Cover redesign seems more substantial than the Pro Carbons (minus the SS knuckles) imo
I looked up the Held Air and Dry gloves and they got raving reviews. With that being said a couple people raised the issue of the thumb not having ANY protection. I studied the pictures and couldn't find a difference between the thumb protection on those versus the Dainese Carbon Cover STs or the Pro Carbons. If anybody actually has a pair of these gloves it would be interesting to report on the thumb protection. From my understanding most of the damage usually occurs on the backside or palm of the hand so perhaps thumb protection doesn't really matter. Who knows? I hope somebody can answer this!
