Overall
The X-rider glove (Now the X Racer glove I believe) is a nice comfortable glove, that is good for the drier days. As I said, once it gets wet, its hard to get it dry. And after enough use, the seams started to break on the palm, but most gloves seem to do this. However, if you ever came across this glove at a good price, it is definitely a worthy conisderation.
Performance
They are fairly warm considering how thin they are. But once water does penetrate, they get very cold, and take quite a while to dry. The articulated fingers are nice, making it a relaxing fit despite its rigidity.
Value
These are race gloves. I won them, otherwise I could not afford them. They do a good job in the warmer and drier times of the year. The '07 equivilant is around $110, so it is a bit too pricey for just a park glove in my opinion, but that isn't really what it is for.
Fit
The glove itself is a very comfortable fit. A tad more rigid than other gloves, but they quickly break in
Durability
They are pretty strong gloves, especially the area on the top part of the hand. The downsides are the leather gets dirty quickly (but not much of an issue with me) and the leather seams on the palm began to break a bit too earlier for my liking.
