BHNC: Bloody Hands, Not Clean
The Bomb Hills, Not Countries slide gloves by Sector Nine are first and foremost, aesthetically pleasing. They look great, I particularly like the yellow highlights and the reflective accents on the back of the hand. While it may not be very functional, I think even the Kevlar patches on the fingertips give these gloves some visual appeal.
As I would expect from any manufactured slide glove, these gloves fit very nicely. They offer full range of motion for your entire hand, which is ideal for when you need to grab a drink, check your cell phone, or any small tasks.
However, a downside to this range of motion is the sacrifice in durability which occurs. The toughest fabric on these gloves is the Kevlar finger patches, which realistically do not stand up to any amount of friction. The neoprene wrist and strap is comfortable, but flimsy. After a single slide jam, the wrist on my left glove was shredded to pieces.
The stock pucks are tiny and obnoxiously shaped like the Sector Nine pool ball logo, so even though they are round, they have funky dips and chunks missing from them at the start. They are very high density pucks, so they slide like ice and offer very little resistance to the road. This can be either a negative or a positive, depending on what type of slide you like from your pucks.
Considering the price of these gloves compared to other gloves on the market, I understand why there is a difference in quality. However, I would still hope that a professionally manufactured glove would perform better than my homemade gloves. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
My advice is this: If you're looking for cheap gloves, go to the store buy a cutting board, some velcro, a pair of leather gloves, and some glue. You'll save money and you may even make tougher gloves than these. If you don't mind the extra money, find higher quality gloves elsewhere.
Bloody Fingers
Sweet gloves, but you better keep your fingers off the ground or make your own finger pucks. I like having free range of motion in my fingers, so I bought these gloves thinking the "reinforced" fingers would hold up. They didnt last 3 days. I eventually put some leather fingertips over these fingertips and they've lasted a while, But I'm switching to timeship fingerdipped.
keep your fingers off the ground
This is an above average slide glove though it tears if your not careful with your fingers. the puck slides smoothly, I recommend these.
Awesome but could have better construction
At first I absolutely loved these gloves. Super light and breathable. The pucks wear down pretty quick, catch on everything, and are tiny. The kevlar stuff blows. I used gaffer tape over the worn down finger tips. But once you get past all that they are really sweet. I stillhave mine and they're gnarred to death but they're my favorite free-ride glove.
Great gloves, but....
These are great! they are light, fit perfectly, and good pucks. The only problem is that they dont last long, like beanboy22 said, "Overall I feel like you could go down to Home Depot and make the same quality gloves for half the price"
